Morocco airport exit guides
Moroccan airports (CMN, RAK, AGA, FEZ) have a well-known taxi haggling culture. Grand taxis (big Mercedes) are shared and cheap; petit taxis (small colored) are for solo/couple rides inside the city. Always agree the fare before departure.
Common exit risks
- • 'Meter broken' + 500 MAD quote when the fair fare is 150
- • Fake 'official' porters at RAK demanding tips
- • Currency confusion — some drivers quote in dirhams, some in centimes (1 dirham = 100 centimes)
Cash & card advice
- • Metered taxis exist but drivers often refuse to use the meter — negotiate a flat fare in MAD (dirhams) before getting in.
Ride-hailing status
- • Careem operates in Casablanca and Rabat. No Uber. inDriver has some presence.
