How much is a taxi from Marrakech airport? Prices for 2026
Ahlam Giyat · Travel editor at Taxi Maroc Aéroport, Marrakech · Prices reviewed 25/07/2026
The ALSA line 19 bus costs 30 MAD per person. An official petit taxi to the city centre is quoted between roughly 50 and 200 MAD depending on which source you read, with a higher official tariff after 20:00. Our private transfer is €15 per vehicle for up to 3 passengers, fixed the moment you book. Below we show every published figure side by side so you can see exactly where the disagreement comes from.
RAK handled around 9.3 million passengers in 2024, and official ground-transport information for the airport is published by ONDA.
What each option costs
| Option | Price | Passengers | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ALSA bus, line 19 | 30 MAD per person | Every 20–30 min, city centre near Jemaa el-Fna | |
| Petit taxi (day) | Published range 50–200 MAD | Max 3 | Varies by source and destination, see below |
| Petit taxi (after 20:00) | Official night tariff, higher | Max 3 | Legitimate, not a surcharge on tourists |
| Grand taxi | Published range varies | Up to 6 | Agree the fare before departure |
| Private transfer (us) | €15 sedan · €22 SUV · €30 van | 1–7 by vehicle | Fixed at booking, no deposit, free cancellation 24h |
Is there an official Marrakech airport taxi fare?
Not one you can look up before you fly. The airports authority (ONDA) says the fares are posted at the taxi rank outside arrivals, but its website does not publish a single figure. Most sources put the day fare to the medina or Gueliz at 70–150 MAD, and the official night tariff after 20:00 is higher. Agree the price before the car moves, or book a fixed transfer and know the cost in advance.
Why every website quotes you a different taxi price
We checked seven sites that rank for this question on the same day. They do not agree, and that is the single most useful thing to know before you land, because it means no published number is a rate you can hold a driver to.
The spread has three causes: some sites quote the metered fare and others quote the flat airport rate; some include the night tariff in their range and others list it separately; and "the city centre" means Gueliz to one writer and a riad deep in the medina to another. None of them is necessarily lying.
This is the comparison, unedited:
| Source | Day rate quoted | Night rate quoted |
|---|---|---|
| marrakechtaxi.com | 100–150 MAD | 150–240 MAD (after 22:00) |
| marrakechtransportagency.com | 100–150 MAD | |
| allo-taxi-marrakech.com | 100–150 MAD | higher at night |
| airporttransferportal.com | 70–200 MAD | |
| carentfy.com | 70 MAD | 100 MAD |
| kechtaxi.com | 70 MAD | 100 MAD |
| moroccantraveltrips.com | 50–80 MAD (metered) | +50% |
What does not change, whatever you pay
- A petit taxi carries a maximum of three passengers by law. A family of four cannot use one.
- A grand taxi takes up to six.
- The night tariff after 20:00 is official. It is not a surcharge invented for tourists.
- Agree the fare before the car moves, or insist on the meter. Doing this after you are seated with your luggage in the boot never goes well.
- No taxi can drive into the medina alleys. You will be set down at the nearest gate and walk from there, whatever you paid.
- Only use the marked rank outside arrivals. Ignore anyone offering you a ride inside the terminal.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a taxi from Marrakech airport to the medina?
Published rates range from about 50 to 200 MAD depending on the source, the time of day and where exactly in the medina you are going. The official night tariff applies after 20:00. A fixed private transfer with us is €15 per vehicle.
How much is the airport bus in Marrakech?
ALSA line 19 costs 30 MAD per person and runs between the airport and the city centre near Jemaa el-Fna, roughly every 20 to 30 minutes.
Is there a night surcharge on Marrakech taxis?
Yes, and it is the official rate, not a scam. It applies after 20:00. Pre-booked transfers picked up between 21:00 and 07:00 carry a 50% night surcharge, shown in the price before you confirm.
How many people fit in a petit taxi?
Three passengers maximum, by law. For four or more you need a grand taxi or a private vehicle.
Can I pay a Marrakech taxi in euros?
Local taxis expect dirhams. Our drivers accept cash in EUR, MAD or USD; card payment is made online when you book.
Is it cheaper to take a taxi or book a transfer?
For one or two people travelling in daylight with light luggage, the rank can be cheaper. For three or more, or for a riad inside the medina, a fixed-price transfer is usually both cheaper and calmer. After 21:00 the taxi's night tariff and our night rate (+50% between 21:00 and 07:00) both apply, so compare the two quotes.
Fares set by the local authorities can change. If you spot a figure on this page that no longer matches the tariff board at arrivals, tell us and we will correct it.
How much is a taxi from Marrakech airport to the city centre?
With the meter, 70 to 100 MAD to the medina or Gueliz by day, and roughly 50% more at night. Airport drivers often quote 150 to 200 MAD instead. Our fixed private transfer is €15 per vehicle.
Is there a bus from Marrakech airport?
Yes, ALSA route 19 runs to the city for 30 MAD one way, or 50 MAD return valid two weeks, every 20 to 30 minutes from about 06:00 to 23:00. It stops at Place du 16 Novembre in Gueliz and then Jemaa el-Fna.
Why do drivers quote 200 dirhams?
Because many arriving travellers pay without questioning it. The meter exists and works: ask for it, or agree a price before getting in.
Do airport taxis use the meter?
Not always, and that is the heart of the problem. Insist on the meter, or fix the price before your luggage goes in the boot.
What is the difference between a petit taxi and a grand taxi?
The petit taxi is beige, takes up to three passengers and works within the city. The grand taxi is white, larger, and is mostly used for journeys outside Marrakech.
How much is your private transfer from the airport?
€15 per vehicle to the medina or Gueliz, €18 to Hivernage, €30 to the Palmeraie. Fixed before you land, whatever the traffic or the hour.
Is a private transfer more expensive than a taxi?
For one person, a metered taxi can be slightly cheaper. For two or more, with luggage, or at night, the fixed price is usually equal or lower, and there is no negotiation on arrival.
Should I tip the driver?
It is not required. 10 to 20 dirhams on a city run is appreciated if the service was good.
Do prices change by season?
Ours are fixed all year. Metered fares do not officially change either, but the pressure to negotiate rises sharply in July, August and December.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. A €15 transfer costs €15 whether one or three of you travel.
How do I avoid overpaying on arrival?
Three rules: insist on the meter, or agree the price before getting in, or pre-book a fixed price. The worst moment to negotiate is straight off a flight.
What is the average Marrakech taxi cost?
Inside the city a metered petit taxi ride is usually 10–30 MAD by day and roughly 50% more at night. Marrakech taxi prices are only fixed on the airport run if you book ahead: our private transfer is €15 per car to the medina or Gueliz, €18 to Hivernage and €30 to the Palmeraie.
