📖 Read the full guide: taxi, bus and private transfer compared →

Ahlam Giyat · Ahlam Giyat · 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 22:00. 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.

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:

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 22:00 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.

We publish this because nobody else does. If a route below shows a lower figure elsewhere, that operator usually quotes a smaller vehicle or excludes tolls — always check what is included before you compare.

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 22:00. 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 22:00. We do not apply any night surcharge on pre-booked transfers.

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, USD, GBP or MAD, or card payment.

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, for any arrival after 22:00, or for a riad inside the medina, a fixed-price transfer is usually both cheaper and calmer.

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.
