Is There Uber in Morocco? (Getting Around)
Quick answer
No, Uber pulled out of Morocco and isn’t available. Locals and visitors use petit taxis (metered, in-city), grand taxis (shared, longer routes), and in some cities ride-hailing apps like inDrive or Careem, plus excellent trains and CTM/Supratours buses between cities.
If you’re used to opening an app for a ride, Morocco takes a small adjustment — Uber left the market years ago after legal and taxi-industry friction. The good news is that taxis are cheap and everywhere, and intercity transport is genuinely good.
Here’s how to move around without the app you know, and how to avoid the one common annoyance: the unmetered fare.
Taxis: petit and grand
Petit taxis are small, colour-coded city cabs (a different colour per city — e.g. khaki in Marrakech, red in Casablanca) for short hops within town, carrying up to three passengers. Insist on the meter (“compteur”); if a driver won’t use it, agree the fare before getting in. Fares are low — typically 10–30 MAD around town, a little more at night.
Grand taxis are older Mercedes that run fixed longer routes, often shared (six passengers crammed in) for a set price per seat, or hireable privately for day trips and airport runs if you negotiate.
Ride-hailing apps that do work
While Uber is gone, apps like inDrive and (in some cities) Careem operate in a legal grey area but are widely used in Casablanca, Rabat and sometimes Marrakech — handy for fixed, app-set prices and avoiding meter haggling. Coverage and reliability vary by city and time of day.
Download one before you arrive as a backup, but don’t rely on it everywhere — street petit taxis are still the workhorse.
Between cities: trains and buses
Morocco’s train network (ONCF), including the Al Boraq high-speed line between Tangier and Casablanca, is comfortable, punctual and great value — the best way to travel the Casablanca–Rabat–Fes and coastal corridors. Book ahead in peak season.
For routes trains don’t cover, CTM and Supratours run reliable, comfortable coaches. For door-to-door comfort over the Atlas or to the desert, a private driver is the easy (if pricier) option.
Key takeaways
- Uber is not available in Morocco.
- Use petit taxis in town (insist on the meter) and grand taxis for longer routes.
- inDrive/Careem work in some cities (Casablanca, Rabat, sometimes Marrakech).
- Trains (ONCF/Al Boraq) and CTM/Supratours buses are excellent between cities.
