Morocco is a country of vibrant cities, stunning landscapes, and unforgettable experiences. But ask any traveler, and they’ll tell you that navigating the intercity transport—especially the chaotic Grand Taxis—can be one of the biggest headaches. Haggling, sharing cramped space, and constantly worrying about the meter can turn an exciting travel day into a stressful ordeal.
That’s why we’re sharing our ultimate game-changer for traveling between Moroccan cities: InDrive. This ride-hailing app, known for its unique pricing model, offers a reliable, affordable, and stress-free way to hop from Marrakech to Casablanca, Rabat to Tangier, and everywhere in between.
Why Choose InDrive for Intercity Morocco Travel?
In major Moroccan cities, you’ll hear about InDrive (formerly InDriver) for local rides, but its City-to-City service is a lifesaver for long-distance travel. Here’s why it outshines traditional options:
1. You Set the Price (and Save Money!)
This is the key feature. Unlike other apps where an algorithm dictates the non-negotiable price, InDrive uses a peer-to-peer pricing model.
- How it works: You enter your pickup and drop-off points (e.g., Marrakech to Essaouira) and propose a fare you think is fair.
- The magic: Drivers who see your request can either accept your price or offer a counter-bid. You can then review the offers, choose the price you’re happy with, and select a driver based on their rating and vehicle. This puts you, the passenger, in control and almost always results in a better deal than negotiating with a street taxi.
2. No Stressful Haggling
Forget the high-pressure situation of trying to negotiate with a Grand Taxi driver who insists his meter is broken. With InDrive, the price is agreed upon in the app before the car arrives. You know exactly what you’ll pay, eliminating any surprises or disputes upon arrival.
3. Comfortable and Private Transfers
Grand Taxis are often shared, meaning your ride is delayed while the driver waits for the car to fill up with four to six people. With InDrive, you’re booking the entire car, which means a direct route, more space for your luggage, and a much more comfortable journey.
4. Safety and Tracking
The app provides the driver’s name, photo, car model, and license plate number before you get in. You can also share your trip details with friends or family via the app’s tracking feature, adding a layer of security that traditional taxis can’t match.
How to Book Your Intercity Ride on InDrive (Step-by-Step)
Booking a long-distance trip is slightly different than booking a quick ride to the market. Follow these steps to secure your City-to-City ride:
Step 1: Download and Set Up the App
Download the InDrive app (available on iOS and Android) and set your location to Morocco. You will need to use a local or active phone number for registration.
Step 2: Enter Your Destination
Tap the “City to City” option. Enter your exact pickup location and your final drop-off city. Be as specific as possible.
Step 3: Propose Your Fare
The app will suggest a fare range. Use this as a guide, but don’t be afraid to start a little lower than the suggested range to maximize your savings. Remember to factor in the distance and time of day.
- Pro Tip: If your trip is over 3 hours, consider offering a little more than the low end of the suggested range. A fair offer encourages drivers to accept quickly, especially for long distances.
Step 4: Choose Your Driver
Within minutes, you’ll start receiving offers and counter-bids. Review the list and select your driver based on:
- Price: Did they accept your fare or make an acceptable counter-offer?
- Rating: Choose drivers with a high rating (4.8 stars or higher).
- Vehicle: Look at the car model to ensure it can comfortably fit you and your luggage.
Step 5: Communicate and Pay
Once accepted, the driver will call or message you through the app to confirm the pickup spot. All payments in Morocco are typically made in cash (Moroccan Dirhams) directly to the driver at the end of the trip.
How to Save Even More on Your InDrive Rides
We’re all about smart travel. Here are a few tricks to get the best possible fare:
- Be Flexible: If you’re traveling during a holiday, late at night, or very early in the morning, be prepared to offer a slightly higher fare. Mid-day bookings usually have more availability.
- Check the Grand Taxi Price First: Before proposing a fare, ask a local or look up what a Grand Taxi to that city normally costs. Propose a fare slightly above that shared price, as you’re getting a private vehicle.
- Set a Good Pickup Point: Drivers prefer a pickup spot that is easy to reach and is not in a crowded, narrow alley of the old Medina. Meeting them just outside the city walls or at a main square will get you a quicker acceptance.
