Taxi
Marrakesh airport can get quite busy so sometimes you will have to queue for a taxi when you depart from the arrivals terminal. There are a number of parked taxi cabs waiting for passengers. Also if you walk a little further, to cross a parking lot you will find more taxi cabs looking for business. It is highly recommended that you negotiate the price with the taxi driver before you get in because some will try to charge you exorbitant fees once you get there.
General Route: In moderate traffic, a taxi trip from the Marrakech Menara airport shouldn’t take more than 12 minutes. After your driver leaves the airport buildings, he will turn right into Prince Moulay Rachid from Menara Avenue. When your driver reaches the Menara shopping centre, he will turn left onto Mohamed VI Boulevard and proceed north until he reaches the Marrakech central area.
Marrakech Airport Opens a Taxi Booking Counter
Recently opened at RAK airport is the facility of a ticket counter using a cutting edge computer system, allowing passengers to book a taxi before they leave the airport.
Passengers desiring to be taken by taxi are directed by suitable signage to the counter after collecting their bags to hire a taxi and prepay the fare by card or cash.
This prevents being charged more than the standard fare and secures a price through the booking programme. The taxi fare, which is jointly determined by local administrations and ONDA, is given in advance and is set based on the destination.
It is planned that this service will be rolled out online, allowing passengers to pre-book a taxi even from their home country.
