Is There Uber at Casablanca Airport?

No, there is no Uber at Casablanca airport. Uber suspended its operations in Morocco in 2018 and has never returned, so the app will not find you a car at Mohammed V Airport (CMN) or anywhere else in the country. Your real options from the airport are the official taxi rank, the ONCF train, or a pre-booked private transfer with a fixed price.

That is the short answer. Here is what actually happens if you open a ride-hailing app at CMN, and what to do instead.

Why Uber does not work in Morocco

Uber launched in Casablanca in 2015 but pulled out three years later after ongoing conflict with the licensed taxi sector and an unclear legal framework for ride-hailing. Nothing has changed since. In 2026 the app still shows no available drivers in Morocco.

Some travellers land expecting Uber to work the way it does in Paris or Dubai, then find themselves standing in arrivals with a phone that cannot summon anything. It is worth knowing this before you fly, not after.

What about inDrive and other apps?

Apps like inDrive do operate inside Casablanca and other Moroccan cities, and locals use them for everyday trips. The airport is a different story.

Drivers on these apps are private individuals without airport pickup licences. Picking up at the terminal puts them in direct conflict with the official taxi rank, and confrontations do happen. In practice, many drivers cancel airport requests outright, and others ask you to walk to the car park or a road outside the terminal perimeter — awkward with luggage, and far from guaranteed to work. As a way to leave CMN, app-based rides are unreliable. As a way to get around the city once you are settled in, they are fine.

Your real options from Casablanca airport

1. Official airport taxis

The white grand taxis wait at a rank directly outside the arrivals hall. A trip to central Casablanca costs roughly 250 to 350 MAD during the day, and prices rise by about 50% after 20:00. There is no meter for airport runs, so agree the price clearly before your bags go in the boot. If you are comfortable negotiating after a long flight, taxis are a workable option — just expect the opening price to be optimistic.

2. The ONCF train

The train is the budget choice: about 42 MAD in second class to Casa Voyageurs, the main station, with departures roughly every hour. The ride takes 35 to 45 minutes. The catch is that it is station-to-station. From Casa Voyageurs you still need a taxi to your hotel, and you will be carrying your own luggage on stairs and platforms. We compare all three options in detail in our train vs taxi vs private transfer guide.

3. Pre-booked private transfer

This is the closest thing Morocco has to the Uber experience — except the price is agreed before you fly, not surged after you land. You book in advance, your driver tracks your flight and waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign, and you are driven door-to-door to your hotel. With CasaShuttle, the Casablanca airport transfer to the city centre is a fixed 400 MAD, day or night, in a Mercedes with no negotiation and no surcharge.

So what should you do?

If you are travelling light on a tight budget and arriving in daytime, take the train and grab a taxi at Casa Voyageurs. If you enjoy a bit of negotiation and do not mind variable pricing, the taxi rank works. If you want the Uber-style certainty of a car waiting for you — driver’s name on your phone, price locked in, no queue — book a private transfer before you fly. Arriving on a late flight makes this an easier call: taxis charge the night surcharge after 20:00, while a pre-booked transfer costs the same at 3 a.m. as at 3 p.m. See our full fixed transfer prices for Casablanca and beyond.

Booking with CasaShuttle takes a two-minute WhatsApp message: send your flight number, date and hotel, and we confirm your fixed price and driver. If your flight is delayed, we track it and adjust the pickup at no extra cost.

The bottom line: do not plan your CMN arrival around Uber, because it is not there. Plan around the three options that actually exist — and if certainty matters more to you than saving a few dirhams, book your Casablanca airport transfer before you take off.

Frequently asked questions

Is Uber available in Morocco?

No. Uber suspended its operations in Morocco in 2018 and has not returned. The app may open, but you will not find drivers in Casablanca, Marrakech or anywhere else in the country.

Can I use inDrive at Casablanca airport?

inDrive works in Casablanca city, but drivers face restrictions picking up at the airport because of conflicts with licensed taxis. Many cancel airport requests or ask you to walk away from the terminal, so it is not a reliable way to leave CMN.

Expect around 250 to 350 MAD to the city centre during the day, with roughly a 50% surcharge after 20:00. Agree on the price before getting in, as airport taxis rarely use a meter.

What is the cheapest way from CMN to the city?

The ONCF train, at about 42 MAD second class to Casa Voyageurs station. It is station-to-station though, so you still need a taxi from the station to your hotel.
