Going directly to the taxi stand can result in some language barriers. You should also be on the lookout for drivers who don’t want to turn on the meter. Be sure to negotiate a price with them before stepping into the vehicle.

Where to get a Marrakech Airport taxi?

The Moroccan Airports Authority (ONDA) recently established a ticket counter dedicated to pre-ordering and booking taxis via a computer system. Upon arrival and picking up your luggage, look for signs that will direct you to the counter. Here, you can order a taxi and prepay the fare by card or cash. You can also go directly to the taxi stand that is outside the arrivals building. Be aware, however, that haggling the price is customary, which can be something of a challenge with the language barrier. Beware of drivers who don’t want to turn on the meter. Be sure to negotiate a price with them before stepping into the vehicle.
