✈ How to get from Rabat Airport to Casablanca

Casablanca, Morocco’s chief port and commercial hub, is located approximately 104 kilometers from Rabat–Salé Airport (RBA). When planning your trip from Rabat Airport to Casablanca, there are three main transportation options to choose from.

You can either take a shared local Rabat Airport taxi or a private transfer, or a combined bus and train journey. A taxi or private Rabat Airport transfer is the fastest choice, providing a direct and door-to-door service that doesn’t require navigating the local public transport network.

Local taxis are available 24/7 from the airport taxi rank, or you can pre-book a personalized private transfer to save time, with the benefit of an English-speaking driver. In any case, the trip takes 1 hour and 25 minutes.

The most economical option is to take the train, but this is also the slowest and least straightforward way to travel, suitable for more experienced travelers with light luggage. The indirect trip takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes, not including wait times.

Whether you need to get from Rabat Airport to Casablanca Airport or the city center, you have multiple good options.

Where can I find a taxi at Rabat Airport?

Rabat Airport taxis are available 24/7 from outside the airport terminal. Petit taxis, which are smaller and can accommodate up to three passengers, operate between Rabat Airport and the city center, whereas Grand taxis, which have a capacity for six passengers, will either be stationed at the regular taxi stand, near the carpark, or near the entrance to the airport complex.

Convenience

Using a taxi to get from Rabat Airport to Casablanca is the most convenient option as you’ll reach your accommodation directly and comfortably. Taxi services are available around the clock, meaning you don’t need to keep track of any timetables or worry about flight delays.

For an even smoother service, you can pre-book your Rabat Airport transfer and save time by skipping the line at the taxi rank.

Editor’s Note

Since the taxi is shared and the fare is calculated per passenger, taking a taxi to reach Casablanca is a good value-for-money option even for solo travelers, as you won't need to pay for the entire vehicle.

Useful Tips

Many taxi drivers in Rabat don't speak English; write down any important information in Arabic or French.

Be sure to carry cash on you in a variety of notes as payment by card is usually not possible.

Tipping your taxi driver is customary in Rabat; 10% of the total fare is sufficient for good service.

Rabat Airport taxis are shared; if you prefer a private ride you can pay the fare for the entire vehicle or book with a private transfer provider ahead of time.

Getting from Rabat Airport to Casablanca by train and bus

Another option to get from Rabat Airport to Casablanca is to take the train. However, since there isn’t a direct train service, you’ll first need to take the bus from Rabat Airport to the city center, which stops at Gare Rabat Ville, the city’s main train station.

From Gare Rabat Ville, you can board the train to Casablanca; a direct service from Rabat to Casablanca takes around 1 hour, stopping at Casa Port Station near the Old City.

The total trip takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes, depending on which train line you choose, not accounting for potential wait times between transfers.

How much does it cost to travel by bus and train from Rabat to Casablanca?

Bus line AE departs from Rabat Airport every 60-90 minutes from 07:10 to 22:50 daily, and the train from Rabat to Casablanca departs every 30-60 minutes from 06:30 until 21:42.

Where do I take the bus and train from?

The bus stop for the AE line can be found right in front of the Arrivals Terminal, between the taxi rank and the parking lot. Once you reach Gare Rabat Ville, you’ll need to locate the platform that your train departs from; make sure to check the information written on your ticket.

Convenience

If you’re feeling adventurous, using the train to get from Rabat to Casablanca can be a fun and interesting experience, but it’s not the most convenient option. Although the travel time is only slightly longer than a taxi or private transfer, it requires a transfer through the city center, and you may need to walk or find additional transportation to reach your accommodation once you arrive at Casa Port Station.

If you prefer to be dropped off directly at your destination, it’s best to pre-book a private transfer with Welcome so that you can avoid any wait times on arrival.

Editor’s Note

Taking the train is a good option for solo passengers who wish to explore the country like a local and meet other travelers along the way. For larger groups with young children or multiple pieces of luggage, taking a taxi will ensure a much more comfortable and less challenging experience.

Useful Tips

Children up to the age of 6 can use the airport bus free of charge.

You can purchase your bus ticket onboard or from the ticket office at the airport.

On the train, you may need to store your luggage in a designated area far from your allocated seat.
