Where is the Tangier Airport taxi stand?
There’s a dedicated Tangier Airport taxi stand located just outside of the Arrivals Hall. After collecting your luggage, you will walk through the main exit doors and will see the line of ‘grand taxis’ waiting to pick up passengers. The rank is open 24 hours a day, but as the type of taxi that can service the airport is limited, you may have up to a 15-minute wait for an available taxi during peak travel times. Once you get into your taxi, you may also have to wait for other passengers to fill the rest of the seats before your driver will leave.
To avoid these frustrating wait times, you can take a completely private ride with a guaranteed on-time pickup by booking your Tangier Airport taxi service with a private company like Welcome Pickups.
