Price: From €22 per vehicle (sedan, up to 3 passengers)

What's included: Meet and greet, flight tracking, door-to-door drop, air conditioning, professional driver, free cancellation

2. Petit Taxi — 80-120 MAD

Small red taxis are available outside the terminal. The official daytime fare to the city centre is 80 MAD, but expect to pay 100-120 MAD with luggage or after 8 PM. Always agree on the price before getting in — most petit taxi drivers do not use the meter for airport trips.

Petit taxis seat up to 3 passengers and are best for solo travellers or couples with light luggage. They cannot take large suitcases easily.

3. Grand Taxi — 120-200 MAD

Older Mercedes sedans that seat up to 6 passengers. Located just outside the terminal building. Grand taxis are less regulated than petit taxis, and drivers may quote 200 MAD or more to tourists. Negotiate to 120-150 MAD for the trip to the city centre.

These are a reasonable choice for groups of 4-6 travelling together without booking ahead.

4. Bus (Line 2B) — 6 MAD

The cheapest option. Bus 2B runs from the airport to Place de France in the city centre. Departures are approximately every 60 minutes during daytime. The bus stop is outside the terminal building. Tickets cost around 6 MAD.

This option is only practical for solo travellers with a backpack. Not recommended after dark or with heavy luggage.

Which Option Should You Choose?

If you arrive with luggage, after dark, or simply want peace of mind, the private transfer is the best value. For €22, you avoid any negotiation, waiting, or confusion about the meeting point. Your driver is waiting inside arrivals, and you are at your hotel within 20 minutes.

The petit taxi works if you speak some French or Arabic and are comfortable negotiating. The bus is only viable for minimalist backpackers arriving during daytime.

Tangier City Arrival Tips

  • Book a transfer if you are staying inside the Medina — taxis and buses only reach the edge of the old city
  • The airport has limited ATM access after arrivals — have some cash ready if taking a taxi
  • Most riads do not have parking — drivers know where to stop for luggage drop
  • If your booking includes a transfer, confirm your flight number and arrival time via WhatsApp
