CMN
Mohammed V International Airport
Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) is Morocco’s busiest gateway and, for many visitors, the first taste of the country. It sits well outside Casablanca itself, so arriving without a pre-booked transfer usually means either a long taxi negotiation or a slow train connection with luggage. A private transfer from Mohammed V Airport means your driver is waiting the moment you clear customs, whatever time your flight lands.

About Mohammed V International Airport
Mohammed V Airport has two terminals: Terminal 1 handles the majority of international and domestic flights, while Terminal 2 is used seasonally for charter and overflow traffic. Both terminals feed the same arrivals road, so your driver can meet you at either one.

Service details
Meet & greet at arrivals
Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall holding a name board with your name clearly printed, right where passengers exit customs — you will not be asked to find a car park or a pickup zone outside the terminal.
Live flight monitoring
We track your flight number from departure to landing. If your flight is delayed, re-routed or arrives early, your pickup time adjusts automatically — you never need to call and explain a schedule change.
Waiting time policy
International arrivals include 60 minutes of free waiting time after landing to clear immigration, baggage and customs; domestic arrivals include 30 minutes. This is tracked from your actual landing time, not your scheduled time.
Child & infant seats
Rear-facing infant seats, forward-facing child seats and booster seats are all available on request at no extra charge — just tell us your children’s ages when you book.
Accessibility
Tell us in advance about any mobility needs, wheelchairs or additional assistance required, and we will match you with a suitable vehicle and a driver briefed to help at the curb and with luggage.
Hotel & riad pickup
Return transfers are collected directly from your riad or hotel lobby. Medina addresses without car access are met at the nearest reachable point, and your driver calls ahead to arrange the last few hundred metres on foot if needed.
Hotel & riad drop-off
On arrival, your driver takes you to your accommodation’s door wherever a vehicle can reach it. For riads deep inside a pedestrian medina, we coordinate with the property so a porter or staff member meets you at the nearest access point.
Business travel
Punctual, professional transfers for conferences and meetings, with flight tracking that protects tight schedules, invoicing on request, and drivers who keep the journey quiet and distraction-free when you need to work.
Family travel
Spacious vehicles, free child seats, and drivers experienced with young children and tired travellers after a long flight — we build in a little extra time so nobody feels rushed.
Luxury transfers
Premium vehicles, a uniformed driver, chilled water on board and a meet-and-greet experience designed for travellers who want their trip to feel elevated from the very first minute.
Safety on every journey
All vehicles are regularly inspected and maintained, drivers follow speed and rest guidelines on longer routes, and every booking is tracked internally from pickup to drop-off.
Licensed, experienced drivers
Every driver holds a professional Moroccan driving licence, is vetted before joining our team, and is experienced with airport pickups, city traffic and, where relevant, mountain or desert roads.
Commercial passenger insurance
All transfers are covered by commercial passenger liability insurance, on top of standard vehicle insurance — the coverage a private, unlicensed taxi typically will not offer.
Flexible cancellation
Cancel or reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before pickup. Changes inside 24 hours are handled case by case — message us as soon as your plans change and we will do what we can to accommodate it.
Payment methods
Pay in cash (Moroccan dirham or euros) directly to your driver, or settle by secure bank transfer or card online in advance — whichever is easiest for you.
Languages spoken
Our drivers and support team communicate comfortably in English, French and Arabic, with Spanish available on request for some drivers.
Share your details
Send your flight number, arrival date and passenger count via WhatsApp or the booking form.
Get instant confirmation
We confirm your driver, vehicle and pickup point, usually within a few hours.
Meet your driver
Your driver waits at arrivals with a name board, tracking your flight in real time.
Travel in comfort
Sit back for the private, door-to-door drive to your riad or hotel.
Local tips for Casablanca Airport
- Casablanca’s traffic is heaviest on weekday mornings and early evenings — if your schedule is flexible, a mid-afternoon transfer is usually the fastest.
- The airport road (A5 motorway) is a toll road; this is already included in a fixed-price private transfer, unlike a metered taxi.
- If your flight lands late at night, a pre-booked transfer avoids negotiating with the smaller number of taxis still working the rank.
- Casablanca is often used as a one-night stopover before continuing to Marrakech or Fes — ask about combining your airport transfer with an intercity transfer to save a return trip to CMN.
Best time to travel
Casablanca is pleasant year-round thanks to its Atlantic coastal position, with mild winters (12–18°C) and warm, rarely extreme summers (22–28°C). Airport traffic is the main seasonal factor to plan around rather than weather — avoid scheduling arrivals during Ramadan’s pre-iftar rush hour if possible, when roads into the city get busy in the late afternoon.
Casablanca Airport travel guide
After landing, follow signs to passport control and baggage reclaim in the terminal you arrived at. Your driver will be waiting just past the customs exit in the public arrivals area holding a name board.
For departures, allow at least 3 hours before an international flight given Mohammed V’s size and typical security queues at peak times.
Currency exchange counters and ATMs are available in the arrivals hall of both terminals — dirhams cannot be obtained outside Morocco, so withdraw or exchange what you need here or in the city.
Maroc Telecom, Orange and inwi all operate kiosks in the arrivals area selling tourist SIM cards with data packages, useful for navigation and messaging your driver.
Short and long-stay car parks are available directly outside both terminals for anyone being collected by a private vehicle.
Free WiFi is available throughout the terminal buildings.
All major international and local car rental desks are located in the arrivals hall.
A direct train line (the "Al Bidaoui" shuttle) connects the airport to Casablanca Voyageurs station, with onward connections to Rabat and beyond — a budget option, though slower and less convenient with luggage than a private transfer.
