Official Taxi Fare in Marrakech

I kept getting charged completely different taxi prices in Marrakech, even with the meter ON, so I did some research.

Here is the official taxi rate in Marrakech ↓

• There is a DAY rate and a NIGHT rate (+50% more expensive).

To check if they put the night tariff:
look at the taxi meter. A small red dot/light usually appears at the bottom left corner when the night rate is activated. Sometimes you really have to lean forward to see it from the back seat.

• The meter starts at 1.70 DH.

• During the DAY, the meter increases by 0.24 DH per 100 meters.

• Waiting/slow driving is charged separately at around 0.50 DH per minute.

So if the taxi is moving very slowly and the meter rises unusually fast, now you know why. Some drivers may leave the meter on waiting mode or drive slowly to increase the fare.

• Small taxis can take multiple passengers.

On the top left of the meter, you’ll usually see a number (1, 2, 3, etc.). That shows the passenger count currently active on the meter, so pay attention when entering.

• You can verify the official rates yourself.

There is usually an official tariff sticker on the windshield inside the taxi.

• Airport taxis often follow different pricing practices or negotiated fares.

• InDrive (similar to Uber) and motorcycle taxis are technically illegal in Marrakech/Morocco.

So:
- prices are not regulated,
- drivers choose their own prices,
- but at least with InDrive you see the price upfront before accepting.

Just sharing because I wish someone explained this to me earlier.
