Getting to and from Mohammed V International (CMN)

Casablanca airport sits about 30 km from Casablanca centre, with 3 passenger terminals. CMN is Morocco's main hub and the only airport in the country with a direct rail link into the city. Below is how each option compares.

OptionHow it worksBest for
Private transfer Booked in advance for a fixed price (MAD 120–180 to Casablanca centre, about 30–40 min). Your driver waits in arrivals with a name board and tracks the flight, so a delay costs you nothing. Night arrivals, families, luggage
Taxi Official taxis queue outside arrivals. Fares to the centre are set by tariff rather than metered on airport runs — agree the price before you get in, and confirm whether it is per car or per seat. Short hops, solo travellers
TrainAl-Bidaoui Airport Express to Casa-Voyageurs station, roughly 35–40 minutes. From Casa-Voyageurs, ONCF services connect on to Rabat, Marrakech and Fès.Cheapest option
Car hire The main rental desks are in the arrivals hall. Useful for touring, less so for city stays where parking is tight and the medina is closed to cars. Onward road trips

Parking at Casablanca airport

Car parks sit directly opposite the terminal, split between short-stay bays for pick-ups and drop-offs and long-stay areas for travellers leaving a car for the trip. Take a ticket on entry and pay at the machine in the terminal before returning to your vehicle — the barrier reads the paid ticket on the way out. Tariffs are posted at the entry barrier and rise steeply after the first free minutes, so for a short pick-up it is worth using the drop-off lane.

If you are being collected, a pre-booked transfer avoids airport parking altogether: the driver absorbs the parking charge and meets you inside the terminal.

Arrivals: what to expect

Allow time for passport control, which can be slow when several long-haul flights land together. After baggage reclaim and customs you emerge into the public arrivals hall, where you will find ATMs and bureaux de change, SIM-card counters, car-hire desks and the taxi rank. Draw some dirham before you leave the terminal — Moroccan dirham is a closed currency and drivers and small cafés are cash-first.

Tip: CMN transfers to Casablanca centre are fixed at MAD 120–180 with free cancellation up to 24 hours before pick-up. Check your price →
