Casablanca handles most of Morocco's intercontinental traffic, so if you have flown from Australia through Doha, Dubai or Istanbul, this is very likely where you land. Mohammed V sits 30 km outside the city, which means clearing immigration after a twenty-hour journey and then facing a real drive before you see a hotel.
The city is Morocco at its most modern and least touristic - a working port, a financial district, wide boulevards and traffic that behaves like any large business capital rather than like Marrakech. It is also the least intuitive place in the country to drive. Lane markings are treated as advisory on the main boulevards, the port and rail approaches clog for most of the day, and downtown parking is scarce enough that hotels quietly steer guests away from a car.
For business travellers the argument is simpler again. A driver who waits between appointments, knows which approach to Sidi Maarouf works at four o'clock and gets you back to CMN with margin is worth more than the vehicle. Every booking is private, the rate is fixed in advance, and fuel, tolls and the driver are included.
