Tangier has changed faster than any other Moroccan city this century. The commercial port moved out of town to Tanger Med, the corniche was rebuilt, and a high-speed rail line now reaches Casablanca in a little over two hours. For Australians it usually turns up as the start of a north-to-south route, often tacked onto a European leg.
The logistics deserve attention. Tanger Med sits 40 km east of the city, so a ferry arrival is not a walk into town. The airport is 15 km south-west. The medina is small by Moroccan standards but still closed to vehicles, and the Rif roads south towards Chefchaouen are mountain roads with real switchbacks rather than the highway most people picture.
Every booking is private, so the day is yours: the cape and the caves before lunch, the afternoon in the kasbah, and either a ferry back to Spain or the road south. The rate is fixed in advance and covers fuel, tolls and the driver.
Why hire a driver here
- Tanger Med ferry port is 40 km from the city - arrivals need a plan
- The Rif road to Chefchaouen is mountain driving, not highway driving
- The medina and kasbah are pedestrian, with limited vehicle access
- Ferry day trips from Spain run to a tight schedule that must be worked backwards
- Cap Spartel and the Caves of Hercules sit outside the city and are awkward without a car
Included in every booking
- Fuel, tolls and the driver's fee for the agreed route
- Airport, ferry port, hotel or Tanger Ville station pick-up
- English-speaking drivers as standard on the Australian site
- Ferry schedule coordination for same-day returns to Spain
- Bottled water and phone charging in the vehicle
