Casablanca handles the bulk of Morocco's intercontinental traffic, so after thirty hours through the Gulf or Europe this is very likely where you land. Mohammed V sits 30 km outside the city, which means clearing immigration thoroughly jetlagged and then facing a real drive before you see a bed.
The city is Morocco at its most modern and least touristic - a working port, a financial district, wide boulevards and traffic behaving like any large commercial capital rather than like Marrakech. Most New Zealand visitors treat it as the gateway rather than the destination and move on the same day, which is usually the right call.
For anyone here on business the calculation runs the other way. 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.
Why hire a driver here
- CMN is 30 km distant, making the transfer a leg rather than a hop
- Offices are spread between the Twin Center, Anfa and Sidi Maarouf
- Parking in the centre is scarce and mostly attendant-managed
- After a thirty-hour journey the last thing you want is a rental counter
- The Hassan II Mosque is the one sight here worth stopping for

- Airport, hotel, port or Casa-Voyageurs station pickup
- English-speaking drivers as standard on the New Zealand site
- Waiting time between meetings at no extra hourly charge
