Tangier has been remade faster than any other Moroccan city this century. The commercial port moved out to Tanger Med, the corniche was rebuilt, and a high-speed line now reaches Casablanca in a shade over two hours. For New Zealanders it usually turns up at one end of the trip, often bolted onto a European leg of the same long journey.
The logistics deserve attention. Tanger Med sits 40 km east of the city, so a ferry arrival is not a walk into the medina. The airport is 15 km south-west. The old town is small by Moroccan standards but still closed to vehicles, and the Rif roads south towards Chefchaouen are proper mountain driving rather than the motorway most people picture.
Every booking is private, so the shape of the day is yours: the cape and the caves before lunch, the kasbah after, then either a crossing to Spain or the road south. The rate is fixed before you travel and covers fuel, tolls and the driver.
Why hire a driver here
- Tanger Med lies 40 km from the city, so arrivals want planning
- Chefchaouen means mountain driving the whole way, not motorway
- Medina and kasbah are walking territory with almost no vehicle access
- Day crossings from Spain run to a schedule that must be worked backwards
- Cap Spartel and the Caves of Hercules lie right outside the city
Included in every booking
- Fuel, tolls and the driver's fee for the agreed route
- Airport, ferry port, hotel or Tanger Ville station pickup
- English-speaking drivers as standard on the New Zealand site
- Ferry timing coordination for same-day returns to Spain
- Bottled water and phone charging in the vehicle
