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 South Africans it usually shows up as the top end of a north-to-south route, often bolted onto a European stopover.
The logistics deserve a look. 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 highway most people picture.
Every booking is private, so the shape of the day belongs to you: the cape and the caves before lunch, the kasbah after, and then either a ferry back 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
- Sitting 40 km from town, Tanger Med makes a ferry arrival worth planning
- Getting to Chefchaouen is mountain driving from start to finish
- Medina and kasbah are walked; vehicles hardly get in at all
- Day crossings from Spain run to a timetable you plan in reverse
- Cap Spartel and the Caves of Hercules are both out of town
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 South African site
- Ferry timing coordination for same-day returns to Spain
- Bottled water and phone charging in the vehicle
