Taxis & Rideshare in Tangier (2026) - Grab, Uber & More

Tangier's street-hail taxis come in two clear types: the small, red "petit taxis" that stay within the city limits and the larger, beige "grand taxis" that can take you to outlying towns or the airport. To use either, simply stand at any busy curb, hotel entrance, or souk gate and raise your hand. Drivers usually stop within seconds. Petit taxis are metered in theory. But the device is often "broken," so agree on a rough fare before you get in, gesturing to the meter or showing your destination on a map usually prompts the driver to switch it on or name a price. Grand taxis operate from fixed ranks (look for clusters of beige Mercedes near the port, CTM bus station, and major hotels); you can hire the whole car or wait until the driver fills all six seats. For comfort and luggage space, many travelers prefer to reserve the entire vehicle in advance through their hotel concierge. Rideshare apps do not operate in Tangier, so the only app-based alternative is to pre-book a private transfer through the booking widget below. This option is useful when you want a guaranteed English-speaking driver, child seats, or late-night pickup from the ferry terminal or Ibn Battouta Airport. In practice, most visitors mix the two: use petit taxis for short hops inside the medina or to the beach, and switch to grand taxis or pre-booked transfers for longer runs such as the 15 km ride to Cap Spartel or the 100 km journey to Chefchaouen.
