Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!
Each passenger is allowed one large bag (29" x 21" x 11" / 74 x 53 x 28 cm) and one small bag (22" x 14" x 9" / 56 x 36 x 23 cm). Luxury sedans can only accommodate 2 large bags. We always send the vehicle that is the best fit for you and your luggage, so make sure to select the actual amount of luggage you are traveling with when booking. If you have oversized luggage, or are unsure if your luggage will fit, contact us.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
The drive from Tangier to Casablanca is less of a transfer and more of an experience. This route includes 3 hours and 40 minutes of driving time and 210 miles (339 km) of the Moroccan coast to explore. From Tangier, you’ll head southwest along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, passing ancient cities like Asilah, Sale, and Rabat, before reaching Casablanca.
Casablanca may be the largest city, but Morocco’s capital is Rabat, a smaller city on the coast.
Rabat’s Kasbah of the Udayas is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with narrow, winding streets lined with blue and white houses. Against the backdrop of the blue and white sky, this is a sight you won’t easily forget. Once-in-a-lifetime detours like these are easy to add to your Daytrip itinerary, so don’t miss out!
About Casablanca
As you make your way down the coast from Tangier to Casablanca, you’ll notice the antiquated old-world charm gives way to a modern metropolis. Casablanca is Morocco’s largest city and the economic hub of the country. It is on the northern Atlantic coast and home to more than three million people.
Casablanca: Morocco’s melting pot
Casablanca reflects a mix of the regions of Morocco as well as the country’s international influences under Portuguese and French colonization. One clear example of this is in Casablanca’s cuisine, which mixes elements from home and abroad. The markets are full of fresh fish, oysters, and crabs, but as people immigrate from all over Morocco, they’ve mixed inland cuisine with a coastal twist. While in Casablanca, order a Moroccan seafood dish or venture into a restaurant serving fusions of French and Sub-Saharan cuisine.
Casablanca: Hollywood’s sweetheart
Morocco remains an underrated travel destination, but Casablanca entered the international zeitgeist during World War II. While under French colonization, Casablanca hosted meetings of top leaders of the Allied forces and fueled international interest in North Africa.
Popular films Casablanca (1942) and A Night in Casablanca (1946) captured the imaginations of the masses with a romanticized view of life in Morocco in the 1940s. These films portrayed Casablanca as an exotic and mysterious locale at a time when Hollywood was heavily involved in war propaganda. Your Moroccan vacation is the perfect opportunity to separate fact from fiction and see an authentic version of Casablanca.
From Tangier to Casablanca: travel tips
Jot these handy travel tips down for maximum confidence after your Tangier to Casablanca transfer!
Learn Casablanca’s taxi code
Once you arrive in Casablanca, getting around town is easiest with local taxis. The public transit options available are limited and not convenient for reaching popular destinations unless your hotel is directly on the bus routes.
If you hire a white taxi, it is private and only for you and your travel companions. Red taxis are more like ride-share cars and may pick up other passengers heading in the same direction.
Arrive early to the Casablanca airport
If you plan on flying out of the Casablanca Airport, allow yourself plenty of time to go through the airport security. This airport has extra security measures. Before even entering the building your bags and passport will be checked. They will be checked again in the standard security line after checking in for your flight.

Things to do when you get to Casablanca
Your road trip from Tangier to Casablanca was just the beginning! Explore the best that Casablanca has to offer at these main points of interest:
The Hassan II Mosque
The construction of the Hassan II Mosque was completed in 1993 and it is one of the largest mosques in the world. Its minaret is the tallest in the world, standing at 689 feet (210 meters). With a backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, the mosque’s sand-colored walls and turquoise-green mosaics make for a dramatic religious experience.
In between prayer times, non-Muslims are welcome to tour the mosque, so long as they are dressed appropriately. Women are not required to cover their hair, however everyone needs to be covered from their knees to the elbows. Some sections of the mosque do not allow shoes, so wear easy-to-remove shoes and bring socks.
After touring the Hassan II Mosque, take a walk along the seaside promenade and admire it from a distance against the Atlantic Ocean.
Rick’s Cafe
Experience a taste of that Hollywood glamor at Rick’s Cafe, even if it’s all a facade! Casablanca became an instant classic when it was released in 1942, although it was filmed entirely in California. What could be more Hollywood than having a fun, instagram-able moment in this real cafe set up as a replica of the original film set?
Casablanca’s Old Medina and Jewish quarter
Amid the modern allure of Casablanca lies odes to the traditional Moroccan lifestyle. Wander the narrow streets and markets in Casablanca's Old Medina for traditional shops selling handmade gifts, spices, and fabric.
The Old Medina also has a historic Jewish Quarter, called the Mellah. Here, you can visit synagogues and discover traditional Jewish shops and cuisine.
When is the best time to visit Casablanca
Any trip to Morocco should be planned for the spring or autumn. During these seasons, the average temperature is around 77° F (25° C), and the breeze off of the ocean is relaxing and inviting. You’ll have the long and sunny days you’d expect in summer for your trip from Tangier to Casablanca without risking heat exhaustion.
A visit to Morocco in July and August should be avoided, as it regularly sees temperatures of 96° F (36° C) and a very high UV index.
关于从 Tangier 到 Casablanca 旅行的问答
Go see for yourself! Morocco is a diverse and surprising country with an underrated travel sector. Both Tangier and Casablanca are coastal cities that provide exciting opportunities to uncover Moroccan culture. Casablanca is three times larger than Tangier with more of a modern style, while Tangier remains more traditional.
Given Casablanca is Morocco’s largest city, credit cards are more widely accepted there than in Tangier. However, having cash on hand is recommended as smaller shops and restaurants often do not accept credit cards. Expect an added credit card fee as well in some cases.
Hire a private driver through Daytrip for a simple door-to-door experience. If negotiating long-distance taxis on the spot or coordinating rides to and from the train station is overwhelming, let Daytrip handle the logistics of your intercity travel in Morocco.
The train ride takes 2 hours and 10 minutes. ONCF has new high-speed train routes from Tangier to Casablanca that leave 14 times per day. Tickets can be bought at the station and range from $35 to $50 per passenger.
ONCF’s high-speed trains are the fastest way to cover the distance from Tangier to Casablanca. With a travel time of 2 hours and 10 minutes, this commute is very fast but does not allow for exploration of Morocco’s other cities, like Sale and Rabat.
Choose from hiring a private driver for a customized and flexible trip down the Atlantic coast of Morocco or taking ONCF’s high-speed train for this trip. The train ride is faster, but hiring a driver turns a regular transfer into an unforgettable road trip.

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”
“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”
“Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.”
“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”
