Essaouira Airport to Casablanca, the comfortable way.
The Essaouira Airport–Casablanca transfer covers 390 km in about 4h45. It links the Atlantic coast with the Atlantic plain by way of Safi and El Jadida, and it is priced per vehicle from €210, so a family or group pays the same as one traveller.
Who makes the Essaouira Airport to Casablanca trip
Almost everyone booking this leg has just landed at Essaouira Airport. ESU arrivals are few and cluster on specific days, so pre-booking a car matters more here than at a busy hub. Casablanca is the destination because most visitors come for business, a stopover to see the Hassan II Mosque, or because their international flight lands at Mohammed V. After a flight, 4h45 is a long time to spend in a car, so it pays to pick the roomier vehicle class and ask the driver to stop once or twice — the fare does not change.
The road from Essaouira Airport to Casablanca
Mogador Airport is 17 km south-east of the town, just off the road towards Agadir. North of Essaouira the road crosses the Had Draa farmland and then follows the coast past Souiria Kdima's beach into Safi. Between Safi and El Jadida the R301 follows the coast past salt pans, market gardens and the Oualidia lagoon, famous for its oysters. From El Jadida the A1 motorway runs north past Azemmour, where the Oum Er-Rbia river meets the sea, to Casablanca. Good places to break the drive: Souiria Kdima beach, an oyster lunch at Oualidia and the Oualidia lagoon.
Arriving in Casablanca
Casablanca is Morocco's economic capital — a sprawling Art Deco port city, home to the Hassan II Mosque on its seafront and the country's main business district. City traffic is the main variable — the A1 ring and Boulevard d'Anfa jam at rush hour, so add half an hour on weekday evenings.
Before you go
A final practical note on Casablanca: temperate all year; winter is grey and damp more often than it is cold. And when you are ready to move on, Rabat is an hour up the coast, and Marrakech under three hours down the A7. The return leg, Casablanca to Essaouira Airport, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
Private car, coach, grand taxi or train?
The fastest way from Essaouira Airport to Casablanca is a private transfer: about 4 h 45 door to door for a fixed €210 for the whole vehicle. The coach is cheaper per person but adds a transfer at each end and roughly an hour of waiting; a shared grand taxi only leaves once six seats are sold.
| Option | Typical price | Journey time | Door to door | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (Bacharide) | from €210 per vehicle | 4 h 45 | Yes | Fixed fare for the whole car, hotel-door pickup, luggage and child seats included, flight tracked. |
| CTM / Supratours coach | ~€25 per person | 6 h 60 | No | Cheapest option, but fixed departure times, station-to-station, and luggage is charged by the bag. |
| Shared grand taxi | ~€35 per seat | 5 h 30 | No | Leaves only when six seats are sold. No seatbelts in the rear, no boot space for large cases. |
| Self-drive hire car | ~€75 per day + fuel | 4 h 60 | Yes | Flexible, but you handle the mountain passes, city parking and the deposit hold. |
Coach, grand taxi and rail figures are typical published fares and timings for Moroccan operators (CTM, Supratours, ONCF) and vary by season. Only the Bacharide fare is fixed and quoted at booking.
