How do I take a petit taxi without being overcharged?

Petit taxis must use the meter. Ask for it as you get in ("compteur, s'il vous plaît"); if the driver won't, agree a price before you go, or wait for the next one. Within Marrakech most rides are 20–50 MAD; at night the fare goes up by about 50%.

Petit taxis take up to three people and may pick up other passengers on the way (gov.uk). Uber relaunched in Casablanca and Marrakech in November 2025, and inDrive and Careem also work, though gov.uk warns that many app cars are unlicensed.

What travellers say goes wrong

"The meter is broken", a flat price two or three times the meter, or a fare quoted in euros.
