Taxis with marrakech: small or large taxi to move

Any person of passage to Marrakech must know that there exist two types of taxis which circulate in the ochre city with three means of transport:
Small taxis: small cars of beige color circulating within the limits of a ray starting from the centre town of Marrakech. These taxi which cannot take more than 3 people at the same time offer more comfort and the service is personalized. It is enough to indicate to the driver the address of the destination desired to see itself depositing at the point exactly.
Large taxis in collective mode: often of Mercedes of color broken white. The number of people authorized is of Six, but comfort leaves something to be desired. It is enough to imagine two large people installed in front of, beside the driver, to guess the scene. These taxis have the right to circulate as well of centre town as towards the surroundings of Marrakech, but considering the lack of comfort, when they are used in collective mode, it is to better make use of it only for small races in the médina of Marrakech.

Large taxis in private mode: Always of Mercedes of color broken white. Only this time, the driver decides to devote his vehicle to purely tourist transport. In other words, the driver places himself at the disposal of the tourists in front of the principal tourist places of Marrakech, hotels, restaurants, limp, monuments…
That to choose to move in Marrakech
For the tourists, the means of transport in the shared taxi is to be drawn aside. Initially for lack of comfort, then you will not be inevitably deposited exactly at the desired place. Often, it will be necessary to traverse a few meters to arrive at destination.
Remain small the taxi and large the taxis in private mode. In these two cases, comfort is with go.
For the small taxis, it is necessary to require the meter to avoid the unforeseen ones and swindle them. If the driver does not answer favorably and that you do not have the choice, take time to negotiate the race well before starting the way.
For the large taxi in private mode, the driver in general proposes a tariff for a race according to the distance. But in all the cases, it is necessary to get information before concerning the usual tariffs applied towards the destinations more or less far from the centre town. Example Palm plantation, tourist complexes, the Airport…
In manner general, there are no strict rules, all depends on the capacity of each one to negotiate. A small easy way however consists in proposing a price with the driver directly. To say for example “I pay 10DHs for a race towards the Palm plantation?”. it does not go rather badly.
Tariff raised the night of 50%
Yes the races in the taxi are more expensive starting from 20:00 the winter and 21:00 the summer. To count 50% of more than the tariff posted on the meter. If it is a small taxi (max 3 people) the day as the night you must require to him to put its meter.
If it is a large tourist taxi (beyond 3 people) it is the driver who proposes the price of his race. With you to negotiate according to the usual distance and tariffs.
If it is a shared taxi (6 people), you must pay the same amount as all the other passengers. The tariff depends on the distance, generally between 2 and 7 DH.
