Taxis of Morocco

In most cities the drivers use a few fixed tariffs for popular destinations depending on the distance and also time of day (more expensive late at night).

To prevent abuse by drivers of (mainly) foreign tourists some cities require a petit taxi to use a meter.

Petits taxis are small cars such as a Fiat Uno, Peugeot 205 and similar sized models using diesel as fuel.

To allow passengers to carry luggage most cars are equipped with a simple open wooden box on the roof where oversized goods are placed without anything to secure it.

Although this shared use is cheap, it isn't always very comfortable for longer trips in hot summers: 7 people (including driver) are packed in a 1970s to '80s four door Mercedes without air conditioning.

[4][5][6] Since the beginning of 2015, Grand Taxis have notably seen renewed mainly by the Dacia Lodgy, SsangYong Rodius(2nd gen), Mercedes Vito and other 7 seats vans.
