Essaouira to Marrakesh Destination Reviews

The booking had a picture of a VW bus. Instead we got a small blue taxi without Aircon and very used/damaged. We were unable to have seatbelts on due to lack of it.

The ride from Essaouira to Marrakesh went smoothly and quickly. However, the driver had a hot temper. That’s why I didn’t feel safe, especially in Marrakesh. He also dropped me off in the middle of the medina, claiming there were no roads accessible by car leading to my riad—which was simply untrue, since cars were driving right past me nearby. I had to lug my heavy suitcase around for about 15 minutes in 36°C heat. Not a pleasant experience!

He was a very nice man, tells you great information about Marocco. Stops whenever I wanted to and recommends places to stop, and that made the ride even more enjoyable!

This was the second trip with 12go in Morocco in our week away. The service is 100% spot on. My son forgot some gear in the hotel, but the driver was happy to turn around and wait whilst it was collected. Very calm, professional and most importantly safe. Highly recommended!

The taxi driver did not contact us about the pick up location. Finally we met him at the gate at the entrance of the medina one hour late. The taxi driver did not know how to find the adress of our airB&B in Marrakech and dropped us at a place where we still had to walk 15 minutes to reach the accommodation. We were not happy.

The driver arrived in time and his car was okay. So far so good. But then... we arrived 90 min later than booked. The drive took not 2 but 3,5 hours. The driver smooked during the break, which gave a bad smell in the car. He spoke no English at all. He had no clue where in Marrakech we where going, which seemed strange, as we we gave the name and adress of our hotel during booking to 12Go. He also tried to get us out of the car in Marrakech more than 800 m from our hotel, but I used the Maps app and did not accept it. We specially choose this hotel because we would not have to cross the noisy medina and walk only 300 m with our luggage. He said the road was blocked, which was not true! In the end he dropped us at the right point.

Travelling by taxi essentials

  • To ensure you are picked up when required, book your taxi transfer in advance. It is vital to plan your journeys early if you are going to travel during the busiest periods – high season or just rush hours. Sometimes it will be impossible to book a long ride with the immediate departure – in the best-case scenario you will have to wait for hours, in the worth one – to postpone or cancel your trip.
  • Make sure you have clearly agreed on pick up and drop off locations prior to the trip. If getting to your location requires special instructions – e.g., road closures, non-resident cars are banned from entering your compound, etc. – let the driver know it in advance.
  • If you need to make a detour or are planning any stops during your taxi ride, want to check any tourist attractions or pick up additional passengers in locations other than your pick up point, inform your taxi company beforehand. Extra fees may be charged – or may not, depending on your route, the car type, and the company’s policy. Anyway, it is always better to confirm everything before your trip. If you fail to do so, your driver may not be able to meet your request enroute due to his further schedule – he may be assigned for another trip.
  • Not all the taxi drivers in any country are able to speak English. If you require an English-speaking driver, inform your taxi company about it in advance and get their confirmation. If your trip does not require any additional stops or deviations from the route, you can most probably survive it even with a non-English-speaking driver, can’t you?
  • If you have any other special requirements, e.g. a car seat for your kid or baby, a female driver, no car perfume, etc. require in advance. Additional fees may apply. Do not hesitate to ask your driver to switch off the music or stop talking if you do not feel like chatting – it is totally ok, just do it politely.
  • The majority of cars on offer are non-smoking, yet your driver can be a smoker and smoke outside the car, e.g. during the stops. If it is of importance to you, do not forget to mention ‘a non-smoking driver’ in comments or special requirements section.
  • It is usually prohibited to drink alcohol while in taxi – yes, even if you are just a passenger. The same refers to smelly foods or foods in general. In some Asian countries you will not be allowed to have durians in your luggage, either.
  • It is compulsory to use seat belts for all the passengers in a car no matter whether you occupy a front seat or rear seats. Locate your safety belt and fasten it even if your driver does not insist on it.
  • As a rule, there is a short waiting period included into your taxi rate quoted, especially if you travel from/to the airport or train station. Often it does not exceed 15 or 30 minutes. If longer waiting time is required, you will be charged extra after the trip. Check the rates your company offers before the trip.
