Private driver from Casablanca to Fès

A private driver from Casablanca to Fès (Fez) covers the 295 km in about 3 h 30, door to door, in your own car with an English-speaking driver. You pay one fixed price for the car, from €180, agreed before you travel. The drive from Fès back to Casablanca costs the same.

The road passes Rabat and Meknès, so the drive can also be a day of visits, with a detour to the Roman ruins of Volubilis if you like. From Mohammed V airport, Fès is about 315 km, about 3 h 45.

Prices per car

The price is for the car, not for each person. Four friends in the Tourneo share €205, about a quarter of that each, and a couple in the Superb pays €180 for the two of them. For eight people or more, we send two cars.

The return trip is the same drive the other way, on the day you choose. Tick "Add the return trip" in the form to book both at once.

Private driver or train?

There is no high-speed train to Fès. Al Boraq runs only between Casablanca, Rabat, Kenitra and Tangier, so the train to Fès is the regular Al Atlas line: about four hours from Casa‑Voyageurs.

Train fares and times are ONCF's for October 2026: 2nd class, flexible ticket, 18 direct trains a day. Booked weeks ahead, a ticket you cannot change or refund can cost about 50 MAD. The coach fares are CTM's, from its booking site on the same day; the grand taxi fares come from travel guides.

For one or two people travelling light from central Casablanca, the train is the cheaper choice. The car is worth its price when:

• you land at Mohammed V: by train you change at Casa‑Voyageurs and spend about 5 h 30 on the way, against about 3 h 45 by car;
• you are three or more, or travel with luggage or children: the price is per car, so it is shared;
• you are staying in the medina: the train stops at Fès station, and you still need a taxi to the gate, while the car takes you to the gate nearest your riad;
• you want to see Rabat, Meknès or Volubilis on the way.

Royal Air Maroc also flies from Mohammed V to Fès‑Saïss, usually once a day, in about 1 h 10. It suits a connection from an international flight more than a trip from the city.

From Mohammed V airport to Fès

Mohammed V airport is south of Casablanca. By car you skip the city: the road goes round it and north to Rabat, about 315 km to Fès, about 3 h 45.

Add your flight number when you book. We follow the flight, and if it lands late we wait, with nothing added to the price. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign and takes the bags to the car. We confirm the price from the airport on WhatsApp when you book.

By train you would change at Casa‑Voyageurs: about 5 h 30 from the airport to Fès, including a wait of about 50 minutes, for 225 MAD in 2nd class (October 2026). The last connection leaves the airport around 19:00 and reaches Fès just after midnight.

Stops on the way: Rabat, Meknès, Volubilis

Short stops for a coffee or a photo are part of the drive: ask for them when you book. A visit makes the day longer, so plan it with us.

Rabat is on the way, about 1 h 15 from Casablanca. The Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V stand side by side; allow an hour for both, or walk up to the Kasbah of the Udayas above the river mouth.

Meknès is next to the motorway, about an hour before Fès. Its old town, the city of Sultan Moulay Ismail, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996, and driving in to see the Bab Mansour gate adds about 20 minutes, plus your visit.

Volubilis is further off the road: the ruins of a Roman town about 30 km north of Meknès, on UNESCO's list since 1997. The detour adds about 1 h 30 of driving, and the visit usually takes 1 to 2 hours. The hill town of Moulay Idriss is a few minutes away.

With a visit of Volubilis, leave Casablanca in the morning to reach Fès before dark. Tell us the stops you want when you book, and we confirm the plan and the price on WhatsApp.

Arriving in Fès

Fès has a new town, built in the 20th century, with wide streets: there we drive to the door of your hotel. The medina, Fès el-Bali, is a maze of lanes where cars cannot go. Give us the name of your riad and we tell you the nearest gate before the day, Bab Boujloud, Bab Guissa or another; many riads send someone to meet you there and carry the bags.

Going on from Fès? Chefchaouen is about 200 km north, about 4 h by road, and the Sahara at Merzouga about 460 km south-east through Ifrane and Midelt. Our tours from Casablanca take in both, with the same driver from start to finish.

Fès to Casablanca, or to the airport for a flight

The drive back costs the same. Choose "Fès → Casablanca" at the top of the form, and give the address in Casablanca where you are going.

Flying out of Mohammed V? Count about 3 h 45 from Fès to the departures hall, then add the time your airline asks you to be at the airport. We agree the pickup time with you when we confirm the booking.
