Private transfer from Casablanca to Safi

A private transfer from Casablanca to Safi covers about 240 km in about 2 h 45 on the motorway, in your own car with an English- or French-speaking driver. You pay one fixed price for the car, from €190, agreed before you travel. The drive from Safi back to Casablanca costs the same, and so does the pickup at Mohammed V airport.

Safi is well served by coach, and for one or two people the coach costs less. The car is for when you land at the airport, travel as a family or a group, carry a lot of luggage, or want to take the coast road through Oualidia instead of the motorway.

Prices per car

The price is for the car, not for each person. It includes the driver, the fuel and the motorway tolls, and it is the same by day or by night. For eight to 17 people we arrange a Mercedes Sprinter minibus, and a coach for larger groups, price on request.

Car, coach or train?

Coach times and fares are the ones sold on CTM's booking site, read on 9 November 2026 for Thursday 19 November and Thursday 17 December. They can change.

The CTM coach. On 19 November, CTM sold about ten departures from its main station on Avenue des FAR, from 07:30 to 19:15, most of them calling at Maarif about 30 minutes later. The fastest take about 3 h 30, the slower ones up to 4 h 45 with stops on the way. The fare was 115 MAD on almost all of them. A few morning coaches did not run on 17 December.

The Supratours coach. One a day from the coach stop at Casa‑Voyageurs station, at 10:00, in 4 h 30 to 4 h 45, for 115 MAD.

The train. Travel guides say there is no direct train from Casablanca to Safi: you change on the way. We could not read ONCF's timetable this week, so check it with ONCF before you plan around it.

A rental car. The motorway is easy driving, and the coast road is quiet. A one-way rental usually costs extra, so ask the company before you book.

For one or two people travelling light from the city centre, take the coach. The car is worth its price when:

• you are three or more: the price is shared, and the car comes to your door at both ends;
• you land at Mohammed V airport: no coach starts there;
• you want the coast road through Oualidia, which the fast coaches do not take;
• you travel with children, since child seats are free on request.

From Mohammed V airport to Safi

Mohammed V airport is about 253 km from Safi, about 2 h 50 by car, and the price is the same as from Casablanca. Add your flight number when you book: we follow the flight, and your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign. If you land late, the driver waits and nothing is added.

The coast road by Oualidia

From El Jadida, a smaller road follows the ocean south through Oualidia and its lagoon. Going that way is about 276 km and about 3 h 35, so about 55 minutes more than the motorway. It is the drive to choose if you have the morning: the lagoon at Oualidia is a good place for lunch, and the town is known for its oysters.

Short stops for a coffee or a photo are part of the drive: ask for them when you book. A visit or a long lunch makes the day longer, so plan it with us. A visit is added to the price, depending on the visit, and entry tickets and meals are yours to pay. Staying in Oualidia instead? See our Casablanca to Oualidia transfer.

Arriving in Safi

Safi is a port city of about 347,000 people on the Atlantic, south of El Jadida. The Portuguese held it from 1488 to 1541, and two of their forts still stand: Ksar el-Bahr, the Sea Castle, on the shore, and the Kechla above the medina.

The city is known for two trades. Its potters work in hundreds of workshops, a tradition the potter Boujemâa Lamali helped shape when he founded a pottery school there in the early 20th century. And its port, with Agadir and Laayoune, produces most of Morocco's canned sardines.

Your driver takes you to your hotel, your family's address or the potters' quarter. Give us the address when you book.

Safi to Casablanca

The drive back costs the same and takes the same time. Choose "Safi → Casablanca" at the top of the form, and give the address or the flight you are going to.

By coach, CTM left Safi about ten times a day on the dates we checked, from 06:15 to 19:45, in 3 h 10 to 4 h 45, for 115 MAD. Catching a flight at Mohammed V? Tell us the time, and we plan the pickup with a margin.

• Essaouira is further down the coast. See our Casablanca to Essaouira transfer if you are going straight there.
• Back north, Oualidia is about 67 km away, about an hour.
