Private transfer from Rabat to Chefchaouen

A private transfer from Rabat to Chefchaouen covers about 245 km in about 4 h 15, 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 Chefchaouen back to Rabat costs the same.

There is no train to Chefchaouen, and only one direct coach a day from Rabat. Without a car, you take that coach in the afternoon, or a high-speed train to Tangier and a coach from there. The car picks you up at your door at the time you choose and takes you to the edge of the blue medina.

Prices per car

The price is for the car, not for each person, so three people in the Superb share it, and a family of six with suitcases fits in the Tourneo. 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 and coach?

Coach times and fares are CTM's, read on its booking site on 9 November 2026 for Thursday 19 November and Thursday 17 December; they were the same on both days. The Supratours times are ONCF's, read in November 2026 for our Tangier to Chefchaouen page. They can change.

The CTM coach. One direct coach a day, from Rabat's coach station (Gare Routière) at 15:00, reaching Chefchaouen at 20:00, for 195 MAD. Two morning coaches, at 07:15 and 10:00, change on the way and take 7 h 35 and 8 h 30.

The train and coach. Al Boraq, the high-speed train, runs from Rabat to Tanger-Ville; travel guides put the trip at about 1 h 20. From Tanger-Ville station, ONCF sells a Supratours coach to Chefchaouen at 10:37 and at 20:37, in 2 h 30, for 60 MAD. It works if your train fits the coach; otherwise it is a long wait in Tangier.

A grand taxi. Shared grand taxis run on parts of the route and leave when they are full. They do not pick up at hotels, and we did not check their fares.

A rental car. The motorway is easy, but the last hour is winding mountain road. Cars cannot enter the medina of Chefchaouen, so you also need parking. A one-way rental usually costs extra.

For one or two people on a budget, the 15:00 coach is the cheaper choice. The car is worth its price when:

• you are three or more: three coach tickets already come to 585 MAD (about €53), before taxis at each end;
• you want to leave in the morning and arrive for lunch, not at 8 pm;
• you have luggage or children, since the car comes to your door;
• you land at Rabat-Salé airport, where no coach to Chefchaouen starts.

From Rabat-Salé airport to Chefchaouen

Rabat-Salé airport is about 236 km from Chefchaouen, about 4 h 15 by car. 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. We confirm the price from the airport on WhatsApp.

Stops on the way

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. A visit is added to the price, depending on the visit, and entry tickets are yours to pay.

Tétouan is a detour, not the direct road: about an hour from Chefchaouen on the far side. If you want to see its UNESCO medina, it fits better on a Tangier to Chefchaouen day. See our Tangier to Chefchaouen transfer.

Arriving in Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen was founded in 1471. Its medina, known for its blue-washed walls, is a pedestrian zone of stairs and lanes, and cars stop at the edge. Your driver takes you as near your riad as a car can go and helps with the bags to the nearest point. Many riads send someone to meet you there. Give us the name of your riad and we tell you where to meet.

It is a small town that suits a night or two.

Chefchaouen to Rabat

The drive back costs the same and takes the same time. Choose "Chefchaouen → Rabat" at the top of the form, and give the address, station or airport you are going to.

By coach, CTM's direct coach left Chefchaouen at 07:00 and reached Rabat at 11:15, for 195 MAD, on both dates we checked. A 21:15 coach changes on the way and takes 6 h 55.
