Met at arrivals

Your driver tracks the flight, waits in arrivals with your name on a sign and takes you to the door. Inside Fes el-Bali, where cars cannot go, a porter carries your bags from the gate to the riad.

A driver for a day, or the whole country

The drivers we work with know the Atlas passes, the piste to the Sahara and the tight lanes outside the medina gates, and they speak English.

8 to 10 hours

A driver for the day

An English-speaking driver and a sedan, 4x4 or minivan for the day, fuel and tolls included. Use it for a day out of Fes, such as Volubilis and Meknes, or to be dropped and collected around the city while you shop. A minivan seats up to 7 with luggage; ask for child seats when you book.

Three days or more

The same driver for the whole trip

One driver from your first riad to your last hotel, door to door, in a sedan for the cities and coast or a 4x4 for the mountains and desert. The route can change on the road, and the driver's lodging and meals are part of your quote.

Atlas and Sahara

A 4x4 to the dunes

A long-base Toyota Land Cruiser or Prado, up to 6 travellers with luggage, for the Atlas passes and the piste into Erg Chebbi or Erg Chigaga. Your driver takes you to the desert camp and collects you the next morning.

Transfer and driver questions

What travellers ask before they book a pickup or a driver.

How do I find my driver at Morocco airports?
Your driver meets you in arrivals holding a sign with your name. We watch your flight number, so if your plane is delayed the pickup moves with it. You get the driver's name and WhatsApp number before you travel.
How is an airport transfer quoted?
Each transfer is quoted for your flight, your party and your bags, private or small-group: a sedan seats up to 3 passengers with luggage, a minivan up to 7. The quote is agreed in writing before you travel, with no meter and no surge; cancellation and refunds follow Serenity Morocco Tours' booking terms. Send your flight number and drop-off address with the quote form and we reply by email.
Can I hire a private driver in Morocco for a full multi-day road trip?
Yes — this is what we do most. Tell us your route and dates and we send a custom quote, private or small-group, for a sedan or a Sahara-ready 4x4; the same driver stays with you across the whole route. Driver's accommodation and meals are included.
Is it safer to use a private driver than to drive yourself in Morocco?
For most travellers, yes. Moroccan road signs are bilingual but rural driving (Atlas passes, desert tracks) is demanding. The drivers we work with know the road conditions in every season.

Send us your flight or your route. We'll quote the car.

  1. Tell us what drew you in. Your dates, who is travelling and what you want to see.
  2. A person reads it. We write a day-by-day plan for your group, private or small-group.
  3. You change anything. Then we confirm the guides, drivers and riads.
