Why Book a Private Transfer from Tangier to Meknes?
On most Moroccan routes we tell you to take the train. This is the one where the car is genuinely quicker — here's why.
The Train Needs a Change
There is no direct service. You change at Sidi Kacem or Kénitra and the whole thing runs to about 4h30 — against 2h50 in the car, door to door.
Fixed Price from 199€
Your Tangier to Meknes price is confirmed before you book. From 199€ per vehicle — not per person, tolls and fuel included. Six people split it to about 33€ each.
Volubilis at the End
The Roman site is 30 km north of Meknes and no bus goes there. Add it for a supplement and you arrive having already walked the mosaics.
Asilah, Larache & Volubilis
The route passes whitewashed Asilah and the Roman ruins of Lixus, and Volubilis sits near the end. Add one and the drive becomes part of the trip rather than a gap in it.

How to Get from Tangier to Meknes — Distance & Route
The distance from Tangier to Meknes is about 245 km, motorway most of the way. The drive takes roughly 2 hours 50 in a private vehicle, a little more to a riad near Place el-Hedim at busy times.
Wondering how to get from Tangier to Meknes? Unusually for Morocco, the ONCF train is the slower option here: there is no direct service, so you change at Sidi Kacem or Kénitra and the journey runs to roughly 4h30 station to station. It is still much cheaper per person. The CTM coach is cheaper again and slower still, between bus stations.
Your driver leaves Tangier south along the Atlantic through Asilah and Larache, crosses the Gharb plain at Sidi Kacem, then turns inland to Meknes. One vehicle, no changes, no platform to carry luggage across.

Tangier to Meknes Taxi — Booked, Not Hailed
A Tangier to Meknes taxi arranged on the day is a 245 km intercity fare negotiated at the kerb, in a car you have not seen. Shared grand taxis cover the route in stages via Sidi Kacem and leave only when full.
Pre-booking settles the fare, the vehicle and the driver in advance. You get the driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp the day before, an air-conditioned car with real luggage space, and the same price at 4am as at midday.

How to Get from Tangier to Meknes — Options Compared
Here is the honest comparison if you are deciding how to get from Tangier to Meknes:
| Option | Approx. price | Total time | Starts at the terminal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-booked private transfer | From 199€ fixed, per vehicle | ~2h50 door to door | ✅ Yes, any hour |
| ONCF train | Cheap, per person | ~4h station to station, plus two taxis | ❌ Station is in Tangier |
| CTM coach | Cheapest, per person | 6h+ with transfers | ❌ Bus station |
| Car rental one-way | Day rate + one-way fee | ~2h50 + paperwork | ⚠️ Nowhere to park at the medina |
On a tight budget and happy to change trains? Take the rail option — it costs a fraction and the change at Sidi Kacem is straightforward. The car wins on time here rather than only on comfort: 2h50 door to door against roughly 4h30, plus luggage, groups, any hour, and Volubilis on the way in.

Tangier to Meknes Transfer — FAQ
💶 How much is a transfer from Tangier to Meknes?
The Tangier to Meknes price is 199€ per vehicle for the full 245 km — the same fare in a sedan or a 6-seater van, with motorway tolls and fuel included. Price is per vehicle, not per person, and there is no night surcharge.
⏱️ How long is the drive from Tangier to Meknes?
The distance from Tangier to Meknes is around 245 km and the drive takes about 2 hours 50 via Asilah, Larache and Sidi Kacem, motorway most of the way.
🚕 How to get from Tangier to Meknes?
Three options: a private transfer from your address to the medina gate (~2h50, fixed price of 199€ per vehicle, any hour), the ONCF train with a change at Sidi Kacem or Kénitra — roughly 4h30 station to station — or the CTM coach, cheapest and slower again.
🚆 Is the train faster than a private transfer?
Not on this route, and that is unusual for Morocco. There is no direct service from Tangier, so you change at Sidi Kacem or Kénitra and the journey runs to about 4h30 against 2h50 by road. The train is still far cheaper per person, so it comes down to time against budget.
🏺 Can we visit Volubilis on the way?
Yes, and it is the most requested addition on this route. The Roman site sits 30 km north of Meknes, directly before you arrive, and no bus serves it — adding it here saves a separate day trip. Quoted as a supplement; ask at booking so the driver plans the timing.
🏛️ Where do you drop me in Meknes?
At the gate closest to your riad — usually Bab Mansour on Place el-Hedim or Bab Berdaine, since the medina lanes are too narrow for a car. Hotels in the Ville Nouvelle are served at the same fare. Give us the riad name at booking.
⛴️ Can you collect me from Tanger Med or Tangier Airport?
Yes, both at the same 199€, with the sailing or flight tracked and the waiting included. Neither has a rail link towards Meknes, so the alternative starts with a taxi into Tangier and a train with a change.
🔄 Can I book the return from Meknes?
Yes. Meknes → Tangier runs at the same fixed price of 199€, with collection at your medina gate and drop-off at your address, the airport or Tanger Med.
Loved by travellers to Morocco
“Two excellent transfers — Marrakech airport then Marrakech to Taghazout the next morning. Both drivers safe, polite and pleasant. Baby seat provided. Will definitely book again.”
“Transfers.ma for our entire Morocco circuit — airport, Taghazout, back to Agadir. Every transfer on time, professional and stress-free. The Argana Valley drive was breathtaking.”
“8 surfers with 10 boards from Marrakech to Taghazout. Sprinter waiting at 7am sharp. Price per person extraordinarily low. Never taking CTM again.”
“Taghazout to Agafay Desert as the last leg — surf week then 3 nights in the desert. Camp-to-camp without stopping in Marrakech. The landscape shift was unbelievable.”
“Agadir airport to Taghazout after a terrible shared taxi. Door to door, boards in the van, driver knew my guesthouse in Tamraght exactly.”
“Both legs — Marrakech Airport to Taghazout and Taghazout back at departure. Same quality both times. WhatsApp instant, prices clear, nothing hidden.”
