inDrive in Morocco: Everything You Need to Know

inDrive is a ride-hailing app that lets you book rides with cars or drivers nearby, similar to Uber or Careem in other countries. People in Morocco have started using it more and more, especially in big cities like Casablanca, Marrakech, Rabat, Agadir, Tangier, and Fes.

One big reason people like inDrive is control over the price. Unlike traditional taxis where the meter or the driver sets the rate, inDrive lets you propose your own price. Drivers can accept your offer or send a counter-offer, so you can often find a fair deal.

Because of this flexibility and ease, inDrive became the most downloaded transportation app in Morocco in recent years. Many locals and visitors find it more reliable and safer than older options like street taxis or buses.

Is inDrive Legal in Morocco?

This is important: inDrive is not officially legal under current Moroccan transport law. The transport ministry has rejected licensing requests for ride-hailing apps like inDrive because passenger transport is regulated and requires official permits that inDrive drivers generally don’t have.

That said, a lot of people still use the app every day.. locals and tourists alike. Authorities are aware of it, and there are ongoing talks about how to regulate and legalize ride-hailing in the future.

Drivers sometimes risk fines or other issues if caught without the right permits. But in most big cities, you will still see inDrive working in practice.

3. Enter your pickup point (where you want the driver to come).

4. Enter your destination (where you want to go).

5. Set your price: type how much you are willing to pay.

6. The app will show nearby drivers who can accept or suggest a different price.

After a driver accepts, you confirm the ride and wait for them to arrive.

Conclusion

inDrive has quickly become a popular transport option in Morocco. It gives riders more control over pricing, easier booking, and a modern alternative to traditional taxis and buses. However, it still operates in a legal grey area because ride-hailing services do not have formal government licenses yet. Despite this, many people use inDrive daily in major cities because of its convenience and flexibility.
