inDrive in Morocco: Everything You Need to Know

By the Moroccanly team4 min readUpdated October 19, 2026

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. inDrive has become one of the most popular ride-hailing options in the country.

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. You can read more about how the app works on its Wikipedia page.

I’ve seen this app go from something only a few people used to genuinely the default way to get around in cities like Casablanca and Marrakech, all in just a few years.

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.

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.

Which Areas in Morocco Use inDrive Most?

inDrive works best in large cities and urban areas where demand is high. These include:

  • Casablanca
  • Marrakech
  • Rabat
  • Tangier
  • Agadir
  • Fes

In smaller towns and rural areas, finding a driver can be difficult because fewer people use the app.

How to Use inDrive (Step-by-Step Guide)

Using inDrive is simple; here’s how it works:

  1. Download the inDrive app from the App Store or Google Play.
  2. Open the app and allow it to access your location.
  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.

When the ride is over, you pay the driver based on the agreed price (usually in cash, though some drivers might accept other forms).

Tips:

You can chat or call the driver inside the app to clarify your meeting point.

Always check the car model and license plate before getting in.

Local Tip: If a driver cancels on you after accepting, it’s usually because a closer or higher-paying ride came up in the meantime. Just request again. Most cities have enough drivers that a new match comes through within a minute or two.

Is inDrive Worth Using in Morocco?

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.

Disclaimer: Always consider local laws and safety when using transportation apps.
