Grande Taxis
We took our first trip in one of Morocco's Grand Taxis when we were returning from Imlil to Marrakech. I'd been avoiding these as long as possible as they have a reputation for fast and careless driving but we had little other option for the return to Marrakech. It took us a good 30 minutes to bargain with the driver and get the fare down from 300 Dh for the whole car to 200. We shared the taxi with a Spanish couple and until Asni it was fairly comfortable as there was only the four of us and the driver. I remember trying the seatbelt only to be told by the driver that it didn‘t work. Hmmm. He sped down the winding mountain road from Asni, and though we were worried at first we soon relaxed. It became something of a squash after Asni when two Moroccan's also jumped in. Overall, though, the trip was fine and I’d have fewer qualms doing a similar trip in future. Be prepared to bargain hard...
