These cabs have a bright, distinctive color for each town: (a) Red in Casablanca and (b) Blue in Rabat etc.
They only drive in town and do not cover longer journeys. If you are taking one of these cabs, please DO settle the price FIRST before boarding if they have no meter.
The 'grand taxi' is white and will take a maximum of six people. These will take you to the outer suburbs and even to the other parts of town. Please, PLEASE fix the price FIRST before beginning your journey. Theme: Airplane

 Mohammed V Airport by TomorrowsAngel
It's located about 30km south of Casablanca, so if your accommodation provided free transport to/from the airport, then its a good idea to use it!
Getting to/from Casablanca:-
Car - there is short and long term parking, numerous rental car companies
Rail - trains operate from Arrivals to Casablanca port and the city centre (takes about 50 minutes)
Taxi - grand taxis from outside Arrivals cost around 200MAD to the city
Bus - there is a bus service to Casablanca from Arrivals
Airport Facilities:-
ATMs, post office, banks with bureau de change facility, pay telephones, restaurants, cafés, various duty-free shops, pharmacy, and first aid facilities available. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplanePhone: (0)22 539 040 or 539 140Website: www.onda.org.ma (French only)

Casablanca's international airport is a reputable well-functioning airport. More so recently after it has opened its newly-expanded modern terminal to accommodate an ever-expanding foreign traffic. So, as far as your immediate concern goes about your 20-year old's safety, you ought to just push aside your nervousness about things contrary to what you might have heard or read - which are usually very biased and inaccurate reporting in Western press about Morocco - and rest assured your child will soon be home with you and very likely with the luggage intact.

 Casablanca by PierreZA
For domestic connection flights, I used Royal Air Maroc (RAM).
Both airlines have good websites on which I could do all the bookings.
Airport: Mohammed V International Airport = old and chaotic? Theme: Airplane

Casablanca Airport is called Mohammed V and it is Morocco’s main airport for its size and volume of traffic. Many international flights arrive in Casablanca and transit to other cities, it is also the hub of the country’s airline – Royal Air Maroc. The airport is around 30kms south of the CBD. Trains and buses run from the airport to the main train station. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 BOULEVARD SOUR JDID by matcrazy1
Like in the whole Morocco do not forget to over-use your car horn :-). And remember to drive on the right side of the road even if you are a Brit and even if you find some natives driving more left then right :-).
Driving was easier than parking: finding a place to park a car was a little more difficult especially in the center/downtown and in Nouvelle Medina.
I found the main narrow street in Nouvelle Medina jammed and I had to look for a parking lot maybe 10-15 min. (this was the longest time in Morocco haha).
In front of Hassan II mosque I stopped on this wide avenue on the picture (Boulevard Sour Jdid). Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 TRAFFIC IN THE CENTRE,
CASABLANCA by matcrazy1
1. the center/downtown with Place des Nations Unies;
2. Ancienne Medina (I drove a car there);
3. Blvd. Houphouet Boigny (how to pronaunce it? :-) leading to port;
4. Av. Hassan II to Place Mohammed V and Park de La Ligue Arabe.
One full (loong) day was enough to visit the above places.
To Hassan II Mosque and the New Medina you can walk as well (very looong walk) but better get a taxi or drive if you have a car - own or hired one. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Casa Port train station by Doctor38
The Mohamed V station where you can take the train to and from the airport. I usually take a first class ticket when I am heading to/from the airport because I am guaranteed a seat, and I have enough place to store my bag. A second class ticket could leave you standing. A first class ticket will cost you 50 Dh while a second class will cost aroud 30 Dh. the trip will last for about 50 minutes and there is a train every 1/2 hr. The last train leaving the airport at night is 22:50. The train station is located under the the Airport so you don't need to walk in the outside. from this station you can get not only to Casabalnca but also directly to Mohamadya, Rabat, Sala and Konitra.
One of the other train station is Casa Port train station, where most of the trains to Mohamediya, Rabat, konitra, and Jadeda. From this station you will be able to go to the Airport but you’ll have to change trains at Ain Esseba train station . Allow extra time if you decide to take this route
CasaVoyager train station is the main train station if you want to go Fes, Marrakesh, Tangier or anywhere else in Morocco. It is the train station if you want to go to the airport
I usually use a second class ticket. I have never had a need of pre-booking. I have used a night train and a sleeper cabin from Marrakesh to Fes but that was in 1997. All what I can remember is that it was comfortable enough. Look at the web site for scedule to various cities

 a red Petit Taxi by uglyscot
My husband wanted to go sightseeing as soon as we arrived since our stay in Casablanca was to be limited, and thought of finding a taxi for the duration; but I insisted we walk. This would be the ideal way of seeing the town were it not for the rain !
When we went to visit Hassan II mosque we were advised that it was a long way, and so we took [thanks VT members] a Petit Taxi. These are small cars with meters that buzz around the town and cost a fraction of the price of a large taxi. The trip to Hassan II mosque cost us 10DH including tip.
When it came to going to the railway station with our luggage we were 5DH.
So, avoid the large taxis, and support the Petit Taxi. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Getting to Casablanca - and out of - by train is very comfortable. Trains are mostly on time, cheap and quite nice. There are two classes - and the second class is more than adequate and quite roomy. We travelled once in first class and noticed very little difference, except perhaps that seats are reserved. Basically: take second class if you are departing from where the train is originating (you'll find a seat no problem), but if you must take it from any station in between you're better off booking first class, so that you will be sure of having a seat.
The main station where the train arrives - and departs from - is Casa Voyageurs... a nice train station not far from the new city centre. trains to the airport depart from there, too - generally one every hour. The added bonus of Casa Voyageurs is that it is right beside an Ibis hotel - which means that you can just hop in for a quick drink or lunch between trains, and use a clean toilet.
