Casa Voyageurs
Casablanca, Morocco · ONCF
Casablanca's principal rail hub, Casa Voyageurs handles the majority of national traffic and operates the direct shuttle to Mohammed V International Airport.
Casa-Voyageurs is Casablanca's long-distance station: most services towards the south, east and north of the country leave from here, along with the Mohammed V airport link. Further from the seafront than Casa-Port, it is better placed for heading straight onto a long journey.

Should you hire a car when arriving at this station?
Renting a vehicle makes perfect sense if Casablanca is only the first stop on your trip, if you plan to explore the surrounding region (El Jadida, Mohammedia, or further afield Marrakech and Rabat), or if your accommodation is located on the outskirts (for example Sidi Maârouf, Bouskoura or Mohammedia).
On the other hand, if your stay is focused entirely on the city centre or the adjacent business district, the tram network, petit taxis and walking are often more efficient for getting around in the immediate urban core.
Getting to the city centre from the station
Strategically located near major road arteries, Casa Voyageurs lets you reach the centre quickly by public transport, petit taxis waiting outside the entrance, or ride-hailing (Careem). It also offers excellent road connections for leaving the city without navigating the most congested areas.
- Petit taxi: 15–40 MAD to most central neighbourhoods, metered or negotiated.
- Tram / city bus: available in several major cities, fixed fare ~6–8 MAD.
- Ride-hailing (Careem): a convenient alternative for bulky luggage, transparent pricing.
- On foot: feasible if your accommodation is within 1.5 km.
Our recommendation for this arrival
Assess your itinerary: for a short city break, stick to local transport. If you are planning regional exploration or need complete independence over several days, picking up a car near the station is a smart move.
