Hello everyone,

In order to move around in Morocco, you will have to spend time on the road; for your work commute, to drop your children off at school or for everyday trips. Carpooling could be the right option for you. We would like to know your views on carpooling as a means of transport, and whether it is a practical and cost-effective option.

Is carpooling and cost-sharing common practice in Morocco? What about the regulations in force?

For which types of journey does carpooling seem more suitable in Morocco? How much is the cost of a carpool trip?

Is there an app or other means available to connect people looking to carpool? How do you find other carpoolers?

If you are carpooling in Morocco, what precautions should you take to travel safely?

According to you, what are the advantages and disadvantages of carpooling?

Thank you for sharing your experience,
Diksha

In my experience the roads in Morocco are very dangerous, people dont drive well. So you would be better off carpooling with someone experienced, who knows the area well and knows the roads. I wouldn't recomend you buy a nice care to drive around there. (That's what I did and it was a terrible idea) . If you want to get your own car to drive get a cheap but strong car. There are alot of good mechanics in Morocco and good value too.
Good luck, I hope I helped you a little.
