Uber vs InDrive: Which App to Use in Morocco (2025)?
In this article:
Arriving at Mohammed V Airport or Marrakech Train Station can be stressful. Between taxi drivers refusing to use the meter and the language barrier, ride-hailing apps are essential. But between Uber (often operating as Careem or Heetch depending on the season) and InDrive, who wins?
1. Price: Fixed vs Negotiation
This is the major difference between the two giants.
- Uber/Careem: The price is fixed. You know exactly what you will pay before you get in. Ideal if you don't know local rates.
- InDrive: Based on an auction system. You propose a price, drivers accept or counter-offer.
2. Car Quality and Safety
Uber/Careem generally enforces stricter standards for vehicles (usually under 5 years old). AC is often mandatory.
On InDrive, standards are looser. You might get a brand new car or an old Peugeot. Always check the driver's rating before accepting.
3. Availability by City
| City | Uber/Careem | InDrive |
|---|---|---|
| Casablanca | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Marrakech | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Agadir | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
