CTM also operates international buses to Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and Spain from
Casablanca ( Click here ).


The modern Gare Routière Ouled Ziane , 4km southeast of the centre, is the bus station for
almost all non-CTM services. The main reason to trek out here is for destinations not covered
by CTM. A taxi to the bus station will cost about Dh20, alternatively take bus No 10 or 36 from
Blvd Mohammed V near the market.


Also on Route Ouled Ziane, but more than 1km closer to town, is the SAT bus station. SAT
runs national and international buses of a similar standard to CTM, though to fewer
destinations. Fares are slightly cheaper.

Casablanca is well endowed with car-rental agencies, many with offices around Ave des FAR,
Blvd Mohammed V and at the airport.
