Casablanca’s toll-road network is simple once you break it into three everyday trips: CMN airport to the city, Casablanca to Rabat, and Casablanca to Settat (and beyond). The confusion usually comes from two things: (1) which “Casablanca” exit you’re actually using (Centre, Port, Est, Ouest, Tit Mellil…), and (2) thinking tolls work like a flat fee, when they’re really tied to the segment you enter and the exit you choose.
This guide gives you a practical way to budget, and helps you avoid the two most common pain points: paying slowly at toll booths and accidentally taking a longer motorway loop when you only needed a quick urban approach.

1. How toll roads work around Casablanca (the 60-second version)
On Moroccan motorways, you’re usually paying based on where you enter and where you exit. Around Casablanca, that matters because the city has multiple motorway access points and ring-road links. Two drivers can both say “I’m going to Casablanca Centre,” but one exits via a different interchange and pays a different amount.
To budget accurately, use the official tariff list and look up your entry point and exit point for your vehicle class. Keep this open when you plan: Grille tarifaire sur le réseau (Autoroutes du Maroc): https://www.adm.co.ma/fr/grille-tarifaire-sur-le-reseau
2. CMN (Mohammed V) to Casablanca city: what you’ll pay and why it varies
The base airport toll
If you’re using the motorway connection between Casablanca and Aéroport Mohammed V, the published Class 1 toll for that segment is 7 MAD.
That number surprises people (in a good way), but here’s the catch:
Why “airport to city” can still cost more than 7 MAD
The 7 MAD figure is the airport segment itself. Once you approach Casablanca, you might still use the Contournement de Casablanca (bypass/ring) to reach your actual neighborhood or drop-off zone.
Examples of ring-road segments that can add to your total (Class 1), depending on your direction and exit choice:
Casablanca Ouest → Casablanca Centre: 6 MAD
Casablanca Ouest → Casablanca Est: 8 MAD
Mohammedia Ouest → Tit Mellil: 11 MAD
Practical takeaway:
If your destination is straightforward (near a main Casablanca urban exit), your airport trip may feel like “one quick toll.”
If your destination is on the opposite side of the city, you can pay the airport segment plus an extra ring-road segment to avoid inner-city traffic.
What to budget (simple rule)
Minimum toll budget (CMN → Casablanca): 7 MAD
More realistic “city-wide” budget: 13–18 MAD (airport segment + one common ring segment)
Your exact number depends on which Casablanca interchange you use.
3. Casablanca to Rabat highway: the predictable budget route
This is the most predictable toll drive from Casablanca because the motorway segment is widely used and the entry/exit choices are simpler than the Casablanca ring.
On the official tariff list, Casablanca → Rabat (Class 1) is shown as 25 MAD.
What can change your cost slightly?
If you’re not actually going all the way to Rabat and you exit earlier (e.g., Mohammedia), the toll is lower (different exit = different cost).
What to budget
Casablanca → Rabat (one-way): ~25 MAD
Round trip same day: ~50 MAD
(Then add fuel and optional stops.)
4. Casablanca to Settat route: which exits change the price
“Settat route” can mean different things depending on where you join the motorway and whether you exit at Settat Nord or Settat Centre.
From the official tariff list (Class 1):
Nouaceur → Settat Nord: 19 MAD
Nouaceur → Settat Centre: 23 MAD
Settat Nord → Settat Centre: 5 MAD
Why this matters for budgeting
If you’re starting near the airport zone (Nouaceur) and heading to Settat, your total can differ depending on whether you exit North or Centre, and that’s before you add any extra city-side ring-road segments near Casablanca.
What to budget
Casablanca-side to Settat (one-way): roughly the high-teens to low-20s MAD range for Class 1, depending on entry/exit.
Round trip: double it, then add buffer for ring-road segments if you cross the city.
5. Smart budgeting: one-way, round-trip, and “extra” costs people forget
Tolls are usually a small part of your trip budget, but people still get caught by “extras”:
A simple budget formula
Choose your route scenario (CMN → City / Casa → Rabat / Casa → Settat)
Add the core toll (the main segment)
Add 0 or 1 ring-road segment if you’ll cross Casablanca
Add a small buffer (5–10 MAD) for a wrong exit or last-minute detour
Real-life examples
Airport pickup and drop-off in central Casablanca:
7 MAD + (maybe) 6 MAD ring segment = plan ~13 MAD
Casablanca meeting in the morning, Rabat meeting in the afternoon, return at night:
Plan ~25 + 25 = ~50 MAD
6. Toll booth tips that save time (especially in peak hours)
The biggest “toll problem” isn’t the cost—it’s losing time at booths.
What actually helps:
Keep cash ready (small notes are faster than large bills).
Decide your lane early (don’t drift at the last second).
If someone is with you, make them the “toll person.”

FAQ
How much are tolls from CMN airport to Casablanca?
The published Casablanca ↔ Aéroport Mohammed V Class 1 toll is 7 MAD, but your total can increase if you add a Casablanca ring-road segment to reach a specific district.
Why did my friend pay more for “the same” airport trip?
They likely exited at a different Casablanca interchange or used more of the ring road to avoid inner-city traffic. Different entry/exit points change the toll.
What’s the toll for Casablanca to Rabat?
The official tariff list shows 25 MAD for Class 1 on Casablanca → Rabat.
Is Settat Nord cheaper than Settat Centre?
Often, yes because Settat Centre can be a different (longer) segment. Example: Nouaceur → Settat Nord (19 MAD) vs Nouaceur → Settat Centre (23 MAD) for Class 1.
Do I need cash at toll booths?
Cash is the simplest and fastest option in practice; official guidance lists payment methods and helps you plan.
How much should I add as a “buffer” for toll budgeting?
A small buffer (5–10 MAD) is usually enough for a wrong exit, a ring-road add-on, or a last-minute detour especially if you’re not familiar with Casablanca interchanges.
