Private driver Marrakech ⇄ Essaouira
The private Marrakech ⇄ Essaouira transfer costs €200 per vehicle — up to 7 passengers in a Mercedes Vito, 190 km in ≈2 h 45, pick-up at your riad and drop-off at the medina gates (vehicles cannot enter; luggage porterage arranged). Same price both directions; a day-trip version with the driver waiting on site is available.
The Essaouira road is one of Morocco's most pleasant: olive plains, argan trees where goats sometimes climb, and the Atlantic appearing at the last pass. Stops are part of the journey — a women's argan cooperative, the perched-goats photo when the season allows — and cost nothing extra. On arrival the driver drops you at the medina gate nearest your riad and can arrange luggage porterage.

Frequently asked questions
How long is Marrakech to Essaouira?
≈2 h 45 for 190 km — the road is good but single-carriageway for a long stretch, so timings vary little; leaving early simply avoids Marrakech's exit traffic.
Can you do Essaouira as a day trip?
Yes — leave around 8 am, ≈5 hours on site (medina, port, ramparts, a fish lunch), back for dinner. The day-trip formula with waiting driver is quoted per day; for a group it beats seat-in-coach excursions comfortably.
Isn't the bus cheaper?
For a solo traveller, yes. From 3–4 passengers the private transfer (€200 per vehicle) meets comfort-bus prices — with no timetable, door-to-door service, unlimited luggage and stops at will.
