We were just trying to hitch a ride to Casablanca Center, but after 2 minutes a truckdriver stopped and took us to Tanger (our final destination).A lot of traffic, but not the best spot, because the cars are going pretty fast already

I was wary of the speed of traffic further up the road. Not a many cars here but they’re still heading Tangier way. A kid came by and wagged his finger to help me hail a car, it worked. Thanks mate―Breno

Good spot to go to Tanger. Unfortunately I had to pay for ride but that's mostly because I was to tired to fight for free ride after spending night under a bridge and before that escaping guy who wanted to have a gay sex with me but if you have energy to try to get a free ride this spot is definitely good (Aldo I've marked that I used thumb I actually used Arabic form of it which is pointing at the road with my forefinger)―Anonymous

dec 2010, that a long walk from the center about 1h30 from the bus station. You can find roundabout before, but I slep in the building near by. You can find a bus to go there as well, but a bus ticket to Tetouan is 13.5 Dhs so ... worth it ?―Anonymous

A toll booth that takes you to the highway A4. There is not too much traffic but if you just keep walking towards the highway on-ramp someone stops for sure because there are no local \\"hitchhikers\\" and a foreigner here sticks out like a sore thumb.―Anonymous

After a big flyover bridge there is a bus stop where you can hitch to highway A4 (also local \\"hitchhikers\\" here).―Anonymous

We hitched from here with a friend to join the motorway. It worked in less than 15 min for us ! you should try, and don't forget that european standard in terms of hitchhiking spots are not the same in Morrocco. You can hitch from everywhere !―Anonymous

There's no need to take a taxi. Take the Bus n°9 from the Gare Routiere. Get off the Bus before he goes to the Airport and get your thumb out on the N1―Anonymous

FERRY LIFT: alright, this is the place where you wanna go if you're looking for a free lift on the ferry. Coming from Tangier, if you get dropped at the passenger terminal roundabout, don't go left, cause that's the passenger terminal and you don't need to do anything there, don't go right where you see the truck sign cause that's just a parking lot I guess, GO STRAIGHT, where it seems like you shouldn't go, but that's where you want to go, walk a couple of kms, you'll get to the place where trucks are scanned before boarding (on the right hand side). There you'll find all the trucks waiting, start asking all the drivers for a lift to Algeciras, remind them they are allowed to take one more passenger on the truck for free, the port staff is friendly, won't give you any trouble.It took us just 15 minutes to find a ride for me and my girlfriend, it was a three drivers turkish company, they were happy to take us with them.
Alright, second step, getting your passport stamped, that's the hard part, before entering the scanning area, you need to pass through this toil boot-looking gates, where you'll need to go to the customs office on the left and get your passport stamped. there may be different officers, the one that was on shift got us into tight jams, he didn't want to stamp our passports, we told him we were trying to hitch hike a ride because we didn't have any money, and that what we were doing was totally legal, he said he didn't have the permission to do it, and told us to go to the main police office at the passenger terminal (that's a long walk), if it happened to you, DEMAND him to call his chief and INSIST ON IT, otherwise you'll have to go all the way back to the terminal. After half an hour we finally got our passports stamped and green light to go.
Third step, long wait for the truck to be scanned, and for the drivers to get all their papers, took us HOURS. Finally we could leave and go to the embarkation place, but be aware that tourists cars have the priority on boarding, so trucks will have to wait till there's room left on one of the ferries.
At the end of the day, it took us just 15 minutes to find a ride but 7 hours before touching spanish land (the ferry is just one hour).
NB: trucks pay several hundreds of euros for the ferry (12 hundred my truck), so hitchhikers being passengers usually get one free meal on board.
