Marrakech by taxi
The airport is located about 6 km (4 miles) from the city, which is about a 10-15 min ride by "petit taxi." Petits taxis are hatchbacks that go to destinations within the city and charge a lower price than the larger "grands taxis," which go between cities. If you leave from the airport by petit taxi, make sure to agree on the price beforehand, or, better yet, have the driver use his meter (a taxi ride to Ville Nouvelle or to Medina from the airport should be Dh 40-70, more at night). In practice, most petit taxi drivers have agreed among themselves to an artificially high rate to or from the airport - most will quote you Dh 80 each way, and half again that much at night. You should try to pay no more than Dh 100 from the airport to the center of the city for a petit taxi, depending on the time of day, number of drivers, and number of potential passengers. If you catch a petit taxi outside of airport, the petit taxi will use the meter instead of negotiated price.
If you are traveling from the airport to somewhere further afield (such as Essaouira), your hotel or guest house may be able to arrange a grand taxi to pick you up at the airport and charge a fixed price for the journey. Grands taxis are generally more expensive than petits taxis, but more comfortable especially when you have luggage. It also avoids hassle, as it's not always easy to haggle with a taxi driver after staggering off a long plane ride half-asleep.
Several international rental car companies are based at the airport as well.
