Where to leave your bags at or near Mohammed V Airport (CMN) in Casablanca: terminals, train station, downtown alternatives, prices, opening hours, and what to do if the airport consigne is closed.
Mohammed V International Airport (IATA code CMN) is the busiest airport in Morocco, handling more than 10 million passengers a year and nearly every long-haul connection in the country. It sits about 30 kilometres south of central Casablanca, in the commune of Nouasseur. Two passenger terminals (T1 and T2) share a single airside, and the on-site ONCF train station is one floor below arrivals — meaning the airport is also a transport hub, not just a flight gateway.
That setup creates a very specific problem for travelers: you often arrive at CMN hours before you can do anything with your luggage. Maybe your flight lands at 6 a.m. and your hotel won't check you in until 3 p.m. Maybe you have a 9-hour layover and want to see Hassan II Mosque without dragging a suitcase. Maybe your evening flight leaves from CMN but your hotel checkout was at noon. In every case the same question comes up: where can I store my bags at Casablanca airport?
This guide answers it honestly — including what works, what doesn't, and the alternatives most blogs skip.
Short answer: historically yes, but it is not a service you should plan around.
CMN has had a baggage consigne in the arrivals area in the past, typically operated by a third party near the meet-and-greet zone in Terminal 1. In practice, travelers report wide variability: closed during early-morning arrivals, unattended during shift changes, or temporarily out of service during terminal works. ONDA (the National Airports Office) does not publish official 24/7 hours for a left-luggage counter, and there is no online booking system tied to the airport.
What this means in practice:
Look for the consigne / left luggage signage past the customs hall, near the meet-and-greet area. If the counter is open, expect:
Best for: very short layovers (under 6 hours) when you only need to step out briefly.
A 35-minute train from CMN brings you directly to Casa-Voyageurs, the city's main rail hub, with onward trains to Casa-Port (downtown), Rabat, and the Al Boraq high-speed line to Tangier. Trains run roughly every hour from around 06:00 to 22:00 and the ride costs about 40–50 MAD in second class.
This unlocks a much wider set of luggage-storage options around Casa-Voyageurs and the city centre — partner shops, hotels, and dedicated drop-offs that are open longer hours and easier to verify online.
Best for: any layover over 6 hours, anyone with sightseeing or meeting plans in Casablanca, and travelers who land before downtown spots open.
If you have a full day, store your bags in central Casablanca rather than at the airport. The Maarif district is a popular choice — it sits a short taxi ride from Casa-Voyageurs, has cafés, shopping at Morocco Mall–adjacent malls, and brings you within walking distance of Hassan II Mosque on the corniche side via a 10-minute taxi.
Compare drop-off points around:
Typical pricing in 2026 sits at around 30–45 MAD per bag per day at curated networks.
Best for: stopovers of 8+ hours, day trips to Casablanca, and pre-flight afternoons after hotel checkout.
A handful of hotels along the Aéroport Mohammed V corridor (Atlas Sky Airport, ibis Casablanca City Center, and others closer to the terminal) will hold luggage for guests, sometimes for non-guests if you've booked a meeting room or restaurant. This is rarely a paid public service and should not be your default.
Best for: travelers already with a hotel booking who want to drop bags during the day.
Casa-Voyageurs has historically offered small lockers near the platforms, but capacity is limited and they fill during festivals, public holidays, and major football fixtures. ONCF does not guarantee availability and there is no reservation. Treat lockers as a backup, not a plan.
There is no single price. From the data travelers report:
| Option | Typical price (MAD/bag/day) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CMN airport consigne (when open) | 30–50 | Cash, paper receipt, capped opening hours |
| Casa-Voyageurs lockers | 20–40 | Subject to availability, no booking |
| Downtown partner network (e.g. Blastey) | 30–45 | Bookable online, sealed bag, photo evidence |
| Hotel storage (guest) | Free–50 | Goodwill basis, no formal contract |
| Hotel storage (non-guest) | 50–100 | Rare, depends on hotel |
For longer stays, downtown options usually win on price per hour and on flexibility because they're bookable in advance.
If your layover is long enough to enter Morocco visa-free or under your nationality's policy:
After hotel checkout you have two clean options:
Avoid carrying bags to the airport early — CMN does not have comfortable landside lounges and check-in for most carriers opens only 3 hours before departure.
Is there 24/7 luggage storage at Casablanca airport? No officially advertised 24/7 service. The terminal is open 24/7 but the consigne counter is not.
Can I store my luggage at Casa-Voyageurs station? Sometimes, in lockers near the platforms, but capacity is limited. A nearby partner network is more reliable.
How long is the train from CMN to Casa-Voyageurs? About 35 minutes, with hourly departures during the day.
Can I leave my luggage at a hotel I am not staying at? Rarely, and usually only as a paid favor. Don't plan around it.
What's the safest way to store luggage in Casablanca? Use a service that gives you a written receipt, a sealed bag, and verifiable opening hours.
