Official Tunis Airport Taxi Details

Tunis Airport Taxi

Official Tunis Airport taxi service is available outside the Arrivals Terminal.

 

Drivers are supposed to use the meter, but most likely you will find yourself negotiating a fare. Before getting in, ask 'meter' or in French 'Vous avez le comptoir?' (do you have a meter?). If there is a refusal to use the meter, either find yourself another cab or try to negotiate a price between TND 5-15, although settling on TND 12-13 will likely be the best you can do. The official price is TND 3 without luggage or TND 5 with luggage - and there is a 50% surcharge after 21:00.

 

All taxi drivers speak Arabic and French, so you might want to practise your French numbers, or at least write down an agreed-upon price.




 Unofficial Tunis Airport Taxi Service or Hire Points

 

Head up to the Departures Level to grab a taxi dropping someone off. This is an unofficial hire point so you will likely have a more honest driver who is willing to use the meter and not rip you off. Many of the airport employees catch a cab to town this way.


 
IHateTaxis.com recommends the unofficial Tunis Airport taxi service.

There is less hassle and possibility of being ripped-off by using the unofficial taxi hire point.



 Pirate Tunis Airport Taxi Serivce

 

Ignore any touts that try to direct you outside to a car as they are setting you up for a rip-off fare to the city. Deal directly with the taxi drivers outside.




 Tunis Airport Taxi Scams


Meter Broken
Very very typical. Either catch another cab or negotiate a price.

 

 

Fake Meter Readings
Keep a close eye on the meter as some of the drivers will change the price or tell you it is something else. Mine was using the clock as a price (TND 1 per minute). A typical guide is that if the meter is already above TND 2 by the end of the airport road then the meter is giving a fake reading and you might want to get out at that point.
