Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a ride?
We recommend booking your transfer or hourly hire service at least 72 hours in advance. If you don’t have that much time, you can request an urgent transfer — we’ll let you know as soon as possible whether we can confirm it.
What pick-up time should I specify for the transfer?
If your transfer starts from an airport or railway station, please specify your flight or train arrival time as the start of your transfer. This helps the driver organize the meeting more accurately.
If your transfer starts from a hotel to an airport, please indicate the time you wish to be picked up at reception. You’ll need to calculate it yourself, allowing extra time for check-in. We recommend adding about 3 hours before your flight’s departure. For example, if your flight leaves at 14:00 and the trip takes 1 hour, your pick-up time should be 10:00.
How do I know if my order has been accepted?
After submitting your booking, you’ll receive an email with all trip details and your order status as “Waiting”. Once we receive and confirm your payment, the status will change to “Accepted”, and you’ll receive another email confirmation.
If you don’t receive the confirmation email, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
How do I change my booking?
To make changes to your booking, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
Important note: Requests for changes made less than 72 hours before your trip may be declined.
How can I cancel my booking?
You can cancel your booking in two ways:
- Via the booking page on our website — use the cancellation number provided in your booking voucher, at least 72 hours before the trip.
- By contacting our support team if it’s less than 72 hours before your ride.
Important note: In case of urgent cancellation, we may not be able to refund your deposit. The free cancellation period is stated in your confirmation email.
What should I do if my flight is delayed?
If your flight is delayed by less than 30 minutes, the driver will adjust their arrival time automatically.
If the delay is longer, please inform the driver directly (their phone number is in your confirmation voucher) or contact WelcomeTaxi Customer Support at office@welcome.taxi. Please include your order number and the new arrival time.
Important note: The driver may charge an additional fee for extended waiting time.
How will I find my driver?
For airport transfers, if you’ve added the meet-and-greet option to your order, the driver will meet you in the arrivals area — right after passport control and baggage claim. You’ll see a name sign with your first and last names (or custom text, if specified in your booking).
Important note: We strongly recommend adding the meet-and-greet option to your airport transfer booking.
For hotel pickups, the driver will wait for you in the hotel lobby. Detailed meeting instructions and your driver’s contact number are provided in your booking confirmation voucher.
How can I be sure that my driver will pick me up?
WelcomeTaxi guarantees that your driver will do their best to meet you on time.
Both you and the driver will have each other’s phone or WhatsApp number. Please keep your mobile phone switched on at the time of pickup. If you can’t reach the driver, contact our support team immediately.
I can’t find my driver. What should I do?
If you can’t find your driver, please double-check the name signs again — the driver may have missed you in the crowd.
Try calling or messaging the driver via WhatsApp. If there’s no response within the meeting time, contact our support team.
If necessary, go to the airport’s Information Desk to arrange a local taxi to your destination.
Important note: If the driver fails to meet you, we will refund your payment.

Airport Transfers and Chauffeur Service from Tunis Airport
Tunis–Carthage International Airport (TUN) is the principal international airport serving Tunis and northern Tunisia. Located close to the capital, the airport provides convenient access to central Tunis, the historic Medina, the modern business districts and the coastal communities around Carthage and the Gulf of Tunis.
The airport is named after the nearby ancient city of Carthage and handles scheduled domestic and international flights throughout the year. It is an important arrival point for tourists, business travellers, families and passengers continuing to beach resorts or other regions of Tunisia.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private airport transfers from TUN to hotels, apartments, offices and private addresses. Chauffeur service and long-distance transfers can also be arranged to destinations across northern and central Tunisia.
Getting from Tunis Airport to the City
Tunis Airport is situated only a few kilometres from central Tunis, but journey times vary according to traffic and the exact destination. Passengers can travel by private transfer, official taxi, public bus, hotel shuttle or rental car.
Pre-Booked Private Airport Transfer
A private airport transfer provides direct transportation from the terminal to a hotel, residence, office or another specified address. The vehicle is reserved exclusively for the booked party, without shared passengers or scheduled intermediate stops.
This option is particularly convenient for first-time visitors, families, business travellers and passengers carrying several suitcases. Advance booking also allows the vehicle category to be selected according to the number of passengers and luggage.
The destination, pickup details and essential travel information are recorded before arrival. Passengers therefore do not need to search for a suitable vehicle or explain an unfamiliar address after landing.
Official Airport Taxis
Official yellow taxis are available outside the terminal and operate throughout the day and night. They can be a practical choice for an uncomplicated journey to central Tunis when the passenger is comfortable arranging transportation after arrival.
Travellers should use authorised taxis and confirm that the meter is operating correctly. Additional charges may apply under local rules for airport departures, nighttime travel or luggage.
A standard taxi may not have enough space for a family or group with several large suitcases. Passengers requiring a minivan, child seats or a specific vehicle category may prefer to book in advance.
Public Buses
Public bus services connect the airport area with Tunis. This is generally the least expensive transportation option and may suit individual travellers with light luggage and flexible schedules.
Buses follow fixed routes and may not stop near the passenger’s accommodation. Visitors may need to continue by taxi, metro, tram or on foot. Timetables and route information can also be less convenient for travellers who do not speak Arabic or French.
Hotel Shuttles
Some hotels arrange airport pickups for their guests. Passengers should confirm whether the service is private or shared, whether it is included in the room rate and where the hotel representative will meet them.
A WelcomeTaxi transfer provides an independent alternative when the accommodation does not offer transportation or when a dedicated vehicle is preferred.
Car Rental
Rental cars are available for visitors planning independent travel around Tunisia. A car can be useful for a multi-city itinerary or journeys to places with limited public transport.
For a short stay in Tunis, driving may be unnecessary. Traffic can be busy, local driving styles may be unfamiliar and parking is limited in parts of the city centre and historic districts.
Why Pre-Book a Transfer from TUN?
Although Tunis Airport is close to the capital, arranging a transfer in advance offers greater predictability. The vehicle, route and destination are organised before arrival, allowing passengers to leave the airport without comparing transport options at the terminal.
A private transfer is especially useful when:
- your flight arrives late at night or early in the morning;
- you are travelling with children or elderly passengers;
- you have several suitcases or oversized luggage;
- your group requires a minivan, van or minibus;
- you need direct transportation to a resort or another city;
- you prefer an English-speaking driver;
- you have a meeting, event or fixed onward schedule.
Unlike a public bus, a private transfer takes passengers directly to the booked address. Unlike a taxi selected after landing, the vehicle can be matched in advance to the party size and luggage requirements.
Transfers to Central Tunis
Private transfers are available to hotels, apartments and business addresses throughout Tunis. Common destinations include the city centre, the Medina of Tunis, Avenue Habib Bourguiba, Les Berges du Lac, Centre Urbain Nord and the areas surrounding the main railway and bus stations.
The Medina contains narrow streets and pedestrian areas that may not be accessible by car. When direct access to an accommodation entrance is impossible, the driver will use the nearest safe and authorised stopping point.
Passengers staying in an apartment or traditional guesthouse should provide the complete address, property name and any access instructions supplied by the host.
Transfers to Carthage, Sidi Bou Said and La Marsa
The northern coastal suburbs of Tunis are among the most popular destinations from the airport. Private transfers can be arranged to Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, La Marsa, Gammarth and surrounding residential and resort areas.
Carthage is known for its archaeological sites and historic importance, while Sidi Bou Said attracts visitors with its white-and-blue architecture and views of the Mediterranean. La Marsa and Gammarth contain beaches, restaurants, hotels, embassies and private residences.
These destinations are outside central Tunis but remain part of the wider metropolitan area. Travel time depends on traffic, especially during weekday commuting periods and busy summer weekends.
Chauffeur Service in Tunis
WelcomeTaxi’s chauffeur service can be arranged for business meetings, official visits, conferences, sightseeing and private events. A vehicle with a driver may be booked for a single journey or for an agreed number of hours.
Hourly chauffeur hire is useful when several stops are required during the same day. The driver remains available during the reserved period, subject to the agreed itinerary, mileage and parking conditions.
A business itinerary may include Tunis Airport, Les Berges du Lac, government offices, embassies, hotels and corporate locations throughout the capital. Private sightseeing may combine central Tunis with Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, La Marsa and other nearby attractions.
An English-speaking driver can be requested, subject to local availability. Arabic and French are more widely used locally, so passengers who consider English essential should state this clearly when booking.
Transfers from Tunis Airport to Hammamet
Hammamet is one of Tunisia’s best-known coastal resort destinations and a frequent transfer route from Tunis Airport. Private transportation can be arranged directly to hotels, resorts, villas and apartments in Hammamet and Yasmine Hammamet.
A pre-booked transfer avoids the need to travel into central Tunis before taking an intercity bus, train or shared vehicle. It is particularly convenient for families, resort guests and passengers arriving with substantial luggage.
Journey times depend on traffic and the precise location of the accommodation. Summer weekends, public holidays and peak arrival periods may increase travel time.
Transfers to Nabeul and Cap Bon
Nabeul is the main city of the Cap Bon Peninsula and is located close to Hammamet. Transfers are available to hotels, private addresses and coastal communities throughout the area.
Private transportation can also be requested to Korba, Kelibia, El Haouaria and other destinations around Cap Bon. These routes are less convenient by public transport when passengers have luggage or need to reach accommodation outside a town centre.
Long-Distance Transfers from Tunis Airport
Tunis Airport is a practical starting point for private travel to cities, resorts and historical attractions throughout Tunisia. A direct transfer can eliminate changes between local taxis, railway stations and intercity transport.
Sousse and Port El Kantaoui
Sousse is a major coastal city known for its historic Medina, beaches and tourism infrastructure. Nearby Port El Kantaoui is a purpose-built resort area with hotels, a marina and leisure facilities.
Private transfers from TUN provide direct travel to accommodation in either destination. This can be more convenient than using public transport, particularly for groups and passengers arriving late in the day.
Monastir
Long-distance transfers are available to Monastir, its hotels and nearby coastal resorts. Transportation can also be arranged to Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport when an airport-to-airport journey is required.
Monastir is considerably farther from Tunis than Hammamet, so passengers should provide their full itinerary and allow sufficient travel time.
Kairouan
Kairouan is one of Tunisia’s most important historic and religious cities. A private transfer offers direct access to hotels and attractions without changing vehicles at an intercity transport station.
Passengers planning a return excursion should specify whether waiting time is required. The chauffeur provides transportation but does not replace a licensed local guide.
Bizerte
Bizerte is a northern port city with a historic harbour, beaches and access to the surrounding coastal region. Private transfers can be arranged from Tunis Airport to hotels, residences and business locations in Bizerte.
Dougga and Northern Tunisia
Dougga is one of Tunisia’s most significant Roman archaeological sites. Its inland location makes it less straightforward to reach by scheduled public transport, so a private car is a practical option for a day trip or one-way journey.
Transportation may also be requested to Testour, Béja, Tabarka and other northern destinations. The complete itinerary should be supplied in advance because travel times and vehicle requirements vary considerably.
Sfax, Djerba and Southern Tunisia
Long-distance private transfers can be arranged to Sfax and, subject to availability, destinations farther south. Journeys to Djerba, Tozeur or desert regions cover substantial distances and require careful planning.
For very long routes, passengers should allow time for comfort and refreshment stops. A domestic flight may be faster for some destinations, but a private transfer provides direct door-to-door travel and may be practical for groups or complex itineraries.
Nearby Airports and Alternative Arrival Points
Enfidha–Hammamet International Airport (NBE) is the principal neighboring airport relevant to travellers visiting Hammamet and Tunisia’s central coastal resorts. It is farther from Tunis than TUN but may be used by seasonal and leisure flights.
Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport (MIR) serves Monastir, Sousse and nearby resort areas. It is not a normal alternative for central Tunis but may be relevant to multi-city journeys along the Tunisian coast.
Private airport-to-airport transfers can be arranged when passengers have separately booked flights or need to reposition between different regions.
Vehicles for Individuals, Families and Groups
A standard private car is normally suitable for one to three passengers with moderate luggage. Families and small groups may require a minivan or van, while larger parties can request minibuses, coaches or several coordinated vehicles.
The number of suitcases must be provided accurately. A vehicle may have enough seats for the passengers but insufficient luggage capacity when every traveller carries a large case.
Child seats, wheelchairs, bicycles, golf equipment and other special items should be declared before booking. This allows an appropriate vehicle to be selected and reduces the risk of delays at pickup.
Useful Travel Information for Tunis
Arabic is the official language of Tunisia, while French is also widely used in business, transport and everyday communication. English is common in larger hotels and tourism businesses, but proficiency varies among drivers.
Tunisia uses the Tunisian dinar. Cash remains useful for local purchases and some transportation services, although cards are accepted at many hotels, restaurants and larger businesses.
The Tunis light rail network, commonly called the Métro Léger, serves the capital and some surrounding districts. Suburban rail services connect Tunis with La Goulette, Carthage, Sidi Bou Said and La Marsa. These options are useful for local sightseeing but may be inconvenient immediately after a flight with luggage.
Traffic can become heavy during weekday commuting periods. Journey times may also increase in summer, during public holidays and around major events.
Travellers should check current entry, visa and customs requirements before departure. Requirements depend on nationality and may change.
