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-Driven Travel in Tunis
Tunis is the capital and largest urban centre of Tunisia, combining a historic medina with modern business districts, Mediterranean suburbs, government institutions, cultural attractions, and important transport connections. The city is the natural entry point for many international visitors travelling for tourism, business, conferences, family visits, or onward journeys around the country.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur services throughout Tunis and the surrounding coastal area. Transportation can be arranged between the airport, hotels, private residences, offices, railway stations, ferry terminals, conference venues, tourist attractions, and destinations elsewhere in Tunisia.
Passengers may reserve a direct airport pickup, a city transfer, an hourly chauffeur-driven vehicle, or a long-distance journey. Suitable cars and larger vehicles can be arranged for individual travellers, families, corporate clients, organised groups, and passengers carrying additional luggage.
Tunis Airport Transfers
Tunis–Carthage International Airport (TUN) is the main airport serving Tunis and northern Tunisia. It is located close to the capital and provides relatively convenient road access to central Tunis, the Medina, Les Berges du Lac, Carthage, La Marsa, Gammarth, and Sidi Bou Said.
Actual journey time depends on traffic, the exact destination, and the time of day. Transfers to central Tunis are normally shorter than journeys to coastal suburbs and resort areas, while congestion can increase during weekday commuting periods and major events.
A pre-booked private airport transfer provides direct transportation from the terminal to the requested address. Pickup details, passenger numbers, luggage requirements, and vehicle category are arranged before arrival, allowing travellers to continue their journey without searching for transport after their flight.
Private Transfers from TUN Airport
With a private airport transfer, the vehicle is reserved specifically for the passenger or travelling party. The service operates directly to the confirmed hotel, residence, office, port, or onward destination without collecting unrelated travellers.
A sedan may be suitable for individuals and small parties with standard luggage. Families and groups can request a minivan, van, minibus, or coach, depending on local availability. Executive vehicles may also be arranged for corporate travellers, diplomatic visitors, conference delegates, and passengers requiring a more formal service.
English-speaking drivers are available on request. Language availability can vary according to the date, route, and vehicle category, so travellers who require assistance in English should state this when booking.
Transfers to Tunis Airport
Private departure transfers can be arranged from hotels, apartments, private residences, offices, and other locations throughout Greater Tunis. Passengers should provide their flight departure time so that pickup can be planned with sufficient time for traffic, check-in, security, and baggage procedures.
Travellers staying in the Medina should provide the complete accommodation name and address. Some traditional guesthouses and hotels are located along narrow or pedestrian streets that cannot be reached directly by larger vehicles. In such cases, collection may take place at the nearest practical meeting point.
Transportation in Tunis
Tunis has a varied transport network that includes buses, light rail services, suburban trains, regular taxis, shared taxis, app-based booking services, and rental cars. The best option depends on the route, schedule, passenger count, luggage, and familiarity with the city.
Public transport can be economical for local journeys, while taxis are widely used for direct travel. Private transfers and chauffeur services offer a more organised alternative for airport arrivals, business itineraries, families, groups, and travel beyond the capital.
Buses and Light Rail
Municipal buses and the light rail network connect central Tunis with many residential, commercial, and administrative districts. These services can be useful for travellers who know their route and are carrying little luggage.
Public transport may be less convenient immediately after an international flight, particularly for passengers who must change services or continue from a stop to a hotel. Route information may not always be clear to visitors, and crowded vehicles can make travelling with suitcases difficult.
Schedules, routes, and ticketing procedures can change. Passengers intending to use public transport should check current local information rather than relying entirely on older travel guides.
The TGM Suburban Railway
The TGM suburban railway links Tunis with La Goulette, Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, and La Marsa. It is a practical option for independent visitors travelling between central Tunis and the northern coastal suburbs.
The train serves several stations in the Carthage area, which can be useful for sightseeing. However, archaeological sites, hotels, restaurants, and residences may still be some distance from the nearest station.
A private vehicle is more convenient when an itinerary includes several locations, passengers have luggage, or the journey must operate according to a fixed schedule. Chauffeur hire also allows travellers to combine Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, La Marsa, and Gammarth in one planned service.
Regular Taxis
Yellow taxis operate throughout Tunis and are commonly used for short urban journeys. Official taxis are also available outside Tunis–Carthage International Airport.
A regular taxi can be practical for a straightforward local trip when a suitable vehicle is immediately available. Passengers should ensure that the destination is understood and confirm how the fare will be calculated.
Standard city taxis may not provide enough space for larger groups or several suitcases. They are also less suitable for complex itineraries, extended waiting, or intercity travel unless the complete service has been agreed beforehand.
Shared Taxis and Intercity Transport
Shared taxis, commonly known as louages, connect Tunis with towns and cities across Tunisia. They are widely used by local passengers and can provide relatively frequent intercity transportation.
Louages normally depart from designated stations and may wait until the vehicle has enough passengers. Travellers must first reach the correct station and arrange separate transport from the arrival point to their final hotel or address.
A private long-distance transfer offers a direct door-to-door alternative without shared seating, terminal changes, or waiting for other passengers. It is particularly useful for families, groups, and travellers carrying substantial luggage.
Car Rental
Rental cars are available at Tunis Airport and in the city. Self-driving can provide flexibility for travellers planning an independent tour of Tunisia.
Visitors should consider licence requirements, insurance, deposits, parking, fuel arrangements, road conditions, and local driving practices. Traffic in central Tunis can be busy, while parking and access may be difficult around the Medina and popular coastal districts.
Passengers who prefer not to drive can use private transfers for point-to-point journeys or hire a chauffeur-driven vehicle for a full day or multi-day itinerary.
Why Pre-Book a Private Transfer in Tunis?
Pre-booking allows the complete journey to be arranged before travel. The pickup time, destination, passenger count, luggage, vehicle type, and any additional requirements can be confirmed as part of one reservation.
This provides greater predictability than finding a taxi after landing, especially when several flights arrive at the same time or a larger vehicle is required. The assigned transport provider receives the relevant itinerary before the service begins.
A reserved vehicle is particularly valuable for families with children, elderly passengers, corporate guests, organised tours, and groups travelling together. Instead of separating into several taxis, passengers can request a van, minibus, or coach appropriate for the entire party.
Pre-booking is also advisable for destinations outside Tunis. Journeys to Hammamet, Sousse, Bizerte, Kairouan, and other cities require different planning from a short urban taxi ride and should be quoted for the complete route.
Chauffeur Service in Tunis
WelcomeTaxi offers hourly chauffeur service for passengers who need a vehicle for several hours rather than one direct journey. The vehicle and driver remain available during the confirmed service period and follow the agreed itinerary.
Hourly hire can be used for business appointments, diplomatic meetings, city sightseeing, shopping, private events, restaurant visits, hotel inspections, and journeys involving several stops. The service can begin at Tunis Airport, a city hotel, a residence, or another confirmed location.
Passengers should provide the expected duration, approximate route, passenger count, and planned stops when requesting a quotation. Travel outside Greater Tunis should also be mentioned because longer distances may affect the most suitable booking format and vehicle.
Corporate and Executive Transportation
Tunis is Tunisia’s principal centre for government, finance, international organisations, embassies, commerce, education, and professional services. Chauffeur-driven executive cars can be arranged for visiting managers, consultants, officials, conference participants, and business delegations.
A vehicle may operate between Tunis Airport, hotels, offices, Les Berges du Lac, government districts, conference venues, restaurants, and industrial locations. Larger delegations can request coordinated vehicles or a minibus.
Providing the full programme in advance helps organise airport arrivals, meeting schedules, waiting periods, and return journeys more efficiently.
Private Sightseeing in Greater Tunis
Tunis offers a wide range of historic and cultural attractions. The UNESCO-listed Medina contains traditional markets, mosques, historic houses, narrow streets, and monuments that reflect centuries of urban history.
Other major attractions include the Bardo National Museum, Avenue Habib Bourguiba, the modern city centre, and destinations around the Lake of Tunis. Many central locations can be explored on foot, but a chauffeur-driven vehicle is useful when combining several districts in one day.
A private vehicle also makes it easier to continue from central Tunis to Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, La Marsa, and Gammarth without changing between trains, taxis, and local buses.
Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, and the Northern Suburbs
The northern coastal suburbs form one of the most popular visitor areas around Tunis. Carthage is known for archaeological remains from the Punic and Roman periods, while Sidi Bou Said is recognised for its white-and-blue architecture, hillside streets, cafés, and views across the Gulf of Tunis.
La Marsa offers beaches, restaurants, shops, and residential districts, while Gammarth contains hotels, resorts, event venues, and coastal properties. La Goulette is known for its port, restaurants, and ferry connections.
These destinations are connected by local transport, but their attractions are spread over a relatively wide area. A private transfer or hourly chauffeur service provides a practical way to visit several locations according to an individual schedule.
Transfers to La Goulette Port
Private transfers can be arranged between Tunis Airport, city hotels, and the Port of La Goulette. The port serves ferry and cruise traffic and is located east of central Tunis.
Passengers should provide the vessel name, scheduled departure or arrival time, and terminal information when available. Ferry passengers should allow sufficient time for check-in, border procedures, vehicle traffic, and possible seasonal congestion.
Regional Transfers from Tunis
Tunis is a convenient starting point for travel throughout northern and eastern Tunisia. Private transfers can be arranged as one-way journeys, return excursions with waiting time, or stages of a longer itinerary.
The booking request should state whether the driver is expected to remain at the destination. A point-to-point transfer does not automatically include waiting during sightseeing, meetings, or hotel stays.
Tunis to Hammamet and Nabeul
Hammamet is one of Tunisia’s best-known coastal resort destinations. Its hotels, beaches, old medina, marina, and Yasmine Hammamet resort area attract both international and domestic visitors.
Private transfers from Tunis Airport or central Tunis provide direct transportation to hotels and resorts without changing at a bus or louage station. Passengers should provide the complete hotel name because properties can be spread across central Hammamet, the northern hotel zone, and Yasmine Hammamet.
Transfers can also be arranged to Nabeul, known for its markets, ceramics, beaches, and position on the Cap Bon Peninsula.
Tunis to Bizerte
Bizerte is a historic port city north of Tunis, with an old harbour, coastal districts, beaches, and access to northern Tunisia. Private transfers may be required for tourism, family travel, business, port visits, or accommodation outside the city centre.
The exact destination should be supplied in advance, especially for resorts, beaches, industrial sites, or rural properties around the wider Bizerte region.
Cap Bon Peninsula
The Cap Bon Peninsula includes destinations such as Korbous, Kelibia, El Haouaria, and coastal towns around Nabeul Governorate. The region is known for beaches, fishing communities, thermal springs, archaeological locations, and agricultural landscapes.
Public transport connections may require changes and do not always reach remote hotels or private accommodation. A chauffeur-driven vehicle is useful for customised day trips and multi-stop routes around the peninsula.
Dougga and Testour
Dougga is one of Tunisia’s most important Roman archaeological sites and a popular long-distance excursion from Tunis. It is located inland, away from the principal coastal tourism corridor.
A private vehicle provides direct transportation to the site and can be combined with other destinations such as Testour, depending on the planned service duration. Visitors should confirm current opening times and admission arrangements separately.
Long-Distance Transfers from Tunis
WelcomeTaxi can arrange direct road transfers from Tunis to destinations across Tunisia. Long-distance private transportation is especially useful for groups, families, passengers with extensive luggage, and travellers whose hotel is not close to a railway or bus station.
Tunis to Sousse and Monastir
Sousse is a major coastal city and tourism centre known for its medina, marina, beaches, hotels, and nearby resort areas. Private transfers can operate directly from Tunis Airport or a city address to hotels in Sousse, Port El Kantaoui, and surrounding districts.
Journeys may continue to Monastir, which has its own airport, coastal hotels, marina, historic ribat, and city accommodation. Passengers should provide the exact resort or hotel because the tourist zones extend beyond the central urban areas.
Tunis to Kairouan
Kairouan is one of Tunisia’s most important historic and religious cities. It is known for its medina, traditional crafts, and major Islamic monuments.
A private transfer offers direct travel from Tunis without the need to navigate intercity terminals. The journey can be booked as a one-way transfer or as a return excursion with an agreed waiting period.
Tunis to El Jem, Mahdia, and Sfax
El Jem is known for its monumental Roman amphitheatre and is frequently included in cultural itineraries through Tunisia. Mahdia is a coastal city with beaches, historic quarters, and resort accommodation, while Sfax is an important commercial and industrial centre.
These destinations can be reached by rail or other public transport, but a private transfer provides direct service to the final address and allows travellers to include planned stops along the route.
Tunis to Djerba and Southern Tunisia
Long-distance transfers can also be requested from Tunis to Djerba, Gabès, Matmata, Tozeur, and other destinations in southern Tunisia. These journeys cover substantial distances and require careful planning.
For very long routes, domestic flights or rail travel may be more practical for some passengers. Private transportation remains useful for groups, multi-stop itineraries, specialised luggage, and destinations not conveniently served by scheduled transport.
Multi-day journeys should include all cities, overnight locations, planned mileage, and sightseeing stops. Driver accommodation, working hours, fuel, and vehicle suitability may affect availability and pricing.
Useful Travel Information for Tunis
Arabic is Tunisia’s official language, while French is widely used in business, hospitality, transport, and daily communication. English is spoken in many hotels and tourism businesses but should not be expected from every local taxi driver. An English-speaking driver should be requested in advance.
The official currency is the Tunisian dinar. Bank cards are accepted in many hotels, restaurants, and larger businesses, although cash remains useful for taxis, markets, cafés, and smaller purchases.
Tunis has hot, dry summers and generally mild winters. Air-conditioned transportation is particularly important during the warmer months, especially for airport transfers and long-distance journeys.
Traffic can be busy in central Tunis and on major roads during commuting periods. Travel times may also increase near the airport, La Goulette, coastal suburbs, and popular event locations.
Visitors should provide complete hotel names and addresses. Similar property names, narrow Medina streets, and large resort zones can otherwise make identification difficult.
Travellers planning journeys near international borders or into remote areas should check current official travel advice and local access requirements. WelcomeTaxi provides transportation but does not determine visa eligibility, security restrictions, or entry permission.
Booking Transfers and Chauffeur Services in Tunis
To request transportation, provide the travel date, pickup time, complete pickup and destination addresses, passenger count, and luggage details. Airport bookings should also include the flight number and scheduled arrival or departure time.
For port transfers, provide the vessel and terminal details when available. For hourly chauffeur service, include the expected duration and approximate itinerary. Long-distance requests should list all planned stops and the final destination.
Passengers requiring child seats, oversized luggage, several pickup points, wheelchair-accessible transportation, or a specific vehicle category should mention these requirements before confirmation. Special equipment and particular vehicles remain subject to local availability.
Whether the booking is a short transfer from TUN Airport, a chauffeur-driven day around Tunis and Carthage, or a long-distance journey across Tunisia, advance reservation provides a clearer and more comfortable transportation plan.
