Taxi Pricing in Tunisia: Complete Rate Guide 2026
Taxi Pricing in Tunisia: Complete Rate Guide 2026
Understanding taxi pricing in Tunisia can be confusing — there are different tariff tiers for city rides, intercity transfers, and airport pickups. Here's a plain-English breakdown of every rate you'll encounter with E-Taxi, complete with worked examples.
Three pricing tiers explained
Standard (metered)
Standard rides use the official metered tariff — best for short urban trips.
- Base fare: 3.5 DT
- Per km: 0.5 DT
- Waiting time: 0.15 DT/min (after the first 10 free minutes)
- Luggage: 1 DT per bag
Formula: `Total = 3.5 DT + (distance in km × 0.5 DT)`
Example: 10 km city ride → 3.5 + (10 × 0.5) = 8.5 DT
PRO (fixed price)
PRO is E-Taxi's intercity and long-distance service. The price is fixed before departure and confirmed by SMS — no meter, no surprises at the end of a 3-hour drive.
- Base fare: 5 DT
- Per km: 0.8 DT (guide rate — actual prices for intercity routes are fixed at market level)
- Minimum: 12 DT

| ------- | ---------- | ----------------- |
| Tunis → Hammamet | 65 km | 35–55 DT |

PRO vs Standard: which should you choose?
Choose Standard if: you're taking a short city ride (under 15 km) and a metered taxi is readily available.
Choose PRO if: you're travelling intercity, going to/from an airport, or want price certainty. For any journey over 30–40 km, PRO is almost always worth it — you know exactly what you'll pay before you get in the car.
Payment methods
- Cash (TND): accepted in all taxis
- Bank transfer: available for corporate accounts with monthly billing
- Credit/debit cards: not available directly in vehicle
How to book and get your price confirmed

FAQ — Taxi Prices in Tunisia
How much does a taxi from Tunis airport to the city centre cost? Approximately 10–20 DT for the airport-to-centre run (about 8 km). With the 10 DT airport surcharge, a 20-km ride to La Marsa costs around 24 DT.
Is it safe to negotiate taxi prices in Tunisia? Street taxis (yellow cabs) are required by law to use the meter. For intercity trips, negotiate a fixed price before departure — or pre-book with E-Taxi for a guaranteed rate.
