eTaxi for the Tunisian diaspora
Book a taxi in Tunisia from anywhere in the world
You live in France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Canada or elsewhere, and you need a taxi in Tunisia: for your parents, to pick up a cousin at the airport, or to prepare your own holiday arrival. eTaxi lets you book from abroad with your international credit card — no phone call, no middleman. The driver gets the ride in Arabic or French depending on the area, and you get the confirmation and live tracking on your phone, even from 2,000 km away.
Typical diaspora use cases
Pick up a relative at the airport
Your mother lands at Tunis-Carthage at 11pm after a Paris flight. You book the transfer from Paris: the driver waits in arrivals with a name sign, you watch the route live, you pay with your French card.
Taxi for parents in Tunisia
Your elderly parents in Sousse don't use apps. You book them a taxi from home to the hospital, market or doctor from your phone in Brussels. The driver calls them 5 min before arrival. You pay remotely.
Prepare your holiday arrival
You're flying with family and luggage to Djerba next week. Pre-book the airport-hotel transfer before you take off. No haggling on arrival, fixed price in dinars converted from euros.
Gift a ride to a relative in Tunisia
Birthday, holiday, wedding: gift a relative back in Tunisia a paid taxi ride. Booked under your name, paid with your foreign card, the recipient gets in without paying anything.
