Official taxis
Yellow metered taxis wait outside arrivals at every airport. The official approach: insist on the meter ('compteur, s'il vous plaît') before you get in. A 50% night surcharge applies after 9pm. Have small notes — drivers rarely have change for a 50 TND.
If the meter is 'broken', agree the fare in writing on a piece of paper before you start. Or step back and try the next car. This is the most common minor scam in Tunisia and easy to avoid.
