Getting from Tunis Airport to Hammamet
Tunis-Carthage International Airport (TUN) is the main gateway for international visitors to Tunisia. Located about 75 km north of Hammamet, the journey takes approximately 1 hour 15 minutes by road via the A1 motorway. While there is no direct train or bus connection, several transport options are available to reach Hammamet comfortably.
Option 1: Private Transfer (Recommended)
A private transfer is the most comfortable and stress-free way to reach Hammamet. With Leasys Rent A Car, a professional driver meets you at the arrivals exit holding a sign with your name. The vehicle is air-conditioned, clean, and the price is fixed in advance -- no negotiation, no meter running, no surprises.
- Price: fixed rate per vehicle, up to 4 passengers -- contact us for a quote
- Duration: approximately 1h15
- Advantages: door-to-door service, flight tracking, luggage handling, available 24/7
- Booking: via WhatsApp, confirmed within 30 minutes
Option 2: Taxi
Official taxis are available at the airport, but the experience can be inconsistent. Meters may not always be used for long-distance trips, leading to price negotiation which can be stressful after a long flight. Prices vary depending on the driver and time of day.
- Price: variable and negotiable, often higher at night
- Duration: 1h15-1h30
- Drawbacks: unpredictable pricing, potential waiting time, vehicle quality varies
Option 3: Louage (Shared Minivan)
Louages are shared minivans that run between cities. They are the cheapest option, but require getting to the louage station first (there is no louage service directly from the airport). You would need to take a taxi to the Bab Alioua station in central Tunis, then wait for a louage to Hammamet.
- Price: the cheapest option overall, combining louage fare and taxi to station
- Duration: 2-3 hours total (including waiting time)
- Drawbacks: multiple transfers, unpredictable schedule, no luggage space guarantee
What About Enfidha Airport?
If you are flying with a charter or low-cost airline, you may land at Enfidha-Hammamet Airport (NBE), which is much closer to Hammamet -- only 45 km away, about 40 minutes by road. A private transfer from Enfidha is more affordable than from Tunis. Contact us for a quote.
Tips for a Smooth Arrival
- Book your transfer before you fly. Having a driver waiting removes all arrival stress.
- Share your flight number so the driver can track any delays and adjust accordingly.
- Have some Tunisian dinars ready. You can exchange at the airport, but amounts are limited. Most transfers accept cash in EUR, GBP, or USD as well.
- Keep your luggage receipts. If bags are delayed, having your transfer pre-booked means the driver will wait for you.
- Night arrivals: private transfers are especially recommended for late-night flights when taxis are scarce and prices inflate.
