Route 1 (A1 motorway) called as Trans-African Highway network passes through Tunisia, linking it to North African nations including Algeria, Morocco, Libya, and Egypt, and West African nations via Mauritania. Moreover, a feeder road connects Tunisia to the Trans-Sahara Highway, extending from Algeria to West Africa. A3 (Tunis to Boussalem ) and A4 (Tunis to Bizerte) are two other toll roads that exist in Tunisia. Also, A2 motorway(Tunis to Jilma) is under construction.

Tunisian autoroutes<ref name="Tunisia">[https://www.tunisieautoroutes.tn/en/price/ Tunisian autoroutes]</ref> manage the country's toll roads. Their network includes major routes connecting Tunis, the capital, to other cities like Bizerte, Sfax, and Bou Salem. The Tunisian autoroute network is expanding, with the A1 planned to reach the Libyan border in the south and the A3 aiming to connect with Algeria in the northwest.

These highways offer a faster and more convenient way to travel between major Tunisian cities compared to national roads.

Opting for a toll tag is the favored method for toll payment due to its discounted rates and versatility at various parking facilities. In Tunisia, this toll tag is referred to as: <b>TÉLÉPEAGE</b> . However, keeping cash handy is always recommended as some of these electronic plazas may not be functioning properly.

Do I Need to Pay Tolls in Tunisia? 2025 Update

Partially. Tunisia operates a selective toll system where major autoroutes (highways) have toll sections while many secondary roads remain free. The 600+ km autoroutes network includes both tolled and toll-free segments.

Key Reality: Most tourist routes between major cities (Tunis-Sfax, Tunis-Bizerte, Tunis-Hammamet) involve tolls ranging from TND 1.2 to TND 4.5 per journey.

2025 Update: A1 extension to Ben Guerdane (Libya border) nears completion, with enhanced fiber-optic toll infrastructure and expanded telepeage electronic payment coverage.

Tunisia Toll Costs: Current Rates

Tunisia's toll system operates on both open toll (pay per section) and closed toll (pay based on entry/exit points) depending on the autoroute.

Current Toll Rates by Vehicle Class (2025)

Vehicle Class Vehicle Types Rate Factor Height Limit
Class 1 Cars, motorcycles, light vehicles Base rate (1.0x) Under 1.3m front axle
Class 2 Vans, light commercial, campers 1.5x base rate Over 1.3m front axle, 2-3 axles
Class 3 Trucks, buses (2 axles) 2.0x base rate Commercial vehicles, 2-axle trucks
Class 4 Heavy trucks (3+ axles) 3.0x base rate Multi-axle trucks, trailers

Tunis - Oued Zarga (A3) 67 km TND 1.8 - 2.2 Closed toll (6 stations)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I avoid tolls completely in Tunisia?

Yes, toll-free national roads parallel most autoroute sections, though travel times increase significantly. Urban ring roads and coastal routes often remain toll-free.

Is telepeage worth it for tourists?

For short visits, cash payment is usually more practical. Telepeage benefits become apparent for trips exceeding TND 30 in tolls or frequent travel.

Can I pay with foreign currency?

No, only Tunisian Dinars are accepted. Exchange currency before traveling on toll roads, or use international credit/debit cards where accepted.

What if I don't speak Arabic or French?

Toll amounts are displayed numerically on screens, and many toll attendants understand basic English numbers. Emergency assistance is available via call buttons.

Are there toll discounts available?

Tunisia doesn't offer tourist discounts, but telepeage subscribers with prepaid accounts receive regular user benefits and faster processing.
