Airport transfers from monastir to skanes?

I have been trying to book a transfer for October. 5 of us will be staying in the hotel Saadia. I really need to be able to stop worrying about the return transfer I know you can get taxis at the airport the price i have been quoted is 75 pounds return they said we need 2 cars is that normal?
thanks for any advice

The Hotel Saadia is located in Skanes, and Skanes is where the airport is.

Skanes is part of the city of Monastir. At one point in history they used to be separate cities, but with time and expansion, they have merged into one. Skanes is where most of the hotels are located, and also where the Monasir Airport is. It is the halfway point between Sousse and the actual city of Monastir.

There is no way that a taxi will cost you 75GBP. I live on the very opposite part of Monastir (about a 20 minute drive from the airport) and a taxi only costs about 7TDN to go that far.

Here is some conversion for you:
1TDN = 拢0.38, 拢1=2.600TDN
1TDN = 鈧?.57, 鈧?=1.762TDN
1TDN = $0.78, $1=1.278TDN

A normal taxi does not charge by the person, but by how far you go. Depending on how much luggage you have will determine if you need more than one taxi or not. Since you are so close to the airport, I am guessing that the fare will not be more than 1TDN, possibly 2TDN. If you take two taxis just double that, but it still will cost you less than 5TDN.

Taxis are a staple in Skanes and there are always between 2-5 taxis waiting at each hotel, so don't worry about finding one. You can even ask the hotel staff to call a taxi for you to ensure it's presence if you are worried about one being available for you.

a private taxi is around five dinars, a public i am sure is around one. i am sorry i have not quite figured out the money yet! i have been to the airport in Skanes, you could walk to the hotel! its not far. i would stop worrying, there are many taxi's around both areas! enjoy it is great!
