“Honest local company. No hidden fees, transparent contract and they really wait for you even at 2 AM. Way better value than the big international chains.”
A Tunisian story built on friendship, transparency and a genuine love of service.
Back in 2015, three childhood friends from Hammamet — Achref, Ala and Ahmed — decided to start their own car rental agency. The name 3A? The initials of their first names, a symbol of an adventure that began with friendship and mutual trust.
Ten years later, 3A Rent Car has become a reference for car rental in Tunisia. Our fleet counts 50+ recent vehicles, we operate at the 5 international airports in the country, and we welcome travelers from all over Europe, North Africa and beyond.
What hasn't changed since 2015: our commitment to transparent service with no hidden fees, and a warm welcome in English, French and Arabic. Every customer deserves to be treated like a friend visiting Hammamet.
All of our contact details are public and verifiable via Google Maps, Facebook and our Google Business Profile.
Three childhood friends from Hammamet who built 3A Rent Car on a simple idea: treat every traveler like a friend.

This table is a factual summary to help travelers compare before booking. It is not intended to evaluate any specific named agency.
Before booking a car in Tunisia, learn to spot the warning signs. This section is purely educational and aims to protect travelers.
A legitimate website always displays a full postal address that can be located on Google Maps. A missing address is a major red flag.
Be wary of an agency with no Google review history, or with 20 five-star reviews all posted the same week. A review history spread over several years is the sign of real activity.
If a price is two or three times below market, be cautious: hidden fees, non-existent vehicles, fake insurance... A fair price is usually the sign of real service.
An agency demanding 100% upfront payment via Western Union, crypto or mobile money, with no secure credit card option, should immediately raise concerns.
At pickup, you should always sign a written contract detailing the vehicle, its condition, the terms, the deposit and the insurance. Without a contract, you have no legal recourse.
A legitimate deposit is either pre-authorized on a credit card, or taken by check or traceable bank transfer. A cash-only deposit not documented in the contract is a serious red flag.
A public address in Hammamet, 500+ Google reviews spread over 10+ years, fair and transparent pricing, secure payment on site or online, a written contract every time, and a traceable refundable deposit. You can verify everything before you even contact us.
Everything travelers ask us before booking.
A trustworthy car rental agency in Tunisia should meet several verifiable criteria: a real physical address that can be located on Google Maps, a working Tunisian phone number that actually answers, a secure HTTPS website, a significant number of authentic Google reviews spread over time, a clear written contract handed over at pickup, and a traceable deposit (credit card or check, never cash). 3A Rent Car checks every one of these boxes: an address in Hammamet, 4.9/5 with 500+ Google reviews, licensed agency, HTTPS site, transparent contract and a fully refundable deposit.
Yes. 3A Rent Car is a car rental company officially registered and licensed in Tunisia, based in Hammamet (Rue Hassan Hosni Abdulwaheb, 8050 Nabeul). Founded in 2015 by three Tunisian partners (Achref, Ala and Ahmed), the agency holds the required operating licenses, professional fleet insurance and airport authorizations to operate at all 5 Tunisian international airports: Tunis-Carthage (TUN), Enfidha-Hammamet (NBE), Monastir (MIR), Djerba-Zarzis (DJE) and Sfax-Thyna (SFA).
Yes, our reviews are 100% authentic and verified by Google. The Google Reviews system allows only one review per Google account per business, and each review is timestamped and linked to a real user profile. Our 500+ reviews (4.9/5 average) have been posted over more than 10 years by English, French and Arabic speaking customers from across Europe and North Africa. You can browse all of them directly on our Google Business Profile by searching "3A Rent Car Hammamet".
In case of a dispute, always start by contacting the agency in writing (email) to create a paper trail. If the conversation does not lead anywhere, you can file a complaint with the Tunisian National Consumer Protection Authority (INC), or, for foreign travelers, contact your travel insurance and your embassy. Always keep the rental contract, the joint vehicle inspection (dated photos at pickup and return), payment receipts, and any written exchanges. At 3A Rent Car, we always aim for a fast amicable resolution: an English-speaking contact is reachable at +216 22 205 450 for any claim.
An established local agency like 3A Rent Car offers several concrete advantages: prices up to 40% lower than large international chains, deep local knowledge (roads, customs, tourist sites), direct English-speaking customer service without going through a foreign call center, real flexibility on pickup and return times, and a single point of contact from the first inquiry to the end of the rental. Big international brands offer a reassuring brand name, but at a higher cost and with standardization that leaves little room for personalization.
