Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Car Rental in Tunisia

What type of car is best for a road trip in Tunisia?

The choice of vehicle depends on your itinerary. For visiting cities like Tunis, Sousse, and Hammamet and driving along the coastal roads, an "Economy" or "Compact" car is perfect and easy to park. If you plan to explore the Saharan tracks near Douz and Tozeur or the mountainous regions of the Northwest, renting an SUV or 4x4 is highly recommended for more comfort, safety, and better ground clearance. Our agencies, including at Tunis-Carthage Airport, offer all these categories. Book your vehicle now.

Is it easy to drive and park in Tunisia?

The Tunisian highway code is similar to the European one. Driving on highways and main national roads is generally smooth and the road conditions are good. In cities (Tunis, Sfax), traffic can be dense and the driving style more dynamic; vigilance is required, especially at roundabouts. Parking can be a challenge in city centers, but many paid parking lots are available. Using a GPS is recommended. Be sure to respect speed limits, which are often monitored by radar.

What documents and insurance are required to rent a car?

To rent a vehicle in Tunisia with 3A Rent Car, you must present a valid driver's license (national or international depending on your country of origin) and a valid passport. The minimum age is generally 21 with at least one year of driving experience. All our rentals include basic insurance (CDW), but we strongly recommend taking out comprehensive insurance to reduce the deductible in case of damage. Read your rental contract carefully, which details all conditions and includes our 24/7 assistance service. View our insurance options.

What are the best itineraries to discover Tunisia by car?

Tunisia offers incredible diversity of landscapes to discover by car. The classic North-South circuit takes you from Tunis to Sousse, Monastir, Mahdia, Sfax, Gabès, to Djerba. For nature lovers, the coastal route along the Mediterranean Sea offers beautiful scenery. The south of the country, with its oases and sand dunes, is ideal for adventurers. Our Tunisia itinerary guide provides detailed maps and tips for each region.

What is the average cost of renting a car in Tunisia?

Rental prices vary according to season, vehicle type and duration. Generally, an economy car costs between €35 and €60 per day in high season, while an SUV can cost between €60 and €100. For significant savings, opt for long-term rental (more than 7 days) which can reduce the daily price by 20-30%. Check our special offers and promotions regularly updated.
