Self-Drive Car Rental in Tunisia

Tunisia drives on the right-hand side of the road, following continental European conventions. Speed limits are generally 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on national roads, and 110 km/h on motorways. Always carry your driving licence, passport, and rental documents with you.

Fuel stations are widely available throughout the country, especially along the main highways and in towns. The main motorways — A1 (Tunis to Sfax), A3 (Tunis to Oued Zarga), and A4 (Tunis to Bizerte) — are excellent, modern toll roads with well-maintained surfaces. A GPS device is recommended for navigating rural areas and smaller villages, and is available as an add-on with your rental.

Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers. Driving at night in rural areas requires extra caution due to occasional unlit obstacles. Roundabouts are common in Tunisian cities — vehicles already in the roundabout have priority. With these basics in mind, driving in Tunisia is a safe and enjoyable way to explore the country.

There is no better way to discover Tunisia than behind the wheel of your own rental car. A self-drive car rental gives you the freedom to explore at your own rhythm, without the constraints of group tours or fixed itineraries. Tunisia boasts an excellent road network that makes independent travel both easy and enjoyable. The A1 motorway connecting Tunis to Sfax provides a fast, modern highway running the length of the eastern coast, while scenic national roads wind through olive groves, coastal cliffs, and ancient Roman sites waiting to be discovered.

From the vibrant capital Tunis and the ruins of Carthage, drive south along the Sahel coast road through Hammamet, Sousse, and Monastir, where golden beaches meet centuries-old medinas. Loop around the Cap Bon peninsula for pottery markets in Nabeul, the dramatic cliffs of El Haouaria, and the Punic ruins of Kerkouane. Head further south to the holy city of Kairouan, the Roman amphitheatre of El Jem, and the desert oases of Tozeur and Douz, where the Sahara begins. Every road in Tunisia leads to a new adventure, and a self-drive rental puts you in complete control.
