Renting a car at Sfax Airport is the best way to discover Tunisia's second city and its extraordinary surroundings. Sfax-Thyna International Airport, identified by the IATA code SFA, is the gateway to the country's economic capital — a city of over 600,000 inhabitants that drives much of Tunisia's commerce, industry, and olive oil production. With your own vehicle, you gain the freedom to explore the historic medina, reach the Kerkennah Islands ferry port, drive to the UNESCO-listed amphitheater at El Jem, and venture south along the coast toward Gabes and Djerba.
With 3A Rent Car, your car hire experience at Sfax Airport is seamless from the moment you land. Our transparent pricing means no deposit, no credit card hold, and no hidden fees. Full comprehensive insurance and unlimited kilometres are included in every booking.

We offer a diverse fleet ranging from affordable economy cars at 22€/day to spacious minivans for groups, with corporate billing available for business travellers.
The cultural heritage of Sfax is remarkable. The medina, enclosed by 9th-century ramparts that are among the most complete in the Maghreb, is a living testament to centuries of Tunisian civilisation. Inside, the traditional souks bustle with artisans and merchants, while the Dar Jellouli palace-museum preserves the refined art of 17th-century Sfaxian life. Just offshore, the Kerkennah Islands offer pristine beaches, the ancestral charfia fishing technique, and a tranquil escape from the mainland — all accessible by a short drive to the port and a 1h15 ferry crossing.
Sfax is also ideally positioned for exploring the wider region. The Roman amphitheater of El Jem, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the 3rd largest in the world, is just 50 minutes away by car. The vast olive groves of the Sahel that surround the route are a reminder of why this region has been called the olive oil heartland of Tunisia since antiquity. Whether you choose a compact car for city errands, a sedan for coastal drives to Mahdia, or an SUV for longer expeditions south, 3A Rent Car has the right vehicle for your Sfax adventure. Book now and explore Tunisia's economic capital with complete peace of mind.
