KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Tunis
- There’s no better way to explore this sprawling Tunisian capital than with a car. By arranging a car hire in Tunis, you have the freedom to do things on your own terms. Discover the centuries-old Medina and experience the souks for a sensory extravaganza. The Bardo Museum houses a world-renowned collection of ancient mosaics, or you can drive out to La Goulette, a port suburb offering ocean views and golden beaches away from the hustle and bustle of the centre. Around 10 miles outside of Tunis lies the ruins of the ancient city of Carthage. Today, it’s a world-famous archaeological wonder and UNESCO world heritage site that’s unmissable when travelling to Tunis.
- The Tunis-Carthage International Airport is a short 5-mile drive from the Medina of Tunis. In the arrival hall of the airport, you’ll find a wide selection of top car hire firms. The likes of Hertz, Avis, Sixt and Budget will set you up with your Tunis car hire in no time. Exit the airport and take the A1 motorway directly into the city centre. The journey time is approximately 15min, taking into account the usual traffic.
- Driving in Tunis can be rather chaotic, although an experience that’s for sure. Rules of the road are generally not followed in the same way they are in the UK. You will have to pay extra attention to cars and scooters passing from either side as well as pedestrians crossing the road and dodging through traffic without warning. Motorways are well-maintained, although you will have to pay a toll (around £1-£2) on the A1 between Tunis and Sousse. Driving is on the right side of the road and signs are often in both Arabic and French, so it’s advisable to arrange a sat nav with your car hire in Tunis regardless.
- Rush hour tends to be between the hours of 08:00-09:00 and 16:00-18:00, yet traffic in Tunis can be hectic all hours of the day and night. Roads such as the A1 heading in and out of Tunis are usually pretty clear and make for more pleasant driving between cities. Bear in mind that it is extremely hot in Tunis and keeping water in your car at all times is essential.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Tunis for $39 or less
- Book your rental car in Tunis at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate rental cars in Tunis are around 51% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting a car in Tunis
What type of car is recommended for driving in Tunis?

Pros:
Agent did not have the reservation. Was finally able to find me a car. When I objected that it had no air conditioning, agent decided to give me a "good" car. It had A/C which worked. Car was extremely dirty, full of digs and dents, no hub caps, and tank was almost empty. I was repeatedly told that the parking fee was paid and that I did not have to pay anything on the way out, guess what. The parking fee was not paid with lots of angry drivers behind trying to get out. Poor car, extremely poor service. I cannot believe this was Budget!Cons:

Pros:
Once we found the agent, she was nice, but it took a while to find her - Budget just doesn't have a counter at the airport!Cons:
Other than having to talk my way in a strange airport in order to find the Budget rep (no counter) in a café, the car was... a bit beat... the manual gear was particularly hard and couldn't get in first in crazy traffic.6.0 Okay

Pros:
Although I prefer Sixt but this time I reserved a Europcar with confirmation number 1091412074 in Tunis intl Airport To my surprise and dismay your agent said Europcar In Tunisia do not accept Amex as a policy. I tried talking to a manager and she said the same thing. I had to cancel my meeting appointment for that night and look for another car to rent by another agency and pay prime price for last minute reservation, so I found Sixt as a life saver. I will file a complaint with Amex also. I find this experience very disturbing and inconvenient and I think your agent didn’t want Amex to save some banking fees. Also note that i will rate Europcar on all websites and alert travelers about this location poor customer service. Thank you and never again.Cons:
