Car rental Gabes made simple: VIPCAR runs a real office in Gabès, one of its three offices in Tunisia alongside the Tunis head office (Lac 2) and the Djerba-Zarzis airport office. Whether you are arriving for an assignment in the industrial zone, a family visit in the oasis or a road trip to Matmata, Douz and Ksar Ghilane, you collect your car at the hub or we deliver it to the address you choose. Sedans for business travel, SUVs and Toyota Hilux pick-ups for the roads of the south, small cars for the city: every car rental in Gabes includes 300 km per day, basic insurance and a refundable deposit that is your maximum liability. Send your dates on WhatsApp and you get a fixed quote in TND, 24/7.
A car rental hub in Gabès, open 24/7
VIPCAR is present in Gabès with vehicles and a team on the ground, not a drop-off point managed from afar. The Gabès office is one of VIPCAR's three offices in Tunisia, together with the head office at Les Berges du Lac 2 in Tunis and the office at Djerba-Zarzis airport. In practice, car rental in Gabes is arranged with people who know the city, its main roads and the routes to the south, and who are there when you arrive.
You can collect the car at the hub or ask for delivery to your hotel, office or site. Everything goes through WhatsApp on +216 55 771 077, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: send your dates, pick-up point and preferred category, and you receive a fixed written quote in TND with the euro conversion. No payment is required to get a quote, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pick-up.
Delivery in Gabès and across the region
Delivery of your car rental in Gabès happens where you are, so you never have to cross the city to fetch the keys. The exact point and time are confirmed at booking.
Flying in? Delivery and collection are free at Djerba-Zarzis (DJE), Tunis-Carthage (TUN) and Enfidha-Hammamet (NBE) airports. Many of our Gabès customers land in Djerba and return the car in Gabès, or the other way round: the one-way option is explained further down.
- Gabès city centre, railway station and residential districts
- The Chenini oasis and the seafront area
- Hotels, residences and holiday apartments
- Offices, the industrial zone, the port area and project sites
- Nearby towns — Mareth, El Hamma, Matmata — on request, confirmed at booking
Business travel to Gabès
Every week Gabès receives consultants, project teams, technicians and managers travelling to the industrial zone, the port area or sites across the region. For these stays, the most requested car rental Gabes option is a sedan: a Volkswagen Passat or Toyota Corolla to chain meetings and trips on the national road in comfort, or a compact such as the Volkswagen Golf 8 for a colleague travelling alone. Teams heading to sites prefer a Toyota Hilux pick-up or an SUV, and the car is waiting at the hotel or office at the agreed time.
Renting for a company? VIPCAR works with businesses under a framework contract: agreed rates, priority availability, monthly invoicing by bank transfer, purchase orders and a dedicated account manager. See our corporate car rental offer in Tunisia and our executive chauffeur service for your executives and guests.
SUVs and pick-ups for the south: Matmata, Douz, Ksar Ghilane
Gabès is the gateway to southern Tunisia. From the hub you reach the troglodyte houses of Matmata, the dunes of Douz and, for the more adventurous, the oasis of Ksar Ghilane. For these itineraries, choose a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado or a Toyota RAV4 on tarmac roads; the Toyota Hilux pick-up is the choice for sites and loads. Today's rate for the Hilux, RAV4 and Prado, with the lower weekly and monthly tiers, is on each vehicle page.
One simple rule: sand tracks and off-tarmac stretches must be declared at booking, so that we recommend the right vehicle and the contract matches your programme. Fill up before heading south, where fuel stations are further apart, and keep in mind the 300 km per day included, which accumulate over the whole rental.
Gabès ↔ Djerba, Sfax, Tunis: one-way available
You can pick up the car in Gabès and return it in Djerba or Tunis, or do the reverse. One-way rentals between our offices and the airports carry a fee of €70 to €100 depending on the route, confirmed at booking before you commit. It is the typical formula for a traveller who lands at Djerba-Zarzis airport, works a few days in Gabès, then flies out of Tunis-Carthage.
Sfax, further north on the coast, is an easy drive for a working day or a stopover, within the 300 km per day included. For a stay that starts on the island, see our car rental Djerba page; for an arrival in the capital, the car is delivered free in the arrivals hall at Tunis-Carthage, with an agent waiting with a name sign.

Monthly rental in Gabès for assignments and projects
A multi-week assignment in Gabès costs less per day than a string of short rentals. Every vehicle page shows lower weekly and monthly rates: on a Toyota Corolla, for example, the price per day drops markedly at the monthly tier (exact price on the car page). Beyond one month we prepare a tailored quote based on duration, area of use and expected mileage.
The 300 km per day accumulate over the period; for heavy use between Gabès, the sites and the south, mileage conditions are adapted to the contract. The car can be exchanged or extended during the rental with a simple WhatsApp message, or through your account manager if you are on a framework contract. All formulas are detailed on our long-term car rental in Tunisia page, and companies benefit from formal monthly invoicing.
Chauffeur and transfers from Gabès
Prefer not to drive? VIPCAR provides a Mercedes E-Class or V-Class with a professional French- and English-speaking driver, by the hour, the day or over several days, from Gabès to any destination in Tunisia. It is the solution for visiting executives, delegations and teams moving between sites without worrying about the road. Outside Greater Tunis and Djerba, a fuel and driver accommodation supplement applies and is stated clearly in the quote.
Private transfers from Djerba-Zarzis, Tunis-Carthage or Enfidha airports to Gabès run 24/7, with a name sign at arrivals and flight tracking, at a fixed price agreed before travel. There is no public price list for chauffeur and transfer services: each journey gets a fixed quote on WhatsApp. For your staff and guests, discover our executive chauffeur service for companies.
