Car rental Tunisia made simple: VIPCAR has been renting cars in Tunisia since 2001, with a fleet of 250+ vehicles based in Tunis, Gabès and Djerba. Whether you land at Tunis-Carthage, Djerba-Zarzis or Enfidha, need a small car for a week by the sea or a sedan for a three-month assignment, this page gives you the essentials of car rental in Tunisia: how booking works, which category fits, what is included, the exact deposit for each tier and where you can collect the car. Every rental includes 300 km per day, basic insurance and free delivery at all three airports.

How car rental in Tunisia works with VIPCAR
Renting a car in Tunisia with VIPCAR takes four steps, with no phone call required and nothing to pay for the quote. Everything is done in writing, on WhatsApp at +216 55 771 077 or from the booking page, at any hour.
Cancellation and modification are free up to 24 hours before pick-up; refunds are processed within 5–7 business days.
- Send your dates, your pick-up point (airport, hotel or agency) and, if you are flying in, your flight number.
- You receive a fixed quote in TND, with the EUR equivalent, for the car and period you asked for.
- Booking more than 7 days ahead: a 10% reservation deposit (standard cars) or 20% (luxury) confirms the vehicle. Within 7 days it is optional or subject to availability.
- On the day, the car is waiting at the agreed point: contract signed, security deposit held on your card, fuel level checked. You return it at the same level, full-to-full.

Car rental Tunisia conditions: what is included
The price shown for car rental Tunisia at VIPCAR is not a teaser: it already includes what many counters add on later.
Extras such as a child seat, an additional driver or GPS are optional and confirmed at booking. The full wording is in our deposit policy and terms and conditions.
- 300 km per day included, cumulative over the rental period.
- Basic third-party insurance included; no CDW or extra insurance package is sold.
- Fuel full-to-full: you return the car at the level it was delivered.
- Free delivery and collection at Tunis-Carthage, Djerba-Zarzis and Enfidha-Hammamet airports.

Deposit by category: your maximum liability
The security deposit is held on your card during the rental, not charged, and returned in full when the car comes back in good condition. It replaces insurance packages: whatever happens, nothing is charged beyond it.
The exact amount is shown on each car page before you book. Credit and debit cards are both accepted. A deposit applies to every rental: it is precisely what caps your risk, so there is no excess to negotiate and no upsell at handover.

- Standard: 5,000 TND.
- Luxury: 6,000–8,000 TND.
Pick-up points: airports, hubs, hotels
Car rental in Tunisia usually starts at an airport. A VIPCAR agent waits for you in arrivals at Tunis-Carthage (TUN), Djerba-Zarzis (DJE) or Enfidha-Hammamet (NBE), day or night, with no delivery charge.
One-way rentals between Tunis, Djerba and Gabès, airports included, are allowed: a fee of €70–€100 applies depending on the route, confirmed at booking.
- Tunis: head office at Lac 2, Rue de la Feuille d'Érable, and delivery across Greater Tunis.
- Djerba: office at Djerba-Zarzis airport, delivery to the tourist zone and Zarzis.
- Gabès: local hub, the gateway to Matmata and the south.
- Hotels, residences, offices: place and time confirmed at booking, almost anywhere in Tunisia.
Long-term and monthly car rental
For a stay of several weeks, an assignment or a move to Tunisia, monthly car rental in Tunisia costs noticeably less per day. Every car page shows its lower weekly and monthly rates, so the price is visible before you ask. The 300 km per day accumulate over the whole period, and mileage conditions can be adapted on contract for heavy use. The deposit, basic insurance and 24/7 assistance stay the same. Beyond one month we prepare a tailored quote, with delivery to your home, office or airport and month-by-month extension subject to availability. Our dedicated long-term car rental page details the tiers, the models that suit a long stay and how servicing and vehicle exchange are provided for in the contract.
Renting for a company?
Companies, NGOs, diplomatic missions, DMCs and hotels make up a large share of car rental in Tunisia at VIPCAR. A corporate account runs on a framework contract: agreed rates, priority availability, monthly invoicing by bank transfer with purchase orders, and a dedicated account manager who handles extensions and vehicle exchanges. 300 km per day remain the standard, with mileage conditions adapted to the contract. Vehicles are delivered to the office, the site or the airport in Tunis, Gabès, Djerba and anywhere in Tunisia.
For executives and guests, our executive chauffeur service (Mercedes E-Class and V-Class, French- and English-speaking drivers) covers meeting days, roadshows and events with a single coordinator. Both offers are detailed on our company pages, and opening an account takes three steps from the Corporate page.
Why VIPCAR for car rental in Tunisia
Since 2001, VIPCAR has run car rental Tunisia with its own vehicles and its own teams in three offices: Tunis Lac 2, Gabès and Djerba airport. A fleet of 250+ vehicles, from city cars to Mercedes, means we answer directly, even in high season.
These points, more than the headline price alone, are what separate a good car rental in Tunisia from a bad one.
- Fixed written quote on WhatsApp, 24/7, in French and English.

- Free delivery at all three international airports.
- Our strongest suit: a luxury fleet and a chauffeur service — E-Class, V-Class, Prado — for clients who want more than a car.
Prefer not to drive? Chauffeur and airport transfer
Rather not drive? VIPCAR also offers car rental with driver in Tunisia: a Mercedes E-Class or V-Class with a professional French- and English-speaking chauffeur, by the hour, the day or for several days, anywhere in the country. The price depends on date, time, route and availability: you receive a fixed quote on WhatsApp before you travel, with the fuel and driver accommodation supplement stated for trips outside Greater Tunis and Djerba.
For a simple airport-to-hotel ride, the private transfer works the same way: driver in arrivals with a name sign, flight tracking, fixed price agreed before travel, 24/7, from Tunis-Carthage, Djerba-Zarzis, Enfidha and any other Tunisian airport on request.
