SUV rental Tunisia: the cars available

Our SUV rental in Tunisia covers three different needs. The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is the true 4x4: seven seats, automatic, diesel, four suitcases, the car for large families and southern trails. The hybrid Toyota RAV4 is the all-rounder, frugal on the Tunis–Sfax motorway and comfortable for five. The Volkswagen T-Cross is the compact crossover, high-riding yet easy to park, perfect for the Hammamet and Cap Bon coast. All three are automatic and air-conditioned. The daily rate, with lower weekly and monthly tiers, is shown on each car page.

Deposit, insurance and mileage

Every 4x4 rental in Tunisia includes 300 km per day, basic third-party insurance and full-to-full fuel: you return the car with the same level as at delivery. A refundable security deposit of 5,000–8,000 TND depending on the model for this category is held during the rental and returned in full when the car comes back in good condition. It is your maximum liability, nothing is charged beyond it. The exact amount per model is shown on each car page. No extra insurance packages are sold. To rent you need to be 21, hold a licence for at least two years and present a passport or ID card plus a credit or debit card. If your itinerary runs past 300 km a day, tell us the route: the formula is confirmed at booking.

Southern Tunisia by 4x4: Tozeur, Douz, Matmata

An SUV changes the trip as soon as you leave the coast. Towards Tozeur and the mountain oases, towards Douz at the gates of the Grand Erg, towards the troglodyte houses of Matmata or the ksour of Tataouine, the ground clearance and stability of the Prado or RAV4 make long straight roads and secondary routes safer and less tiring. Deep sand tracks remain for escorted vehicles and must be mentioned to us at booking. For this kind of tour, send us your itinerary: the 300 km per day included add up over the rental period and a suitable formula is confirmed at booking.

Airport delivery and booking

Your 4x4 is waiting at Tunis-Carthage, Djerba or Enfidha. Delivery and collection are free at Tunis-Carthage (TUN) and Djerba-Zarzis (DJE) airports, and cost €60 each way at Enfidha-Hammamet (NBE): a VIPCAR agent waits for you in the arrivals hall, day or night. Our Tunis, Gabès and Djerba offices also serve as pick-up points, and a one-way rental, for example Tunis to Djerba, is possible for a €70–€100 fee depending on the route, confirmed at booking. Send your dates, pick-up place and flight number on WhatsApp: you receive a fixed quote within minutes, with no payment for the quote. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pick-up (inside 24 hours, the reservation deposit is not refunded and a 20% fee applies). Rates are in TND; EUR, USD, GBP and SAR are accepted, in cash, by card, bank transfer or payment link.

Any tips for driving in Tunisia?+

Drive on the right; speed limits are posted in km/h. Keep your licence, passport and rental contract in the car. Fill up before heading into the south, where fuel stations are further apart. Check the car with our agent at delivery and take photos, so your deposit comes back in full.
