What is included in every car rental in Tunisia
Every VIPCAR car rental in Tunisia comes with the same base: 300 km per day included, basic third-party insurance, full-to-full fuel and a recent, serviced car. The daily rate is displayed on each car page in TND with a EUR conversion, and the weekly and monthly tiers are shown on the same page, so you can compare a weekend with a two-week holiday at a glance. There are no extra insurance packages to add at the counter: the refundable security deposit described below replaces them. Delivery to your hotel, your office or the arrivals hall of the airport is arranged when you book, and our WhatsApp line answers 24/7 before, during and after the rental.
Security deposit and insurance: what you actually risk
A refundable security deposit is held for the duration of the rental and returned in full when the car comes back in good condition. It is your maximum liability: whatever happens, nothing is charged beyond the deposit. The amount depends on the class of car — Economy 1,500–3,000 TND, Standard 5,000 TND, Luxury 6,000–8,000 TND — and the exact figure for the model you choose is stated on its car page and confirmed at booking. Insurance is basic third-party cover only; VIPCAR does not sell CDW or excess-waiver products, so the price you are quoted is the price you pay. Full details are in our deposit policy.
Requirements to rent a car in Tunisia
To rent a car in Tunisia with VIPCAR, the driver must be at least 21 years old and have held a driving licence for at least 2 years. At pick-up you present your passport or national ID card, your driving licence and a bank card — credit or debit cards are both accepted for the deposit. If your licence is not printed in the Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is recommended alongside it. Additional drivers, child seats and any special request are simply mentioned when you book so they are ready with the car. Tourists, residents and companies that need formal invoicing are all welcome.
Car rental at Tunis-Carthage, Djerba and Enfidha airports
Airport delivery and collection are free at Tunis-Carthage (TUN) and Djerba-Zarzis (DJE); at Enfidha-Hammamet (NBE) they cost €60 each way. Send us your flight number and a VIPCAR agent waits for you in the arrivals hall, day or night, with the contract ready and the car parked outside. Car rental at Tunis airport is the natural start for the capital, Carthage, Sidi Bou Said and the northern coast; Djerba airport for the island, Zarzis and the road to the south; Enfidha for Hammamet, Nabeul and the Cap Bon. One-way rentals between our offices — for example pick up in Tunis and return in Djerba or Gabès — are allowed for a fee of €70–€100 depending on the route, confirmed at booking.
Long-term car rental in Tunisia
For a month, a season or a full assignment, long-term car rental in Tunisia costs less per day than a string of short bookings. Each car page shows its weekly and monthly rate tiers, and for longer contracts we prepare a quote that reflects the duration, the model and the mileage you expect — the 300 km per day included add up over the whole rental period, so a monthly contract carries a generous overall allowance. Companies get formal invoicing, a dedicated account manager and vehicle swaps or extensions through their corporate account. Tell us the start date, the expected length and where the car will mostly be driven, and we come back with a fixed price.
Which car to rent in Tunisia?
The right car depends on the trip. For Tunis and short city stays, an economy car such as the Kia Picanto or a compact like the VW Golf 8 is easy to park and cheap to run. For the motorway between Tunis, Hammamet and Sfax with luggage, a sedan such as the VW Passat or Toyota Corolla is more comfortable. For the south — Tozeur, Douz, Matmata — choose an SUV like the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, or the Toyota Hilux pick-up for work sites. Groups of up to eight travel together in a Mercedes V-Class or Peugeot Traveller van, and the Mercedes E-Class is the luxury choice for business and weddings. Browse each category below.
How to book your car rental in Tunisia
Booking takes a few minutes: send your dates, pick-up place and, if you are flying in, your flight number on WhatsApp or through the booking form, and you receive a fixed quote in TND with the EUR equivalent. No payment is needed to get the quote. For bookings made more than 7 days ahead, a reservation deposit of 10 % (standard cars) or 20 % (luxury cars) confirms the car; for last-minute bookings it is optional or subject to availability. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pick-up (inside 24 hours, the reservation deposit is not refunded and a 20% fee applies); refunds are processed within 5–7 business days. We accept TND, EUR, USD, GBP and SAR by cash, card, bank transfer, PayPal, Revolut or secure 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.
