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 AED 190 or less
- Book your rental car in Tunis at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Off-airport rental car locations in Tunis are around 7% cheaper than airport locations on average
