A compact economy vehicle is ideal for weaving in and out of busy city centre traffic. Just make sure it has air-conditioning. If there’s 3-4 people along for the ride, a larger saloon may offer more comfort on journeys in the heat. Many people plan on driving to the desert from Tunis. If this is the case for you, don’t opt for anything other than a 4x4 as roads can be treacherous.
In built-up cities like Tunis, the speed limit is normally 50km/h (30mph). On the outskirts, it’s 90km/h (56mph) and on main roads and motorways a limit of 110km/h (70mph) applies. It’s common to see police at the entrance and exits to motorways as well as at tolls. Be sure to have your license and other relevant documents at hand.
The Medina of Tunis is a car-free zone, so you’ll have to look for parking in the surrounding area and head in by foot. The car park at Rue Mokhtar Attia is a great spot only a 15min walk away. Otherwise, there are plenty of on-street parking meters that are valid up to 2h and cost very little.

Sept 2017
Pros:
Agent did not have the reservation. Was finally able to find me a car. When I objected that it had no air conditioning, agent decided to give me a "good" car. It had A/C which worked. Car was extremely dirty, full of digs and dents, no hub caps, and tank was almost empty. I was repeatedly told that the parking fee was paid and that I did not have to pay anything on the way out, guess what. The parking fee was not paid with lots of angry drivers behind trying to get out. Poor car, extremely poor service. I cannot believe this was Budget!Cons:

Pros:
Once we found the agent, she was nice, but it took a while to find her - Budget just doesn't have a counter at the airport!Cons:
Other than having to talk my way in a strange airport in order to find the Budget rep (no counter) in a café, the car was... a bit beat... the manual gear was particularly hard and couldn't get in first in crazy traffic.6.0 Okay

Pros:
Although I prefer Sixt but this time I reserved a Europcar with confirmation number 1091412074 in Tunis intl Airport To my surprise and dismay your agent said Europcar In Tunisia do not accept Amex as a policy. I tried talking to a manager and she said the same thing. I had to cancel my meeting appointment for that night and look for another car to rent by another agency and pay prime price for last minute reservation, so I found Sixt as a life saver. I will file a complaint with Amex also. I find this experience very disturbing and inconvenient and I think your agent didn’t want Amex to save some banking fees. Also note that i will rate Europcar on all websites and alert travelers about this location poor customer service. Thank you and never again.Cons:

Some Tunis car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Tunis.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Tunis car hire.
