Please note, that in order to rent in Tunis a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.
Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Djerba.
Before leaving the parking garage in Djerba, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Popular questions on rental process
Trucks that carry hay have become a serious problem for car drivers. The problem is that bundles of hay fixed on the car’s back do not allow truck drivers see anything. Even rear view mirrors are absolutely useless. As a rule, these vehicles move at relatively low speed, so it’s natural that other drivers want to overtake them.
If possible, it is better to refrain from risky maneuvers. If overtaking is inevitable, you should honk and blink with high beams. If the truck driver understands your intentions, he will move closer to the roadside. Only after this you can overtake the truck safely.
Tunisian roads are distinguished by relatively good quality. You can comfortably drive on them even in desert areas of the country. It should be noted that tourists are strictly prohibited to make rides to the desert on their own, even if the road is open to everyone and looks comfortable. If you are eager to make a ride through the desert, it is better to do that together with a guide.
