While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Tunis ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking.

Common questions on rental process
There is a serious problem concerning the shortage of parking spaces in the country’s capital and its major cities. The control over the implementation of parking rules is very strict, so an improperly parked car is likely to be sent to the penalty parking and the offender will have to pay a large fine.
In addition to cars, there is a huge number of two-wheeled vehicles on the roads of Tunisia. The number of motorcycle and moped riders is as big as the number of car drivers. As a rule, owners of the two-wheeled transport are more inclined to violate traffic regulations than other drivers, so don’t forget to pay particular attention to them.
Despite the fact that local police officers are rather strict and incorruptible, they treat foreign visitors correctly. Not all foreign drivers can quickly adapt to peculiarities of local roads, so minor violations can occur quite often. In most cases, foreign drivers are not punished for the first minor violation.
