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 Hammamet.
Before leaving the parking garage in Hammamet, 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
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.
