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 Monastir.
Before leaving the parking garage in Monastir, 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
In general, traffic regulations in Tunisia are almost the same with the European ones, and local road signs fit international standards. Foreign visitors will find it not difficult to navigate on the country’s roads. Road sign inscriptions are made not only in Arabic, but also in French.
In addition to the driving license (this must be the international driver’s permit) and the vehicle documents, foreign drivers are recommended to keep the passport close. The identity document will help you solve any misunderstandings much faster, and it will certainly be very useful in the case of a police check.
Local drivers actively use sound signals, the meaning of which can be very different. As a rule, a horn signal is a warning signifying the driver’s intention to make a maneuver or a request to give way, but often local drivers honk without any particular reason, simply to remind other road users about their presence on the road.
