Essential rules
Drive on the right. Follow local and works signs. Seatbelts are mandatory. Phone use while driving is finable. Drink-driving rules are strict. At roundabouts, drive defensively — Tunis peak hours are dense.
Motorways, tolls and distances
Motorways link Tunis to the Sahel and south. Carry cash or an accepted card for tolls. GPS times are optimistic with urban slowdowns. Off motorway, expect speed bumps and poorly lit crossings at night. Compare rental vs chauffeur transfer for complex links after a long flight.
Fuel and return
Stations are common on main axes. Keep the contractual fuel level (often full-to-full). Photograph the gauge. Wrong fuel type is expensive.
Cities and parking
In Tunis, Sousse or Monastir, prefer secure parking. Do not leave valuables visible. Historic medinas are often better on foot. Offline maps help when data is unstable.
Visitor tips
Keep licence, contract and insurance accessible. Avoid driving exhausted after a night flight: a T-GO airport transfer for the first leg can be wiser. When ready, pick a category on the fleet or estimate a transfer if you prefer not to drive.
