Rent a car in Tunisia, on your terms

My flight landed two hours late and the driver was still waiting at arrivals with the board. No extra charge, no fuss — he just took the bags and asked if I wanted the air conditioning colder.

We booked the Tiguan for a week in Hammamet. It was spotless, the deposit came back three days after we returned it, and nobody tried to sell us insurance we had already paid for.

The Sahara overnight was the part of the trip my kids still talk about. Our guide spoke to them the whole way, not just to us, and he knew exactly when to stop for photographs.

Pickup in Sidi Bou Saïd was easy to arrange and the price online was the price I paid. The car was a little older than the photo suggested, but it drove perfectly for the four days we had it.
