Looking for cheap car rental in Tunisia without falling into the hidden-fee traps the big international chains are famous for? Troisa is a local Tunis-based agency: no franchise network to subsidise, no overpriced airport counter, no week-long credit-card hold. The result is a transparent 80 TND/day economy car with unlimited mileage, full insurance and free airport or hotel delivery. Our model is simple — direct hotel partnerships in Hammamet, Sousse and Djerba, a fleet renewed every year, sensible margins. That's how we stay 25-40% cheaper than Hertz, Europcar or Avis on a like-for-like vehicle.
All rates include unlimited mileage, full insurance, 24/7 roadside assistance and free airport or hotel delivery on 3+ day rentals. No hidden surcharge, ever.

No magic — a local-agency model that removes three layers of margin.
Hertz, Europcar and Avis pay a royalty to their international parent plus a franchisee margin in Tunisia. Troisa is independent — that 15-20% extra never lands on your bill.
The international chains routinely hold 1,500-2,500 TND on a credit card. Troisa takes cash in TND, EUR or USD — no credit card needed, no FX fee on the refund.
No airport concession fee (12-18% at the big brands). No captive in-terminal desk where you pay 30% more for the identical car. Our fleet is based in Tunis and meets you outside.
No "airport pick-up fee", no queueing at a counter. We meet you at the arrivals exit with the car — or deliver to your hotel free for 3+ day bookings.
Follow all five and you'll save 200-400 TND on a typical week — without sacrificing insurance or comfort.
Tunisia's rental fleet is small — around 30,000 cars across the whole country, versus 1.2 million in France. In high season (June-September) economy cars vanish 10 days before pickup and only SUVs at 180 TND/day remain. Book early and you lock in our cheapest tier automatically.

The daily rate drops sharply past 7 days: 80 TND/day falls to 70 TND/day, a 70 TND saving over a week. If you'd planned 5 days, compare the totals — 7 days is often cheaper end-to-end than 5 days, and you get 2 free days to extend your trip.
At Tunis-Carthage the same Europcar car costs ~30% more at the in-terminal desk than from a city location, because of airport concession fees. With Troisa, airport delivery is free — you pay the city rate even when you collect at arrivals. See our Tunis-Carthage airport page.
An economy car handles 99% of trips in Tunisia: Tunis, Sousse, Hammamet, Djerba — it's all paved. An SUV is only useful if you head deep south (Douz, Ksar Ghilane) or into the mountains (Kasserine, Beni Khedache). Otherwise you're paying 100 TND/day extra for nothing. For 2 people stick with the economy or compact class.
A credit-card deposit hold blocks 1,500-2,500 TND of your limit for 2-3 weeks after return. With cash in TND, EUR or USD there's no hold and no FX fee on refund. Bring small bills — we hand them back to you on return. (Yes, this still surprises customers used to Hertz at JFK.)
The headline rate isn't always the real rate. These are the most common surcharges to watch for — none of them exist at Troisa.
15-18% of the total tacked on if you collect at the in-terminal counter instead of in town. On a 7-day economy rental with a chain that's ~140 TND for nothing. Troisa: 0 TND, free airport delivery.
20-40 TND per day per extra driver at some agencies — 280 TND on a week if you're two licensed drivers swapping. At Troisa the 1st additional driver is free, the 2nd is 5 TND/day.
Some chains refuse EU licences and force you to buy a local IDP for 80 TND. Tunisian law actually recognises EU licences for 6 months — Troisa applies the law, no surcharge.
You prepay a full tank (200 TND), return the car half-full, lose 100 TND. Troisa is full-to-full — pay only what you actually use. More tricks in our 12 rental mistakes to avoid.

Illustrative basket built around a 7-day economy rental. Hertz / Europcar figures observed on their public sites in mid-season — they don't reflect any individual quote. The point is the structural gap, not to denigrate.
Free delivery to airports, free delivery to hotels for 3+ day rentals — across the whole country.
60-second booking — pay on arrival. No card needed to hold the price.
