Djerba Airport rental FAQ

Where is the Troisa car rental desk at Djerba-Zarzis Airport?
Troisa uses free meet-and-greet at Djerba-Zarzis Airport (DJE) — our agent waits inside the small arrivals hall after customs with a personalised Troisa sign. The car is parked just outside the terminal. The airport is small and walkable end-to-end in 5 minutes; you'll never get lost. Service 24/7 for all charter flights.
How much does car rental at Djerba Airport cost?
Car rental at Djerba Airport (DJE) starts from 80 TND/day for an economy car. Compact 110 TND/day, SUV 180 TND/day, luxury 300 TND/day, 9-seater minibus 250 TND/day. Prices include unlimited mileage, full insurance, meet-and-greet and 24/7 roadside assistance. No airport-counter surcharge.
Do I need a 4x4 SUV to drive in Djerba?
No — Djerba's roads are all paved, including the Roman-era El Kantara causeway that connects the island to the mainland. Any economy or compact car handles the island, the causeway, Zarzis and the trip to Matmata easily. A 4x4 is only needed if you plan to head deeper south to off-road Sahara dunes (Ksar Ghilane).
How far is Djerba Airport from Houmt Souk and Midoun?
Djerba Airport (DJE) is located in the south-east of the island. Houmt Souk (capital) 15 km / 20 min north. Midoun 15 km / 20 min east. Aghir beach resorts 12 km / 15 min south. Zarzis (mainland) 70 km / 1 h 15 via the El Kantara Roman causeway.
Can I drive the Djerba rental car to the mainland?
Yes — there are two ways off the island: the historic El Kantara Roman causeway (free, year-round, but slow) and the Ajim-Jorf ferry (5-10 minutes, runs frequently). Both are open to rental cars. Many guests drive south to Zarzis, Matmata troglodyte homes, or further to the Sahara towns of Douz and Tozeur.
Can I drop the car off at a different airport?
Yes — one-way rentals to Tunis-Carthage, Enfidha, Monastir or Sfax airports are possible. Fee depends on the route (typically 100-300 TND). Popular combination: fly into Djerba for the south, rent a car, drive north, drop off at Tunis for the flight home.
Are child seats available at Djerba Airport pickup?
Yes — free child safety seats (baby 0-13 kg, toddler 9-18 kg, booster 15-36 kg) are included with any rental. Just request them when booking. All seats follow ECE R44/R129 European safety standards and are cleaned between rentals.
Is there a Troisa car rental option near Houmt Souk or Midoun directly?
Yes — for stays based around Houmt Souk, Midoun, Aghir, or any beach hotel on the island, we deliver the car directly to your hotel or apartment free of charge for rentals of 3+ days. Skip the airport entirely if your hotel transfer is already arranged.
