Arrival and handover
You choose when you book: we bring the car to where you are, or you collect it from the partner agency. Both options are already included in the price shown.
Delivered to your address
The car is brought to your address, or to the exit of the passenger terminal if you arrive by ferry: that is the main case here, with handover right after you disembark.
Collect at the agency
Collecting at an agency means central Tunis or the airport, about twenty minutes away.
Bring to the handover: a valid driving licence and an ID document. Payment is made on the spot.
- From Tunis-Carthage Airport
- 10km
- Drive time
- 18min
- Many travellers arrive here by sea rather than by air: the ferries from Marseille, Genoa and Palermo dock at the port.
- The airport road runs along the Lac: eighteen minutes off-peak.
Taking the road
- On ferry arrival days the avenue serving the port gets very busy for an hour or two: allow margin if your handover is timed to a boat.
- The seafront and the restaurant avenue park badly on summer evenings; the car parks set back from the beach are a safer bet.
- The Lac road links La Goulette directly to the centre and the airport without crossing residential districts.
- Filling stations on Avenue Franklin Roosevelt and the Lac road.

Exploring La Goulette
La Goulette is the sea gate of Tunis: the port that receives ferries from Marseille, Genoa and Palermo, the cruise ships, and a long avenue of fish restaurants that has made the district's name for decades.
The natural choice when you arrive by sea
It is the most logical pick-up point if you step off the ferry without a vehicle: collect the car minutes from the terminal and set off directly, without crossing central Tunis. The northern suburbs start just after — Carthage and Sidi Bou Said are a quarter of an hour away on the coast road — and the A1 towards Hammamet is reached round the south of the metro area.
Practicalities
On cruise-call days, traffic around the port thickens noticeably: allow extra time if your pick-up falls on an arrival day. Parking is straightforward away from the main avenue, and more contested in the evening and at weekends when the restaurants fill up.
Returning the car
Fuel and toll prices in Tunisia- If you are leaving by ferry, hand the car back before boarding: taking it out of the country is forbidden by the rental contracts.
- Eighteen minutes to the airport by the Lac road; fill up before the access roundabout.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Can I collect a car when arriving by ferry?
That is the district's main use: partner agencies sit minutes from the terminal, so you can set off without crossing central Tunis. Check the exact pick-up point and opening hours on the listing, especially for a late arrival.
Is La Goulette well placed for the northern suburbs?
Yes — Carthage and Sidi Bou Said are a quarter of an hour away on the coast road, with La Marsa and Gammarth just beyond. Southbound, you join the A1 towards Hammamet and Sousse.
Is parking easy?
Straightforward away from the main avenue, noticeably tighter in the evening and at weekends when the fish restaurants draw crowds. On cruise-call days, traffic around the port thickens.
How does booking work?
Online, 3-day minimum: licence and ID uploaded at checkout, payment made directly to the agency at pick-up. Deposit and agency-specific conditions are on each listing.
