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 hotel or guest house, in town or out along the tourist road. In the Ouled el-Hadef medina the meeting point is a drivable street at the edge of the old quarter.
Collect at the agency
Tozeur town is the easiest place in the Jerid to collect in person: the desks are in the centre, minutes from the palm grove.
Bring to the handover: a valid driving licence and an ID document. Payment is made on the spot.
- From Tozeur-Nefta Airport
- 4km
- Drive time
- 10min
- This is the closest quartier to the airport in the whole Jerid: four kilometres of straight road, through no villages.
- Flights to Tozeur are few; many travellers drive in from Djerba or Tunis and rent once they are here.
Taking the road
- The centre parks easily out of season; in February and March, at the height of the visiting season, the approaches to the palm grove and the medina fill up through the morning.
- The palm grove is crossed by narrow tracks between garden walls: fine in a city car, but slowly and with little room to pass.
- Filling stations are on Avenue Habib Bourguiba and the Nefta road; fill up before any trip to the mountain oases or the chott, where there is nothing.
- The causeway across Chott el-Jerid towards Kebili is paved and safe, but has no services for ninety kilometres.

Exploring Tozeur Ville
Renting your car in Tozeur Ville means starting from the heart of the oasis: the rental agencies sit in the town centre, minutes from the palm grove and the Ouled el-Hadef medina with its famous ochre brickwork.
The right starting point
It's the most practical pick-up spot in the Jerid: collect the car in town, fill up and stock up locally, then head out — the mountain oases of Chebika, Tamerza and Mides to the north-west, Nefta and its basin twenty minutes away, and the crossing of the Chott el-Jerid salt lake towards Douz to the south-east. All of these are paved roads, fine for a regular rental car.
Practicalities
Traffic in Tozeur Ville is calm and parking is easy, including near the tourist-zone hotels. Two desert-region habits: fill the tank before every excursion (stations thin out beyond town) and stay off the sandy tracks — driving off paved roads is excluded by rental agencies.
Returning the car
Fuel and toll prices in Tunisia- Dropping the car at the airport takes ten minutes from the centre: it is the usual choice at the end of a Jerid trip.
- If you are carrying on to Djerba or Tunis, say so when booking: returning in another zone needs a rental of at least seven days.
- Last station before the airport: on the Nefta road, at the western edge of town.
