Which car should you choose in Sousse?
The best vehicle depends on the number of passengers, luggage capacity, and the destinations you plan to visit in Sousse, the Tunisian Sahel, and the rest of Tunisia.
Compact Car
A compact car is ideal for driving in Sousse city centre, Port El Kantaoui and the Medina of Sousse, where streets can be narrow and parking spaces limited. This category is suitable for short trips across the Tunisian Sahel and everyday driving along the coast.
Sedan
A sedan is suitable for journeys to Monastir, Mahdia, El Jem, Kairouan and Tunis. It provides additional interior space and greater comfort on motorways, making it well suited for multi-day trips across the Tunisian Sahel and Northern Tunisia.
SUV
An SUV is recommended for families, travellers carrying multiple suitcases and longer road trips across Tunisia. It offers additional luggage capacity and comfort for journeys from Sousse to Southern Tunisia, including destinations such as Tozeur and Douz.
Automatic Car
Automatic cars are available in compact, sedan and SUV categories. They are particularly suitable for driving in Sousse city traffic and on longer journeys to Hammamet, Nabeul and Tunis, especially during the busy summer months of July and August
