How to Avoid Car Rental Scams in Tunisia

Car rental fraud in Tunisia has risen sharply, and Tunisians living abroad are a favourite target. Scammers set up fake agencies on Facebook and TikTok with prices that look too good to be true, take an advance payment to "reserve" the car — and then vanish. When you land, there's no car and no one answering the phone.

Here's how to book safely and protect your money.

6 warning signs of a fake agency

1. The price is far below everyone else. If a car is €10/day when every real agency is €30+, it's bait.
2. They only exist on a Facebook/TikTok page — no real website, no fixed address, no registration number.
3. They demand full payment up front by transfer or to a personal account, before you've seen a contract.
4. No written rental contract — a legitimate agency always gives you one.
5. They refuse a video call or won't show the actual car.
6. Reviews are missing, brand-new, or all posted the same week.

How to book safely

• Pay the rental fee, not a large "reservation" transfer. Real agencies charge on pickup.
• Insist on a written contract listing the car, insurance, deposit and return conditions.
• Prefer agencies with a real website and airport delivery — you meet the car and driver in person at the terminal.
• Check the deposit policy in writing. Know how much it is and when it comes back — or choose a no-deposit option.
• Look for consistent, dated reviews across Google and TripAdvisor, not a single fresh batch.
