Car Rental in Sfax

Sfax is Tunisia's second-largest city and an important business and industrial center located 270 km south of Tunis. With three rental agencies in the city center you have good opportunities to find a good option for exploring southern Tunisia. Sfax medina is one of the best preserved in Tunisia and is located in the very heart of the city.

From here it's 130 km to Gabès and 140 km to El Jem – both reachable in under 1.5 hours via the A1 highway. Use Sfax as a base to reach the Kerkennah Islands – take the ferry from the harbor 5 km from the city center and explore the islands with a small rental car onboard. Avoid driving into the medina core – the streets are narrow and difficult to navigate.

Park at Bab Diwan and walk in on foot. Compare prices between the three agencies in the city center – competition often means you can negotiate a lower price, especially for multi-day rentals. Is it easy to drive from Sfax to Djerba?

Djerba is about 215 km south and takes approximately 2.5 hours via GP1. You take a short ferry at Jorf–Ajim (about 15 min) or drive around via Zarzis if you prefer to avoid the ferry. What type of car is recommended for driving around Sfax?
