Monastir Airport Car Rentals: Best Rates & Zero Hidden Fees

First, ensure everyone is safe and call the police immediately, as a police report is mandatory for insurance claims. Contact your rental car company's emergency number, document the scene with photos, and exchange information with other parties involved without admitting fault. Secure a copy of the official police report ('constat') to provide to the rental agency.

In Tunisia, most gas stations are full-service; an attendant will fill the tank for you, and a small tip is customary. While major stations may accept credit cards, it's wise to carry cash (Tunisian Dinars), especially in rural areas. Always check your rental agreement for the specific fuel policy, such as 'full-to-full,' before returning your car to MIR.

To avoid scams, book with reputable companies online in advance, read all contract terms carefully, especially regarding insurance and fuel policies. Document the car's condition with photos before driving, and always clarify any unexpected fees. Keep all your paperwork until the final bill is settled.

To avoid high costs, understand the included insurance. Standard rentals at MIR come with a high excess (up to €2,000) on the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). You can reduce this by purchasing the rental company's expensive Super CDW or by buying more affordable, comprehensive third-party excess insurance online before you travel. Also, check if your credit card offers primary rental car coverage.
