Tunis - Post Report Question and Answers

What kind of vehicle(s) including electric ones do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, infrastructure, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car or vehicles do you advise not to bring?

Very few charging stations so gas car is recommended. I have an SUV and love it but tiny European cars are common here. There are lots of giant trucks so size isn't really a concern. I haven't heard of people stealing cars but breaking into cars is very common. You'll see lot's of glass piles on the ground. - May 2025


One of the worst countries for driving I've ever been in - and I've been in some bad ones. Drivers are constantly on their cell phones and do not pay attention to the road. The lanes aren't respected and cars drift constantly. The roads are ok though. I would bring a car that you don't mind getting dented a little. A sedan is fine. The less fancy the car looks, the less of an attraction it will be for break-ins. - Jan 2024
