Does National require an IDP in Tunisia?
National in Tunisia: the policy in plain terms
Requires an IDP for non-Latin-alphabet licences and where local regulations require it. Business-traveller brand known for Emerald Aisle.
Tunisia drives on the right and signs the 1968 Vienna Convention; an IDP is advised to translate non-Arabic licences for desks and police.
In Tunisia specifically, tunisia legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so National will ask for it at the counter. Tunis desks request an IDP for non-Arabic, non-French licences.
National runs a global network; at its Tunisia desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1968 Vienna-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Tunisia drives on the right, uses the TND, and sets a minimum driving age of 18, so an IDP is the document that removes any doubt at the counter.
What to bring to the National counter in Tunisia
- Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
- Your International Driving Permit in the 1968 Vienna format.
- Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
- Local payment for the TND deposit; Tunisia drives on the right with a young-driver surcharge under 25.
