Renting a car in Egypt can provide tourists with the freedom to explore the country at their own pace. The average price of renting a car in Egypt can vary greatly depending on several factors such as the type of car, rental duration, the time of year, and the rental company's policy. On average, visitors can expect to pay anywhere from USD 25 to USD 50 per day for a budget or medium-sized vehicle.
The cost can increase for luxury or high-end vehicles, which can be upwards of USD 100 per day. Additionally, renting for longer periods often reduces the daily rate, which could be a smart choice for individuals planning extended travel within the country. It's important to note that the rates generally include basic insurance, but there could be additional costs for extra insurance coverage or amenities.
Travelers should also keep in mind that during peak tourist seasons, such as national holidays or summer months, prices can surge due to higher demand. Therefore, booking in advance can not only secure a better rate but also ensure availability. Renting a car in popular destinations like Hurghada or Sharm el Sheikh may also affect the pricing, as compared to less touristy areas.
At the rental company office, you may be required to provide an international driving licence.
When reserving a vehicle in Egypt, you'll be presented with various car insurance options. To ensure peace of mind during your travels through Egypt, cars-scanner recommends purchasing a comprehensive insurance policy. This can be arranged through our website or directly at the car rental company’s office in Egypt.
Each car in Egypt comes with its own insurance specifics, which are detailed in the policy document. It is important to carefully review this document when you collect the vehicle.
Considering a road trip from Egypt to explore multiple countries? Be sure to check the Border Crossing information beforehand to ascertain which borders you’re permitted to cross with your rental car.

To explore the feasibility and pricing for returning a rental car to a different city in Egypt, for example picking up in Hurghada and returning in Sharm el Sheikh, tick the "return to another place" box during your search. You will then see options from rental companies that support one-way rentals. The displayed price on our website includes any one-way fees.
The minimum age to rent a car in Egypt is typically 21 years. Drivers aged 21–24 may face a young driver surcharge of €10–30 per day. Some premium and luxury vehicles require the driver to be at least 25. Always check the specific rental company's age policy before booking.
For the best rates, we recommend booking your rental car in Egypt at least 3–6 weeks ahead. During peak season (June–September) or major events, booking 2–3 months in advance is advisable. Early booking not only guarantees availability but also unlocks lower prices and a wider choice of vehicles.
Yes, one-way rentals are available with most major companies in Egypt. Returning within the same country usually costs €30–100 extra. Cross-border returns may be restricted or carry significant additional fees — check the rental terms carefully. Always confirm the one-way policy when booking.
The excess (or deductible) is the maximum amount you'd pay out of pocket if the car is damaged or stolen. In Egypt, this typically ranges from €500 to €2,000 depending on the vehicle class. You can reduce or eliminate the excess by purchasing additional coverage such as Super CDW or booking full-coverage insurance through Cars Scanner.
Typical speed limits in Egypt:
Speed limits may vary by road type and weather conditions. Radar cameras are common — always observe posted limits. Speeding fines in Egypt can be substantial.
Many rentals in Egypt come with unlimited mileage, especially for weekly bookings. However, some economy deals may include a daily cap (e.g. 200–300 km/day) with extra charges per kilometre beyond the limit. Always check the mileage policy in your booking confirmation — unlimited mileage offers the best value for longer trips.
Airport rental offices in Egypt often charge a premium of 10–20% due to airport surcharges. City-centre locations may offer better base rates but factor in the cost of getting there. Compare both options on Cars Scanner — sometimes free shuttle services from the airport make city pickups worthwhile.
If you have an accident in Egypt:
Your rental insurance will cover damages within the agreed terms.
The security deposit is typically released within 7–14 business days after you return the car, provided there is no damage. Some banks may take up to 30 days to process the refund. The deposit is a temporary hold on your credit card — the actual amount blocked depends on the vehicle class and insurance coverage chosen.
