Average Car Rental Prices in Egypt

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.

FAQ

1. What is the minimum age to rent a car in Egypt?

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.

2. How far in advance should I book a rental car in Egypt?

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.

3. Can I return the rental car in a different city or country?

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.

4. What is an excess (deductible) and how does it work?

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.

5. What are the speed limits on roads in Egypt?

Typical speed limits in Egypt:

  • Urban areas: 50 km/h
  • Rural roads: 80–90 km/h
  • Motorways: 110–130 km/h

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.

6. Is there a mileage limit on rental cars?

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.

7. Is it cheaper to rent a car at the airport or in the city centre of Egypt?

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.

8. What should I do in case of an accident with the rental car?

If you have an accident in Egypt:

  1. Ensure everyone's safety and call emergency services if needed (112 in Europe)
  2. Document everything — take photos of damage, the scene, and other vehicles
  3. Fill in the accident report form (usually found in the glove compartment)
  4. Contact the rental company immediately
  5. Do not admit fault or sign documents you don't understand

Your rental insurance will cover damages within the agreed terms.

9. When will the security deposit be returned to my card?

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.
