KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cairo

  • Car hire in Cairo makes sense; having a car at your disposal makes you less dependent on often unreliable and uncomfortable public transport systems or frequently over-priced, over-organised tours. A car will prove especially liberating if you’d like to get out of the city and visit attractions outside Cairo itself.
  • There are a number of options for Cairo car hire available at the airport. Each terminal at Cairo International Airport (CAI) has car hire offices in the arrivals hall. Companies represented include Avis, Budget, Alamo, Europcar, Hertz and Sixt. It is generally cheaper to book online before arrival, and the agency can meet you at the airport to complete the procedures and get you to your car.
  • When considering car hire in Cairo, be aware that driving in Cairo can take some getting used to. Traffic rules are not necessarily obeyed, or even heeded, and driving in the city can seem a bit like a free-for-all. All kinds of vehicles travel on all kinds of roads, and you will need to keep your wits about you. Watch out for pedestrians and peddlers who stand in busy roads trying to sell various items to cars stuck in traffic. The rule of thumb for driving in Cairo is ‘expect the unexpected’.
  • Driving in Cairo can be challenging if you are used to driving in Australia, Europe or America, and there are several things you will need to keep in mind. The first issue to be aware of is that the rules of the road seem to mean little in practice, plus Cairo traffic can seem chaotic and unregulated. Even traffic lights can seem more like a suggestion than a legally mandated system for regulating traffic. One-way streets are often one-way only in theory, and you will need to keep a high level of situational awareness to deal with other motorists, pedestrians and random hazards on the road. Traffic jams can be fairly frequent, and the use of car horns can be enthusiastic. Driving in the city may take patience and a degree of boldness, but people do get used to it.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Cairo for $33 or less
  • Small hire cars in Cairo are around 58% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Cairo

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Cairo?

    When it comes to car hire in Cairo, choosing a compact car makes a lot of sense on several levels. Compact cars can be a lot cheaper, usually get better fuel mileage and will reduce your hassles in the chaos of Cairo traffic. Larger cars will have trouble navigating the crowded, often narrow, city streets and can be a nightmare to park.

  • What’s the speed limit in Cairo?

    The official speed limits for Cairo are 60 km/h in the city, 90 km/h outside the urban area and 100 km/h on highways. Enforcement can be patchy and not all locals may obey the limits, but, as a visitor, you certainly should do your best to adhere to the rules at all times.

  • Where are the best places to park in Cairo?

    Parking can seem chaotic in Cairo, with vehicles apparently parking anywhere they want. Many unofficial ‘parking mafias’ run certain areas as their private parking business and, although these services belong entirely to the black economy, they do work and operate much like official parking systems. There are a number of private car parks around the city, but these may not always be located where you need them to be. One innovative solution is the Rakna app, a mobile app linked to valet parking services around the city. Parking is a recognised problem in the city and something you should bear in mind when considering car hire in Cairo.

  • How much does it cost to hire a car in Cairo?

    On average a car hire in Cairo costs $50 per day.

  • Which car hire agencies are at Cairo airport (CAI)?

    Car hire companies onsite at Cairo airport include Alamo, Sixt, Hertz, Autounion Car Rental, Avis, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Budget, GREEN MOTION and National.

  • Which car hire companies will pick you up at Cairo airport (CAI)?

    Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Cairo airport to off-airport locations include Sixt, Avis and Budget.

  • How can I find car hires near me in Cairo?

    Take a look at our extensive car hire location map to find the best car hire deals near you.

  • How much does a Medium car hire cost in Cairo?

    A Medium car hire in Cairo costs $80 per day, on average.

  • How much does a Small car hire cost in Cairo?

    A Small car hire in Cairo costs $34 per day, on average.

  • What is the most popular car hire location in Cairo?

    In Cairo, cars are most frequently hired at Alamo Arrival Hall Terminal 3 (17 km from city centre ).

Overcharged and not given the vehicle reserved. Gave me lower class and smaller and overcharged me for it. Not given the promised refund even though I emailed and called them multiple times. Hounding me for review and keeping the refund hostage until I write a review. Well; here you go, Budget! This is the response you demanded in order to issue my refund.
