Question 1

Can international visitors rent a car in Egypt

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can rent a car as a foreigner in Egypt. However, you will need a valid international driving permit (IDP) along with your home country driver’s license. Additionally, be prepared to provide a credit card for the deposit and reservation. Rental requirements may vary by company, so it's a good idea to check with the car rental provider or use our website, VoyageCopilot.com, to find car rental options and requirements for international drivers.

Question 2

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 3

What are the most popular car brands for rent in Egypt?

Accepted Answer

In Egypt, the top car brands frequently chosen by renters include Nissan Sunny, Nissan Sentra, Chevrolet Aveo, Nissan Qashqai, Peugeot 5008, and Tesla. These models are popular for their dependability and comfort, whether you're planning a quick trip or an extended journey.

Question 4

Can I rent a car from Budget in Egypt?

Accepted Answer

Yes – you can pick up Budget rent cars from Egypt.

Question 5

Should I get insurance when renting a car in Egypt?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Egypt, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your rental may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international rentals for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers rental insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the rental counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

Question 6

Is renting a car for a week in Egypt more cost-effective?

Accepted Answer

Renting a car for a week in Egypt can sometimes be more cost-effective than renting for a shorter period, as many car rental companies offer weekly rates that provide better value. To ensure you get the best deal, it’s advisable to compare rates and check for any available discounts or promotions during the booking process. Always review the pricing details carefully before finalizing your reservation.

Question 7

Can another person drive my rental vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, another person can drive your rent vehicle, but they must be authorised by the rental company. Typically, you need to add them as an additional driver when booking or picking up the car. There may be an extra fee for adding additional drivers, and they must meet the same age and driving licence requirements as the primary driver. Check with the car rental company for specific terms and conditions.

Question 8

Can I rent car seats in Egypt for my young children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Most major car rental companies in Egypt, like , , ,  and , offer baby and child seats as an add-on when you book.

Question 9

Can I use a debit card to rent a car in Egypt?

Accepted Answer

Using a debit card to rent a car in Egypt is sometimes possible, but policies vary by rental company. Many suppliers require a credit card, such as Visa, MasterCard, or American Express, for the deposit and reservation. If you only have a debit card, check with the rental provider beforehand or use our website, VoyageCopilot.com, to find car rental options that accept debit cards.
