Book Cheap Alamo Car Hire Deals in Shubra el-Kheima, Cairo, Egypt

Note that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Always verify the age policy when booking.

Most car rental companies will ask for a credit card deposit, which is usually held temporarily. Inquire about the specific deposit amount and the process for releasing it once the rental is complete.

Before your trip, confirm if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Cairo, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Look up fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Refueling at a local station is often more economical than paying rental company rates.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.
