What is the process for returning a car in Egypt?

Accepted Answer

To return a car in Egypt station, ensure that the vehicle is in the same condition as when you rented it and that the fuel tank is full. Follow the signs to the designated return area at the car hire location. If you need to return the vehicle outside of regular business hours, look for any instructions or an after-hours drop-off box at the return area. It’s a good idea to confirm with the car hire company beforehand about their off-hour procedures to ensure a smooth return process. Be sure to complete any required paperwork or check-in steps as instructed.

Question 8

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 hire may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international hires for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers hire 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 hire counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

A one-way fee is applied when you return your hire car to a different location than where you originally picked it up. This fee helps cover the cost of relocating the vehicle back to its starting point. The amount of the one-way fee varies depending on the locations involved and the hire company's policies. Be sure to check the fee details when booking your hire to understand any additional charges that may apply.

To ensure you are aware of the exact deposit amount and any other associated costs, check the details during the booking process. This information is usually provided on the booking site. Additionally, be aware that the deposit will be refunded to your card after the car is returned, provided there are no extra charges or damages.
