Driver's License in Egypt

Foreigners on short-term social visit may rent a car and drive with their foreign license for up to 3 months in Egypt. However, an Egyptian driving license is required after 3 months.

 

For international drivers, if your driver’s license is not in English or doesn’t have a stamped photograph, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required. Please note that the IDP is only a translation and you must bring your original driver’s license with you.

 

For driving licenses from countries not part of the international driving license treaty, an official translation of the license in English must be presented with the original license.

 

Customers with UK Driver's Licenses issued in Great Britain (except Northern Ireland) will need to provide evidence of any driving endorsements. You can get and print the DVLA endorsement record on the DVLA* website.

 

If you hold a Driver's Licence issued in Vietnam, you need to present the original license together with an authorized translation issued by the Vietnamese Ministry of Transport. If both documents are presented at time of rental these licenses are acceptable worldwide.

 

*Attention! Some car rental companies would have different requirements. Please check Terms and Conditions during the booking process.

The pickup location is in Hurghada city, and the car pickup process was completed quickly. The staff had a very good attitude.

The car was in good condition with slightly over 20,000 kilometers on it. In Egypt, especially in Cairo where traffic rules are chaotic, the engine performance and braking system are particularly important. The downside was the long wait time for picking up the car, which took almost 2 hours.

I had an excellent car rental experience at Cairo Airport this time, and I chose the Nissan Sunny as my vehicle. Since my schedule was tight, I completed the booking on the platform before departure, with both pick-up and drop-off arranged at Cairo International Airport, which was very convenient. Upon arrival, the rental company staff were already waiting in the designated area. The process of handling the paperwork was efficient and straightforward, and all necessary documents and deposit procedures were communicated in advance, with no hidden charges, which made me feel very assured. As for the vehicle, the Nissan Sunny was in great condition. The exterior was clean and tidy with no visible scratches or damage, and the interior was well-maintained, with the seats and dashboard spotless. During the handover, the staff carefully inspected the vehicle and patiently explained basic details such as fuel level, brakes, and lights to ensure I was fully informed about the car's condition. The entire handover process took only about ten minutes, which was very efficient.

Despite my poor English, I managed to pick up the car smoothly, taking quick photos as a record. Purchased unlimited mileage for about $16 per day. Driving in Cairo is absolutely a nightmare; on the day of returning the car, I accidentally took a wrong turn and had an intense experience. Honestly, I didn’t even feel like taking photos or videos. Both the driver and passenger were focused on the road and the navigation. On the trip to Marsa Matruh, I ended up with two speeding tickets.

At noon on Friday, there were hardly any customers at the counter. Providing a passport, credit card, and driver’s license was all it took, and we clarified the insurance and unlimited mileage terms before finalizing the contract smoothly (if no one is available at AVIS, you can also check with the Budget counter next door). For later issues, you can simply contact them via WhatsApp. When my tire was punctured, AVIS staff told me to visit a tire shop and then call them. They directly communicated with the shop over the phone, and the tire was repaired for just 100 EGP.

Very good. I saw people on Xiaohongshu mentioning various pitfalls, but in reality, the process was very professional. Just signing a contract, upgrading to unlimited mileage, and driving off. I bought QEEQ insurance instead of theirs. When returning the car, they barely inspected it and casually checked it before processing the return. They even dropped me off at T3. Within a week, I got my full deposit back. Additionally, this company doesn't require the 'three certificates as one'; a mainland passport combined with an international driver's license (IDP) suffices.

I had previously read mixed reviews about car rentals in Cairo. This company actually forwards orders to Eurocar. The staff at the rental office was very efficient, sincere, and straightforward—no scams involved. The car was a Nissan Sunny with less than 30,000 kilometers on it, so it was fairly new. The owner mentioned that the previous renter in Luxor had damaged the rear right wheel and paid around 1200 RMB. If you purchase full insurance, such costs can be fully covered. However, there's an issue I encountered: my booking through QEEQ stated that it included basic insurance (essentially basic damage insurance where amounts beyond around 4000 RMB would be covered by the insurance company, but amounts below that would need to be paid personally). When I asked the office staff about this, they stated there was no damage insurance, and if there was, it would likely have been offered by QEEQ or other agencies like Shouqi. This inconsistency raises some concerns—either the rental owner misunderstood or there's an error in QEEQ's information. Therefore, I recommend purchasing full insurance. Additionally, I asked whether the car needed washing during pickup. The owner said it wasn't necessary, and the staff mentioned it depends on the situation. Ultimately, I felt the car's exterior was a bit dirty, but they didn't require me to clean it. I simply had to refuel the car to full.

Both the pickup and drop-off processes were very smooth. The staff was quite friendly and didn't try to create any trouble. However, the car was very old. Even though it had only 70,000 kilometers, it felt like it was falling apart. That said, cars on Egyptian roads are generally in poor condition, so ours might have actually been decent in comparison.

Frequently asked questions

Q1.What is an insurance excess?

The excess is the amount you'll only be liable for in case of damage(under Collision Damage Waiver) or theft(under Theft Protection) of the vehicle.
Information about the excess will be clearly stated in the price inclusion when you reserve a car on QEEQ.

Q2. How can I add an addtional driver?

You are advised to make a request upon your arrival at the rental counter. Additional charge per day will incur unless '1 Additional Driver Included' is stipulated on the rental.
Please note that the same licence and age requirement applys to the additonal driver. The addtional driver is supposed to present the required licence document along with the main driver at pickup.

Q3.What if I want to pick up or drop off my rental car out of office hours?

QEEQ will show you the car offers available at your chosen time on the search results.
However, pick-up or drop-off out of general opening hours may subject to an extra fee unless self-service pick-up or drop-off is available.
After you reserve a car on QEEQ, we will inform you of specific policy of the car hire company by email.

Q4. Can I take the hired car to another country or cross border?

If you want to pick up your car in one country and drop it in another, your search results will show you cars you can do that with.
If you're planning to cross any borders during your trip, bear in mind:
1. You may have to pay more.
There are often extra fees, taxes or additional cover you'll pay at the car hire counter.
2.It may not be allowed.
Depending on where you're hiring, you may not be able to take your car to another country.
Please email us if you want to take your hire car into a different country during your trip, and we'll talk you through your options.

Q5. Can I pick up my car at one location and return it at different location?

Yes. You can pick up the vehicle in one place and drop it off in another. An ‘one-way fee’ will incur. Whether it is inclued in the rental price or what additional cost may arise will be clearly stated at the time of booking on QEEQ.
Please inform the car hire company of your drop-off location when you pick up the vehicle or contact them directly during your trip. You will find a phone number on the rental agreement you signed at pickup.
