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 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.
