10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Cairo

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance is likely to yield lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which can also be convenient. Just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports; however, the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected events during your trip. It's easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Can I drive in Cairo with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car.

Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
