How much is car hire in Egypt?
I want to travel round Egypt a bit. How much am I likely to be able to
get the cheapest smallest car for? I would probably be hireing it in Cairo or Sharm el Sheikh. I would want it for 7 to 14 days. I am willing to barter, and take a risk of mechanical breakdown. Thank you for any help. |

Believe me, you don't want to drive a car in Egypt. Second, you are willing to take a risk of a mechanical breakdown, but how about a traffic accident (your fault or not) or the reaction of the people after you hit a child with "your" car? Regards, John. |

Regards, John. Why not? I have driven in Morroco, Serbia and Greece and had no problems. I have heard about having problems after hitting people in some countries, that you are likely to get linched rather than prosicuted. It is not something that worries me over much, as I take every care to NOT go around hitting children. If I do hire a car, is it recomended that you drive off after a possibly fatal trafic accident, as I have heard is the advice in india for example? Thanks for the input. |
