What age do you have to be to rent a car in Cairo?

Typically, to rent a car in Cairo you must be at least 21—the same as it is across the rest of the United States of America. However, you might need to pay a surcharge if you're under 25. Be sure to review the terms to determine what the total is before you book your rental.

Does Cairo require rental car insurance?

When cruising through Cairo or the rest of the U.S.A., you'll need insurance. Almost every supplier needs proof of insurance before you pick up your automobile. Many countries require the driver to have insurance. You may be able to buy additional insurance through the rental car dealer for your trip, if you think your insurance won't cover you while traveling through the U.S.A.. Moreover, as a U.S. citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

The major credit card issuers (Discover, American Express, Visa, and MasterCard) will typically offer coverage. However, many of them have restrictions, such as not covering bigger vehicles like premium models or some SUVs. It is best to find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you travel to Cairo.

What is the difference between all the fuel policies?

Most suppliers give you a choice of fuel policies. Here is a list of the typical policies.

What fuel policy do you recommend?

We usually suggest that you opt for the full-to-full policy. This policy is the most straightforward, and you simply top off the tank before you bring it back.

Should I get unlimited miles when I rent a car in Cairo?

Unlimited miles is a good option if you plan to do a bit of sightseeing or visit several customers all over Cairo. You can cruise as much as you like and not incur added charges. Make sure to read your policy to see if there are any restrictions.

Know before you go

Make sure you check out a few items before you leave the rental lot. You should:

• Inspect the car and determine if there is any damage or scratches. If you notice any, mark it down on the paperwork
• Check the trunk to determine if the spare is inflated and the necessary tools to change it are there
• Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Figure out how to work the radio or entertainment features. It's best to limit any unneeded distractions when you are driving around a new area
