03

Which company is cheapest at Cairo International Airport, and what do I give up?

Alamo is cheapest at Cairo International Airport for an Intermediate car, averaging £28 a day over the last 12 months from 1,342 prices, but you need a credit card for its £568 deposit. Alamo's desk is at the airport, and Alamo does not yet have enough reviews for a score. Hertz averages £36 a day for an Intermediate car over the same 12 months from 825 prices, £8 more a day, but holds a smaller £379 deposit. Compare both the daily price and the card hold before choosing.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

04

Can I trust the cheapest car hire company at Cairo International Airport?

At Cairo International Airport, Alamo averages £28 a day for an Intermediate car over the last 12 months, but Alamo does not yet have enough reviews for a score, so price alone should not decide your choice. Alamo's average covers 1,342 prices; it is a price benchmark, not a reliability rating. Enterprise also does not yet have enough reviews for a score, and its desk wait averages 25 minutes. If you choose Enterprise, allow for that wait before arranging anything immediately after pickup.

Review scores are CarTrawler customers' own, from the last five months; the score and the desk wait sit beside each car in the results.

How much deposit do I need, and can I use a debit card at Cairo International Airport?

At Cairo International Airport, deposits range from £379 with Hertz or Europcar to £1,515 with Budget, and all 9 desks require a credit card, so check your available credit before booking. If you need a debit card, filter for it before comparing prices; none of these 9 desks accepts one. Check the deposit and card rule beside each car against your available credit.

07

Which car size should I choose at Cairo International Airport, and is it automatic?

For 4 people with luggage, choose a Hyundai Tucson-sized Intermediate at Cairo International Airport for £38 a day in November 2026 around a month before your trip: it seats 5 but takes 4 bags. A Compact such as a Nissan Sunny averages £24 a day on that timing, £14 less a day, but seats 5 with room for only 2 bags, so choose it only if your luggage fits. A luxury car such as a Mercedes C Class averages £94 a day on the same timing without increasing the 4-bag allowance. Over the last 12 months, 100% of cars offered are automatic, so you can choose by luggage space rather than gearbox. Electric and hybrid cars are not offered, so plan your choice around a car that needs refuelling.
