The biggest trap at Hurghada Airport is arriving with only a debit card, as all 8 desks refuse them entirely. Budget holds a steep deposit of around $1,991, compared to $497 at Europcar or Alamo. All desks sit right in the terminal, meaning you will at least dodge shuttle buses even if you cannot dodge the credit check. Keep a credit card in the driver's name with enough spare limit to cover the hold.

An Economy car like the Chevrolet Aveo at Hurghada Airport costs around $35 a day in October 2026, but it only fits a small group with luggage. It seats 5 people but holds only 2 bags, so a full party with luggage will want an Intermediate car like the Nissan Sentra at $59, which takes 4 bags. If you travel light, a Mini car such as the Hyundai i10 seats 4 with 1 bag and runs about $31 a day.
