The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Cairo are: Nissan Pathfinder 4WD, Toyota Landcruiser, Toyota Fortuner, Daihatsu Terios, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Tuscon and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Egypt ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Egypt are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
In Egypt, parking on the street is free, but even in such circumstances you will find it really hard to find a free space. Do not leave the car near residences of politicians, as well as nearby government buildings. Inexperienced drivers should always pay attention to local drivers and the places they choose to park their vehicles. If they leave their cars on some road, then everyone can do the same.
Of course, there are paid parking lots in all cities of the country. The cost of using a paid parking space is about 5 pounds, and if you need to leave the car at a parking lot for a whole day, it will cost you from 15 to 20 pounds.
Some highways in Egypt are paid. These roads are traditionally considered to be of the highest quality. Of course, they are the most comfortable roads for driving. Toll roads are divided into sections. The cost of using one section is approximately 5 pounds.
