Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Hurghada are: Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Opel Zafira, Peugeot 807 7 seater, VW Touran, Citroen Picasso, Hyundai Trajet 7 seater and others.

Standard capacity of a minivan in Egypt is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.

Please note, that in order to rent in Egypt a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.

Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Hurghada.

Before leaving the parking garage in Hurghada, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Driving Advices for Egypt – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities

The local police have the right to charge fines right on the spot. Foreign drivers will be pleased with quite a nice "bonus" – if you pay the fine on the spot, its amount will be reduced by half.

During past several years, fines for non-compliance with the traffic regulations have been increased greatly in Egypt. The fine for the unfastened seat belt ranges from 100 to 300 pounds. The fine of the same amount is charged for talking on a cell phone while driving. Such violations as wrong parking, self-dismantling of wheel locks and creation of emergency situation on the road may result in cancellation of the driving license.

We simply cannot fail to mention helpfulness and friendly attitude of local motorists. For example, if you stop at the roadside to take pictures of a beautiful place, in a couple of minutes one of local drivers will stop near you and will ask whether you need some help.

Travelling in minivan through Hurghada

Hurghada: topics

Going on vacation in Hurghada, it would be wise to get familiar with intricacies of the local culture. Travelers should pay special attention to the fact that certain aspects of behavior are different from those in a number of European countries. Paying the seller at the market or in the store, it’s worth to thank only after you have taken the change. If you say ‘thank you,’ before change appears, it will be treated as a desire to leave a tip, so the seller won’t give away the change. It should be noted that it is customary to leave a tip literally everywhere; the sum is generally about 5-10 % of services rendered.
Those who expect to make new friends and interact with local business partners should remember that a man always has a priority comparing to a woman. According to local rules of etiquette, a man should be presented to a group first. To show respect to new acquaintances, you should definitely say ‘Fours Said,’ which means ‘Nice to meet you.’

Tourists who visit the city on business matters should not rush into discussion of critical business issues. Townspeople are used to make decisions slowly and don’t differ with punctuality. Business partners may be late for an appointment with no explanation or apology from them. This attitude shouldn’t be regarded as contempt, as it is just one of many features of the national mentality.
