Cairo Car Rental Mini Guide
Cairo is, archaeologically, one of the most important cities in the world. With your rental car you can visit the must-see Giza Pyramid Complex and Cairo Museum which holds some of the greatest archaeological treasures in the world.
Cairo Airport serves the city and plenty of airlines fly there as it is a major hub for Africa and the Middle East. You can also visit it on a cruise from
Cyprus. If you are looking at collecting a hire car from Cairo or Cairo airport, we advise prebooking online with Rhino Car Hire, car rental vehicles can get booked out quickly and this way you will reserve the vehicle you require at the absolute best price. If you are hiring a car in Egypt for the first time, we recommend reading our
Drive Smart Egypt guide to ensure you know the rules of the road and can drive safely in and around Cairo.
