Renting a Car After Arriving at Cairo Airport

Arriving in Cairo is easier when the first hour is planned before the flight. If you want a rental car at the airport, separate the choices you can make now from the details the rental team must confirm. El Fahd lists Cairo Airport as a delivery option and asks for 24 hours of notice for airport handover. An online request starts the conversation; it does not reserve a specific car or fix a meeting point.

Send the details that make handover possible

Share your arrival date, flight number, expected landing time, terminal if known, passenger count and luggage needs. State whether you want to drive yourself or request a driver. The team can then discuss a suitable car and realistic collection time.

If the airport option is unavailable for your date, ask whether collection from the Mariouteya branch or delivery to another agreed address would work.

Confirm the exact meeting plan

Before travelling, ask the team to confirm the terminal, meeting point, contact number, handover time and what happens if baggage or immigration takes longer than expected. The website does not publish a fixed airport meeting point or airport delivery fee. Request those details, including any driver or delivery charge, in the final written offer. Also confirm where and when you will return the car if your departure flight leaves from a different place.

Keep documents and the offer ready

Visitors should have a valid passport and a valid driving licence for a self-drive request. El Fahd accepts Egyptian and international driving licences; ask the team to review your particular document before travel. The minimum driver age is 18. The company does not require a security deposit. Keep the agreed car, dates, pickup details, total charge and daily mileage allowance together, and ask the team to confirm what the included insurance covers, so you can check everything at handover.

The displayed car rental price is final for the selected car and period, while separately requested driver or delivery services may need a confirmed charge. Payment is made at pickup, and El Fahd accepts cash, card and bank transfer. Only the team's confirmation settles the car and arrival arrangement.

Send an airport request before you fly, then travel with a written handover plan.
