Pros:

Driving in Egypt is NOT easy for western tourists, but having a rental car was critical to having the best Egypt experience. Avis offered a great deal on unlimited miles and pick up was easy. Drop off was so clear, but after 10 days in Egypt, your expectations of order and process will be recalibrated. Considering that, drop off wasn’t bad. There were no clear instruction where to return, so a best guess had us parking pretty much anywhere then calling the Avis rep to meet you out front. Be sure to write down your Avis rep’s phone and contact info. We had a Vodaphone local SIM card to make and receive local calls. Available at the airport and all over Egypt for cheap.

Cons:

Would have been nice to have a more streamlined drop off process. I ended up walking across the airport trying to figure it out. Compared to US car rental return, no quite as smooth. Compared to ANYTHING in Egypt, returning the car was one of the easier things to accomplish. Prepare to be flexible and creative.

They did not honer my first reservation. I made sure when they called me before I travel that I will be at 11:00 pm and gave them my flight number. When I came out of the arrival gate no one was at their booth. I called there number 3 times but no one answered. I had to leave by taxi at a high rate. I called from my hotel, explained the situation so they promised to keep my reservation to pick up the car at 1pm next day. When I went to the airport, I found they cancelled the reservation. Had to make another reservation at a high prices. It is really a bad situation. They were not a professional car rental. I will not go there again!!!

The car was having many mechanical problems, high kilométrage, didn’t feel safe driving it most of the time. Issues with the brakes and balance. It seems like it had a big collision recently and didn’t get the proper fix.

The rental company is not in the airport. It is off site and you have to call someone to come and pick you up. They also wanted to take $5000 deposit on the Credit Card. I showed them the rules on priceline saying that tge max is €2000 then they put a hold for that amount. The car was dirty and scratched in several places, with one hopcap missing. Also I reserved unlimited milage and they tried to tell me it is limited. Over all bad experience. I would not rent with them again.
