Documents Required to Rent a Car in Egypt Without a Driver

Before booking a self-drive rental car, it's helpful to know which documents you need so everything is ready for a smooth and quick pickup.

Required documents

For Egyptian customers, a valid national ID and a valid driving license suitable for the vehicle category are required.

For foreign customers, a valid passport and either an international driving license or a valid driving license from your home country may be required.

Refundable security deposit

Most rental companies require a refundable security deposit when the car is returned in good condition. The deposit amount varies depending on the vehicle category, so it's best to confirm it before booking.

Additional requirements

Some rental companies may have minimum age and driving experience requirements. At Al Fares, the minimum age is 21, with at least one year of driving experience.

Our procedures are clear and straightforward, with the rental terms explained before booking.

For international visitors

If you're visiting Egypt from abroad, make sure your passport and driving license are valid before booking. If you're unsure which documents apply to your situation, contact us before your pickup date.
