KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Alexandria

  • A hire car in Alexandria offers you greater flexibility than if you were to travel using a different mode of transport, such as a bus, taxi or train. This is due to the fact that you can leave at a time suited to you, rather than waiting for taxis or public transport. For example, if you were to go to the nearby town of Kafr El-Dawar, it can take about 40min by car. You can’t make this journey on public transport, so the only other option would be to wait and pay for a taxi to become available.
  • Borg El Arab International Airport (HBE) offers a range of car hire companies for you to choose from, including Europcar and SIXT. You can locate the agencies easily inside the terminal too, so it won’t be long before you’re on your way. For example, you’ll find SIXT located inside the arrivals hall of the international terminal, close to the exit on your right. Once you’ve filled in the required documents, you will then be taken to your car.
  • When you get a hire car in Alexandria, you will see that it’s a popular port city in the Mediterranean. It welcomes lots of tourists in the summer months, especially history and architecture lovers. Due to its popularity, you can expect there to be lots of tourists crossing the streets in places that aren’t designated pedestrian crossings. There are also lots of people on bicycles and mopeds in the centre. You, therefore, need to make sure you’re regularly looking at your mirrors, to ensure it’s safe to turn or switch lanes.
  • When you get a hire car in Alexandria, there’s lots of traffic throughout the year, which peaks during the summer months. This is especially the case during rush hour, which is from 8 am to 9 am and from 4 pm to 6 pm in the evening. If you want to avoid the roads when they’re at their busiest, you should stay clear of these times. One road that can be especially busy is Suez Canal Road, which connects the centre of the city to the port. It’s recommended you try to avoid this road and find alternative routes.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Alexandria?

    The city is very popular with those wanting a holiday filled with history and famous architecture. As it’s an old city, the roads are narrow too. For these reasons, it’s suggested that you opt for a compact car, so you can navigate the roads and park with ease. Alternatively, if you want to travel into the desert, you would be better off choosing a car that is more robust. For example, an SUV is better for off-road driving, as many have 4x4 capabilities as well as enhanced handling for uneven surfaces. Be sure to check that off-road driving is allowed in your hire vehicle before doing so.

  • What’s the speed limit in Alexandria?

    It’s important you stay within the speed limits when driving in your Alexandria hire car. If you don’t, you may receive a fine from the local authorities and have a higher likelihood of an accident. If you’re on a desert motorway, you can drive as fast as 100 km/h. On other roads outside of the cities, you can go as fast as 90 km/h. Once you reach a city or town like Alexandria, you must lower your speed to no more than 60 km/h.

  • Where are the best places to park in Alexandria?

    There are a lot of places to park in Alexandria, many of which charge a small fee. For example, you can park at Sporting Parking, close to El-Gaish Road. This costs about LE 20 (A$ 1.50) per day. Alternatively, there is a parking area on Al Mesallah Sharq Road, which is free of charge. However, to ensure you get a space, it’s wise to arrive there early.
