How do I book a private airport transfer?
Choose an available transfer through Instant Booking, or send the journey details through our Plan Your Trip form if you need a custom route. Please include your flight number, arrival date, destination, passenger count and luggage requirements.
Can you plan a tailor-made Egypt itinerary?
Yes. You can request private transport for a tailored itinerary covering one city or several Egyptian destinations. Share your preferred stops, number of days, accommodation locations and any attractions you would like to visit so we can review what is practical.
Can I book a one-way transfer, return journey or multi-stop trip?
Yes. Request a one-way transfer, a return journey or a trip with several stops. For a multi-stop journey, include the order of destinations and the time you would like to spend at each place.
How far in advance should I book?
Book as soon as your travel plans are reasonably firm, especially for larger groups, long-distance routes and trips during busy travel periods. Short-notice requests can be reviewed, but availability must be confirmed.
Can I arrange transport for more than one day?
Yes. Send us your dates, overnight destinations and daily route. We can discuss a private vehicle and driver for consecutive travel days, subject to route and availability.
Can you collect us from a hotel instead of an airport?
Yes. Hotel, accommodation and other agreed pick-up points can be included in a private transfer request. Provide the full property name and address when you book.
Prices, inclusions and payment
Your quote should make the route and included services clear before you confirm.
How much does a private transfer in Egypt cost?
The price depends on the route, vehicle, travel date, number of passengers, waiting time and requested stops. Use Instant Booking for an available route or request a personalised quote for a longer or more complex journey.
Are transfer prices per person or per vehicle?
Check the price description shown for your chosen service. Private transfer quotes are generally based on the vehicle and agreed journey, while attraction tickets and optional services may be priced separately. Your booking details should confirm the exact basis before payment.
Are prices fixed after a booking is confirmed?
Your confirmed booking should state the agreed journey and price. A change to the route, passenger count, vehicle, waiting time or requested services may require a revised quote. Please check the confirmation for the exact inclusions.
Does the transfer price include attraction entry tickets?
Do not assume attraction tickets are included in a transfer price. Entry fees, special-access tickets, guides, boat trips and optional activities are separate unless your specific booking or written quote expressly includes them.
Will I have to pay for parking, tolls or extra stops?
Inclusions depend on the particular route and quote. Ask for parking, tolls, waiting time and additional stops to be itemised or confirmed before booking, especially for a custom sightseeing journey.
Do children pay the same price for attraction tickets?
Ticket categories and child eligibility are set by each attraction and can change. Share the children’s ages when asking for tickets so the current applicable options can be checked.
Can I pay in advance or when I travel?
Available payment methods and any required advance payment depend on the booking. Review the checkout or written quote before confirming; request clarification if you would prefer a particular payment method.
Can you quote a trip in another currency?
Ask us to state the quote currency clearly before you confirm. Your payment provider may apply its own exchange rate or transaction charges, which are outside the journey price.

Where will I meet the driver at the airport?
The meeting instructions depend on the airport and your booking. Your confirmation should identify the agreed meeting point and contact procedure; follow those instructions after collecting your luggage.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Provide the correct flight number so your arrival can be checked. If your flight changes significantly or you are moved to another flight, contact us as soon as possible. Any resulting change to the booking or waiting time will be handled according to your confirmation.
Can I book an airport pick-up and sightseeing on the same day?
Yes, you can request an airport pick-up followed by sightseeing. The workable route depends on your actual arrival time, luggage, attraction opening times and onward travel plans.
Vehicles, groups and accessibility
What type of vehicle will I have?
The vehicle depends on your group size, luggage and booked service. Options may include private cars, larger family vehicles, minivans and vehicles for groups. The suitable vehicle type should be confirmed for your particular trip.
Can you accommodate a large group?
Yes, group transport can be requested. Tell us how many adults and children are travelling, how much luggage you have and whether you need one vehicle or several so we can check an appropriate option.
Can I bring large suitcases or sports equipment?
Usually, but luggage space must be checked against the vehicle. List large suitcases, pushchairs, wheelchairs and oversized items before booking so that an appropriately sized vehicle can be discussed.
Are child seats available?
Request child seats in advance and provide each child’s age and approximate size. Availability and the seat type need to be confirmed for your vehicle and journey.
Can you arrange a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?
Tell us about your access needs before booking, including whether you must remain seated in the wheelchair during travel. We will check what suitable vehicle or assistance can be arranged for your route; accessibility cannot be assumed from a standard vehicle listing.
Is the vehicle shared with other travellers?
A service described and confirmed as a private transfer is reserved for your booking. Check the service description when selecting any other type of trip or activity.

Yes. These destinations can be included in a private Cairo sightseeing request. Share your priorities and available time so we can plan a sensible order of stops.

Can I visit Philae Temple with a private driver?
Yes. Private road transport can take you to the departure point for Philae Temple. The temple is on an island, so boat transport and entry arrangements must be checked separately when planning the visit.

Are Pyramids tickets included in a Giza transfer?
No admission should be assumed from a transfer booking. Ask specifically about Giza Plateau entry and any additional access you want, since certain areas or experiences may require separate tickets.
Is Grand Egyptian Museum entry included in a transfer?
Grand Egyptian Museum entry is included only if your booking explicitly says so. Ask for the applicable admission option and any guide service to be quoted before you confirm.
Do Luxor attraction tickets include every tomb?
Do not assume a general site ticket covers every tomb or special-access area. Ticket types and access rules can change. Specify the tombs you hope to enter so the current options can be checked.
Can I request a licensed Egyptologist guide?
Yes, ask for a licensed guide when submitting your itinerary. A private driver and a sightseeing guide are different services, so confirm the guide’s location, language, duration and price in your quote.
Can you arrange sightseeing without a guide?
Yes. You can request private vehicle and driver service for an agreed sightseeing route without a guide. The driver provides transport; specialist commentary or guiding should be requested separately.

No. Opening times, admission categories, ticket availability and prices can change. Check the current details for your travel date, particularly for special visits, religious holidays and sites with limited access.
Changes, cancellations and support
Can I change my pick-up time or destination after booking?
Contact us as soon as you know about a change. A new pick-up time or destination is subject to availability and may change the journey price. A change is confirmed only once you receive updated booking details.
What is the cancellation policy?
The cancellation terms that apply to your trip are the ones provided with your booking or quote. Review them before confirming, especially where attraction tickets, guides or other advance arrangements are involved.
What if I cannot find my driver?
Go to the meeting point in your booking instructions and use the contact details supplied in your confirmation. Let us know where you are before leaving the airport or arranging alternative transport.
