Hours of Operation
The car rental counters at Sphinx International Airport generally align their operating hours with the airport's flight schedule, staying open to accommodate all arriving flights.
However, it is crucial to confirm the specific hours for your rental company, especially if you are arriving on a very late-night or early-morning flight. Your QEEQ booking voucher contains the exact operating hours and contact information for the local branch.
Before You Travel
We strongly recommend reviewing the operating hours and contact information on your QEEQ booking voucher before you travel to avoid any potential issues.
