Driving in Alexandria: What You Need to Know

Essential tips for Americans renting a car in Egypt's Mediterranean port city

Can I use my US driver's license in Egypt, or do I need an International Driving Permit?

You MUST have an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your valid US license—your American license alone is NOT legally accepted in Egypt. Get your IDP from AAA or AATA before your trip ($20 fee, same-day processing). Car rental agencies will refuse to hand over keys without both documents, and local police at checkpoints will ask for them. The IDP is valid for one year from issue date.

How chaotic is driving in Alexandria? Will I feel unsafe?

Driving here is intense but manageable if you stay alert. Expect aggressive lane changes, vehicles ignoring lane markings, pedestrians stepping into traffic unexpectedly, and motorbikes weaving between cars. Traffic signals are often treated as suggestions. Horn use is constant—don't take it personally. Avoid driving at night when street lighting is poor and road hazards harder to spot. Defensive driving is essential; maintain extra following distance and expect the unexpected.

Do gas stations accept credit cards, or should I carry cash?

Carry Egyptian pounds (EGP) in cash—most gas stations in Alexandria only accept cash, especially smaller ones. Full-service stations are common (attendants pump for you). Premium gasoline costs around 12-15 EGP per liter ($0.40-0.50 USD). Major stations like Shell and Total in tourist areas may accept cards, but don't count on it. Budget extra cash for fuel and always fill up before long drives outside the city.

What should I expect at police checkpoints around Alexandria?

Security checkpoints are common on major roads, highways, and around tourist areas. Officers typically check your ID, driver's license, IDP, and rental documents—keep copies in an accessible spot. Most checks are quick and routine; remain calm and cooperative. Avoid photographing checkpoints or security personnel. Some highways have toll booths (5-15 EGP), so keep small bills handy. Foreign drivers are rarely hassled if documentation is complete.

Is full-coverage insurance worth it for a rental car in Egypt?

Absolutely yes—purchase the maximum coverage available. Egypt has high rates of minor accidents (scrapes, dents, cracked windshields) due to chaotic traffic and tight parking. Basic CDW often has high deductibles and excludes tires, glass, and undercarriage damage. Your US auto insurance or credit card coverage likely does NOT extend to Egypt. Without full coverage, you could face $500-2,000+ in out-of-pocket costs for even minor damage.

Where can I park in Alexandria, and is my rental car safe?

Street parking is available but tight and chaotic—use paid parking lots near hotels, malls, and tourist sites (10-30 EGP/hour). Never leave valuables visible in the car; break-ins do occur. Some hotels offer secure parking, which is worth the extra cost. Avoid parking in isolated areas or overnight on quiet streets. Consider a steering wheel lock for added security if driving outside Alexandria. The city center has limited parking; staying somewhere with included parking is highly recommended.
