Written before you set off
Fuel, road tolls and the rest stop, all inside the written figure.
60 minutes of waiting at the destination.
A rest stop named in the quotation before you travel, and a second stop when children or older passengers are travelling.
No shopping stops, and no commission of any kind to the chauffeur.
The price we send is the price you pay. Any additional item appears in the quotation itself, never after it.
Choose the class, and as many cars of it as you need
You reserve a class, not a named car. The car itself is assigned the day before, and its plate and photograph reach you with the chauffeur's details.

6 adults, 2 children and 8 suitcases — will one car hold us?Check it now
The road, and the same car still with you at the other end
The family going to Alexandria with four suitcases and a grandmother, who would rather not manage luggage on a railway platform. The guest taking a weekend on the North Coast who wants the car to stay with him once he has arrived, rather than start looking for another one.
One request can hold several services — a car, an airport arrival, a hotel — and one written quotation covers all of them.
How the journey runs
1. The journey
You tell us where from, where to, and whether you return the same day.
2. The quotation
The quotation names the road, the door-to-door time and the rest stop.
3. The departure
The chauffeur arrives 15 minutes early and leaves at the hour written.
Know your chauffeur before you meet
The day before your journey, one message reaches you: the chauffeur’s name and number, the car photographed with its plate, and the pickup time.
- We do not publish photographs of our chauffeurs. We publish their names, their years of service, the languages they speak, and written standards you can read.
- The chauffeur’s number opens two hours before pickup and closes when the journey ends.
- If the chauffeur or the car changes for any reason, a new message reaches you before the appointment.
Waiting, stops and rest
- Waiting at the destination is 60 minutes, and 15 minutes at each pickup in the city.
- Cancellation: free up to 24 hours before the appointed time, and half the agreed price after that.
- A chauffeur rests at least 9 hours before a night drive and never drives more than 6 consecutive days.
- The outward and return journeys can be written into one quotation, with the waiting time between them counted in.

What people ask about this service
Does the figure include the return?
It does if you ask for the return in the same request. Otherwise the figure covers the outward journey only, and the quotation says plainly which of the two you are reading.
Do you drive at night?
Yes, provided the chauffeur has had his full rest and it is not his third journey of the same day. If it is, we say so and propose another hour.
How long does Cairo to Alexandria really take?
220 km, 2:40 on a clear road, and 3:15 to 3:45 door to door. The same real figures for the North Coast, Ain Sokhna and Hurghada are on the route pages.
