Luxor Travel and Transport: Luxor Car Rental - Luxor, Egypt, EG
Fuel is exceptionally cheap in Luxor, when compared to Europe and North America, so car rental can provide visitors with an inexpensive and convenient way to travel around. There are car rental companies located at the airport and in the city, but visitors to Luxor should note that vehicles will only be rented to those who are over 25 years old. As a rule, the Egyptians drive somewhat erratically and hence visitors are advised to be exceedingly wary of potential hazards from other road users.
