I am about to move to Egypt from the United States. I am 34 years old and have been in the states since I was 3 years old. I have had my drivers license since I was 16 years old. I want to buy a reliable used car for a good price. Is there an online catalog with prices that I can look at. I am just wondering the average price. I have a 2002 honda accord here in the states so I would like something as reliable. Also is it easy to get a drivers license there in Egypt. I dont speak arabic that well but I am learning now. I also heard that driving in Egypt is dangerous, Is that correct. Lastly is everybody required to buy car insurance in Egypt so if you get in a car accident its covered. Thats how it is in the states and I was wondering if its like that there
Answer
Cars in Egypt . Ball is in my park.
You drive a Honda , you'll be better set with a late 90's Honda Civic. front wheel drive and well .. think of it as a miniature Accord. I am a BMW person , So i cant help you much here.
Cars in Egypt are really OVERPRICED comparing to abroad. a late 90's civic can cost up to 60K Egyptian pounds. Stick to the used cars , stay away from local alexandrian cars , Sea salt aint good for the lower structure. Try choosing a decently used car , be aware that any cars that get hit or flipped here get repaired, and you might come across cars with a complete front/rear clip change. (yea , they cut cars in halfs and reweld them with new halfs here.)
Driving in Egypt is like playing GT4. Get prepared to a really agressive and defensive driving style.
License in Egypt is easy to get. Apply for a personal license , you should be able to read arabic and answer the "computer exam" . you'll have to get a mini handbook with some info in arabic in it, wich you need to read and understand , as questions usually are choosen from it.
Another way is to check with your embassy , they make life easier for you here.
Check this site : www.car100100.com to have an idea about prices. NEVER BUY A CAR ONLINE OR OFFLINE WITHOUT INSPECTING IT OR GETTING IT INSPECTED.
A third way is to Pay and get it done. (Corruption rules , you just have to locate the right people)
Car insurance : there are two kind of car insurance. First one you pay while you register your car , that aint much , and is paied every year or 3 years (choose to register your car every 3 years , it aint an easy task) . The second one (the kind you speak of) is not obigatory here. When you get in a car accident , first thing to do is REPORT IT TO THE POLICE , AND PREPARE CASH TO "WORK THINGS OUT" if it is your fault.
Any further questions , feel free to ask.
