How much does a taxi from CAI cost?

A private transfer from Cairo International Airport to Downtown costs $68 for the whole car — a fixed price confirmed at booking, covering the 22 km drive of roughly 40 minutes for up to three passengers. Larger vehicles are priced per class in the table above, so a family of six pays one van fare rather than two taxi fares.

Airport taxi ranks at CAI price by meter or by local zone, so the amount you pay depends on traffic, time of day, luggage surcharges and — where meters are not used — on the fare you negotiate at the kerb. Late-night arrivals are usually the most expensive moment to bargain. Our price is the same figure at 03:00 as at midday, quoted before you travel and paid by card, PayPal or cash to the driver.

What the fare includes: a named chauffeur waiting in arrivals with a name board, flight tracking so a delayed landing costs nothing, free waiting time, all tolls and parking, child seats on request, and free cancellation. There is no extra charge for luggage, for a second stop agreed in advance, or for paying in a different currency.

Where the driver meets you at CAI

Cairo International Airport operates Terminal 1, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall, just past customs, holding a board with your name — you never have to find a rank or a car park.

The evening before travel you receive your driver's name, photo and phone number by email and WhatsApp, so you can message them the moment you land. If you clear customs early, they are already there; if you are held up, the waiting time is free.

What happens if my flight to Cairo is delayed?

Nothing changes and nothing costs extra. We track your flight number automatically, so the pickup time moves with the aircraft, whether that is twenty minutes or five hours. You do not need to call us or rebook.

Sixty minutes of waiting after landing is included as standard, which covers passport control and baggage on a normal arrival. Cancellations are free, so a missed connection is never a lost fare.
