Sallam Limo’s currently published price ranges provide a practical starting point before you request a confirmed quote.

What Determines the Cost of a Cairo Airport Transfer?
Exact destination and distance
A pickup to Nasr City is different from a journey to western Cairo or Alexandria. Providing the hotel name, district and complete address allows the route to be priced more accurately than naming a governorate alone.
Vehicle category
A sedan is usually practical for one or two travellers with moderate luggage. Families and groups may need an H1 or HiAce van, while an executive vehicle may be preferred for a corporate arrival. A larger or higher-category vehicle changes the quote.
Passenger and luggage capacity
Luggage is just as important as passenger count. Three travellers may fit in a sedan, but several large suitcases may not. Share the number and approximate size of your bags before choosing a car.
Stops and itinerary
A direct airport-to-hotel trip is priced differently from a transfer with multiple drop-offs, an extended wait or an additional stop. Declare the complete itinerary when requesting the quote.
Arrival details and special requests
Your flight number helps coordinate the pickup. Child-seat requests, unusual luggage or a specific capacity should also be mentioned in advance so the booking team can propose a suitable option.
What Does a Pre-Booked Airport Transfer Include?
A pre-arranged transfer is designed to organise the journey from the arrival terminal to your agreed destination. Depending on the confirmed booking, the service covers:
- Scheduled pickup from Cairo International Airport.
- A vehicle selected for your passenger and luggage needs.
- A private driver to the agreed address.
- A confirmed price before the journey.
- Transfers within Greater Cairo or directly to other governorates.

Which Vehicle Should You Book?
Choose the vehicle by usable capacity, not seat count alone. A sedan is normally suitable for a solo traveller, couple or small family with limited bags. A van is a better choice for larger families, groups and bulky luggage. Corporate travellers can request an executive category that matches the nature of their meeting or hotel arrival.
Before confirming, ask about the proposed vehicle category, passenger capacity and luggage space. If you need a chauffeur for meetings or a full-day programme after the airport pickup, review the wider limousine service in Cairo.
How to Get an Accurate Airport Transfer Quote
Send all essential booking information in one message:
- Arrival date and scheduled time.
- Flight number and airline.
- Arrival terminal, if known.
- Hotel or full drop-off address.
- Number of adults and children.
- Number and size of bags.
- Preferred vehicle or special requirements.
Once the details are reviewed, request written confirmation of the vehicle, price and meeting point. Keeping that confirmation gives both you and the provider a clear reference for the pickup.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Arranging a Ride After Landing?
Pre-booking removes several decisions from a busy arrival. You know which vehicle has been requested, whether it can carry your luggage and what the journey is expected to cost. This is especially valuable for families, late-night arrivals, business travellers and passengers continuing directly to another city.
Comparing only the lowest number can be misleading if the vehicle is too small or the route details are incomplete. Compare the full booking: capacity, destination, pickup arrangement, included route and confirmed total.
