💶 Hurghada Airport Transfer Guide: Prices — What to Expect
Prices at the airport aren’t standardized.
They can change based on:
- time of day
- demand
- driver negotiation
- whether you’re a tourist or local
- distance to your resort
Because the price isn’t always agreed clearly before the trip, many tourists end up paying more than necessary.
With private transfers, the total is:
✔ agreed in advance
✔ per vehicle, not per person
✔ includes fuel & driver service
✔ no extra fees when you arrive
That peace of mind is the main reason many travelers choose to pre-book instead of negotiating at the curb.
👉 You can see examples on our
Hurghada airport transfer price list

✔ Fixed Price
You know the total cost before you land — no arguments, no surprises.
