Can I use InDrive or local taxis from Hurghada hotels, and will they be allowed through the hotel gate?

At resort entry checkpoints, the taxi driver’s documents may be checked. Notifying reception or providing the vehicle plate alone may be insufficient, so admission can depend on whether the taxi meets security requirements.

To have an outside car admitted to the hotel grounds, agree on the pickup time with the driver in advance and obtain the vehicle’s plate number; provide it to reception or security for entry clearance.

Some Hurghada hotels run shared trips into town. Sign-up is commonly handled at reception in the morning, often with several departure-time options; ask about availability as soon as you check in.

InDrive is available in Hurghada, so you can book a car through the app rather than using the hotel transfer. Set the hotel entrance or gate as the pickup point in advance.

For the return trip from town, travelers use an autoline minibus near the mosque and tell the driver their hotel name. Confirm that the route goes close to your hotel before boarding.

Hotel taxis can cost about five times more than a local car or an app booking. Check the InDrive fare before accepting a transfer offered at reception.

Rules for outside taxis vary between Hurghada hotels: some allow cars onto the grounds, while others require guests to meet them at the gate. Check with the hotel before booking.
