TL;DR
Travelers report that a ride to central Hurghada in inDrive can show around EGP 150, and if the fare is fixed in the app, that is usually the expected price. For a more predictable ride, many recommend ABC Taxi: it may cost slightly more, but they give a final fare upfront and do not haggle.
To get an inDrive request accepted faster, choose the premium category and raise the offer by about EGP 30–50; waits may still be longer in outlying parts of Hurghada.
When ordering a taxi from the airport, allow for a possible airport-entry charge of about EGP 30. Confirm both the amount and currency in advance, as it may be misrepresented as USD 30.
For a more dependable inDrive ride, choose the premium category and offer a little above the initial fare; this may improve the chance of being picked up by a suitable driver and car.
Before getting into an inDrive car, match its plate number to the app details and keep a screenshot, including the Arabic numerals. Show and confirm the fare with the driver before departure; if paying cash, use the exact amount after getting out and collecting your belongings.
