How to use InDrive/ride-hailing apps in Hurghada (which car class to pick and how to negotiate the price)

In late August 2026 a participant specifically recommended Comfort: in their words, the price is not much higher, but the ride is far more comfortable than with drivers touting rides outside the hotel.

In August 2026 another traveler confirmed the same approach: they order Comfort and add a little to the fare because they do not like haggling with drivers. In their view, even with the top-up the ride is very cheap compared with taxi prices back home, so haggling is not worth it.

The car class is not a guarantee: in July 2026 a passenger wrote that a Comfort order sometimes brings a wreck of a car, and it is unclear how InDrive selects vehicles. More often, she said, you get a good car with a clean interior and air conditioning.

In July 2026 a participant advised that you can get a ride however you like, even by flagging one down, but the fare must be agreed before you get in. The participant prefers InDrive and offers slightly more than the recommended fare; if a driver asks for much more, it is better not to negotiate with them.

Another traveler said in July 2026 that they always raise the price a little from the start and order Comfort. In their experience, Comfort and Premium mostly come with quiet drivers, pleasant music and clean cars, and a bad ride happened for the first time in all their use of the app.
