Egyptian motor insurance in Aswan
 
Can anybody recommend a place in Aswan to get motor insurance, the two places that we have tried have both said that from 1st September you must buy 12 months at a cost of 50 pounds sterling for cars and 15 pounds for bikes, does anybody know if this is correct or are they just trying to get more money out of us, is it still possible to get 1 months cover

I got insurance there around the 1st july and it didnt cost that. It could be the law hass changed but one thing for sure is that they ( the egyptian authorities) are my least favourite people in the whole world.
stay trying is all i can advise you

it has gone up
 
My fellow travellers and I have just got out of the terminal at Aswan with our vehicles and the bad news is that you now have to buy 12 months insurance for Egypt no matter what your length of stay. We checked with 3 insurance companies and it was the same everywhere, 512 Egyptian pounds for a car and 158 for a bike, add to that 500 odd pounds for registration, a few quid here and there for the butcher, baker and candlestick maker and Egypt is one very expensive place to drive, that is after the 800 percent carnet.
