What is ContactCars?
ContactCars is a long-established Egyptian automotive marketplace covering both new and used cars, with a dealer network and integrated auto services (including financing via Contact Financial). It offers structured new-car spec databases alongside used-car listings, giving it both transactional and reference data. Estimated traffic is ~1-2M monthly visits.
Market Position
ContactCars is a leading new+used auto marketplace in Egypt (~1-2M monthly visits, est.; thousands of listings), differentiated by its dealer network and integrated auto-finance offering. Alongside Dubizzle Egypt and Hatla2ee, it is one of the three core Egyptian auto sources Carapis covers — ContactCars adds dealer-network and new-car spec depth where the classifieds add private-seller breadth.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a structured record from each ContactCars listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, body type, fuel type, transmission
- Specification — new-car spec data and trim details
- Condition — mileage (used listings)
- Pricing — listed price (in EGP)
- Listing context — dealer info, location, photo gallery
The combination of dealer inventory and structured new-car specs makes ContactCars useful for both pricing and specification reference in the Egyptian market.
