Different countries carnet issuing associations do have different rates, but yes the underwriters have insisted that RAC in UK demand 800%. Absolutely no idea how they justify that, I paid less than 100% to fully import my KTM.
Must agree that flying a bike in to Cairo is asking for about a week of hassle to release it, and shipping to Alex is meant to be worse.
Alternatively, the Ferry into Nuweiba is a fairly painless experience. Tourist police walk you through the customs without too much hassle at all, and yes, would nt even take a tip in my case.
People I know have shipped in and out of Israel then Jordan and the ferry, but you ll have to consider the consequences of an israeli stamp in your passort.
