Car hire in Pakistan: licences, pickup cities and terms

Updated 4 November 2026

Car hire in Pakistan has no confirmed daily or monthly rent in our current data, so the price is set per request. The fastest way to a real figure is to name your dates, your route and whether you need a driver. Paperwork costs are published: the Punjab fee schedule lists about Rs 1,350 for a car or jeep licence renewal.

The price depends on:

• the car class and the number of seats;
• rental dates, and whether the car is needed by the day or by the month;
• with driver or self-drive;
• manual or automatic gearbox;
• the pickup location and the route between cities;
• the renter's age and driving experience;
• the collateral or deposit the seller asks for;
• the monthly rent for long hire.

Licences and documents

Whoever drives needs a valid licence for the vehicle. The search results show that a regular licence in Punjab asks for an original CNIC and a medical certificate issued by an authorised medical practitioner, and that fee notes list Rs 500 for each licence category. Ask the seller to show the licence and the CNIC before the car leaves the yard.

Heat, season and comfort

From May to September the summer is very hot, so ask for working air conditioning and check it on the day of pickup. The mild months from November to March are easier for long drives between cities, and the heat matters less on a long route.

Pickup cities and routes

The main pickup cities are Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Faisalabad. Name the pickup point, the drop-off point and the route in the request, because the route changes the total price for a hire between two cities.

On BlaBlaPrice the request is free. Describe the dates, the route and the driver need in your own words in a chat.
