Pakistan car rental rates in 2026 start near Rs 4,000 a day for a chauffeur-driven hatchback and reach Rs 28,000 to Rs 30,000 for a Land Cruiser, with fuel and tolls usually extra. For most solo travelers and couples, a Corolla or Yaris at roughly Rs 5,000 to Rs 6,500 is the best pick. Families should look at a BRV or Hiace, executives at a Civic or Fortuner, and wedding parties at a Prado plus a coaster. Booking a full week instead of three days cuts the daily cost by about a quarter.

The trouble is that quotes rarely line up. One operator prices a with-driver day, another a 24-hour self-drive day, and a booking platform shows a self-drive rate that can be double both. Comparing those numbers tells you nothing until you know what each one includes.

This guide puts them on one scale. Rehan Rent A Car has rented cars in Karachi since 2012, so we quote these categories every week. Below you will see how rates are built, eight vehicle categories with typical daily prices, how cities differ, and how to pay less.

How Pakistan car rental rates are structured

Pakistan car rental rates combine three things: a daily base price, a duty-hour limit, and extras billed separately. A base price only becomes comparable once you know all three.

Daily, weekend and weekly pricing

Operators publish a per-day rate, a multi-day tour package, and a discounted monthly rate. Most price lists show no separate weekend tariff. When you ask about rental car weekend rates, expect a two or three-day package price rather than a fixed weekend discount, and state your exact pickup and return times.

The table below converts published tour packages into a per-day figure. These packages cover trips beyond city limits, so compare package with package, not with a city day rate.

Rental car rates per week drop by 24 to 27 percent per day against the three-day package in every row. Monthly plans go further. Rehan Rent A Car lists monthly rentals at discounted per-day rates, so ask for the monthly figure and the daily hours it assumes.

Weekly packages cut the per-day price by roughly a quarter, so never multiply a daily rate by seven.

What the quoted rate leaves out

A headline price covers the car and, with a chauffeur, the driver’s time. Fuel, tolls and parking are normally billed on top, and out-of-city trips can add a driver meal allowance. Ask for each item before you agree.

• Fuel: you either refill the tank to full on return or pay a per-kilometer fuel rate.
• Duty hours: a chauffeur day is commonly about 11 hours, ending at midnight. Ask what happens after that.
• Advance payment: some operators ask nothing for sedans and 50 percent for luxury vehicles, while others require an advance on every booking.
• Cancellation: ask about fees before you pay.

Chauffeur-driven or self-drive

Most published Pakistani price lists are chauffeur-driven. Some operators do not rent without a driver at all, so self-drive availability is itself a filter. A self-drive day is normally a full 24 hours, while a chauffeur day follows duty hours.

Rehan Rent A Car offers both. Self-drive needs a CNIC, a valid license and a deposit. Chauffeur service is the most requested option, because it removes parking, traffic and route stress in Karachi.

1. Economy hatchbacks like the Suzuki Alto and Cultus

Economy hatchbacks are the cheapest entry in Pakistan car rental rates, at about Rs 4,000 a day with a driver. They suit short city trips with one to three people.

Typical daily rate

Published city price lists show the Suzuki Cultus and Wagon R at Rs 4,000 per day. Both are air-conditioned four-seaters quoted within city limits with a driver, and fuel and tolls are billed separately.

• Suzuki Cultus: about Rs 4,000 per day
• Suzuki Wagon R: about Rs 4,000 per day
• Suzuki Alto: ask for a current quote, since it sits in the same economy tier

Rs 4,000 a day is the floor for a chauffeur-driven car, so a lower quote deserves questions about what is excluded.

What you get

Expect small engines and limited luggage space. That works for errands and meetings but gets tight on airport runs with suitcases. Rehan Rent A Car keeps the Suzuki Alto at the economy end of its fleet, next to the Corolla and Yaris.

• Air conditioning and four seats
• A driver for the duty day
• Fuel, tolls and parking billed separately

Who it suits

Budget-conscious daily renters get the most from this tier. Think office commutes, shopping days, and hospital or school runs where you need a car for hours, not a statement.

Skip it for long highway trips or four adults with bags. A compact sedan costs only Rs 500 to Rs 2,500 more per day and fixes both problems.

2. Compact sedans like the Corolla, Yaris and City

Compact sedans cost Rs 4,500 to Rs 6,500 a day with a driver. They are the default choice in Pakistan car rental rates for anyone who wants comfort without a luxury bill.

Typical daily rate

The spread comes from city and operator. Lahore lists show the Corolla Gli at Rs 5,300 to Rs 5,950 and the Yaris at Rs 5,500 to Rs 6,000, while an Islamabad list shows Rs 6,500 for the Corolla, Yaris and City.

• Honda City: Rs 4,500 to Rs 6,500
• Toyota Yaris: Rs 5,000 to Rs 6,500
• Toyota Corolla Gli: Rs 5,300 to Rs 6,500

A Corolla or Yaris at Rs 5,000 to Rs 6,500 is the benchmark every other quote should be measured against.

What you get

These cars seat three adults and one child in comfort, with air conditioning and both manual and automatic options listed. Fuel economy is good, which matters when fuel is billed to you.

Rehan Rent A Car’s fleet includes the Corolla and Yaris. You can take them chauffeur-driven or self-drive, depending on the trip.

Who it suits

Business visitors, couples and small families get the best balance of price and comfort here. It is also the usual choice for pickups at Jinnah International Airport when you travel light.

Step up to a Civic only when appearance matters, such as meeting a client or hosting a guest. For everyone else, the money is better spent on a longer booking.

3. Mid-size sedans like the Civic and Corolla Altis

Mid-size sedans run Rs 6,500 to Rs 10,000 per day with a driver. In Pakistan car rental rates, the Corolla Altis sits at the low end and the Honda Civic at the high end.

Typical daily rate

A Corolla Altis 1.6 is listed at Rs 6,500 and the Altis Grande at Rs 7,500. The Honda Civic runs Rs 7,500 to Rs 8,000 in Lahore and Rs 10,000 in Islamabad.

• Corolla Altis 1.6: about Rs 6,500
• Corolla Altis Grande 1.8: about Rs 7,500
• Honda Civic: Rs 7,500 to Rs 10,000

The Civic costs roughly Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,500 more per day than a Corolla, so pay it only when the impression matters.

What you get

You get more cabin space, a steadier highway ride and a more executive look than a compact sedan. Rehan Rent A Car places the Honda Civic in its executive range, alongside its Prado, Land Cruiser and Fortuner.

Who it suits

Corporate clients who need an executive car every week are the core renters. Rehan has built repeat corporate relationships on a standing arrangement, so you do not renegotiate the rate for each booking.

Individuals use this tier for weddings they attend rather than host, long intercity drives, and airport transfers where comfort after a flight matters more than saving Rs 2,000.

4. Family cars and vans like the BRV and Hiace

Family-size vehicles cost Rs 6,000 to Rs 13,000 per day. Where you land in Pakistan car rental rates depends on whether you need seven seats or a full van.

Typical daily rate

The Honda BRV is listed from Rs 6,000 to Rs 8,500, depending on operator and city. The Suzuki Every, a seven-seater, is Rs 6,000, the Grand Cabin with 14 seats is Rs 8,000, and the Hiace van is Rs 13,000.

• Honda BRV: Rs 6,000 to Rs 8,500
• Suzuki Every: about Rs 6,000
• Grand Cabin (14 seats): about Rs 8,000
• Hiace van: about Rs 13,000

A BRV is the cheapest way to carry six people, but it leaves almost no luggage room.

What you get

A BRV carries six comfortably, though it has space for only two or three small bags. Luggage, not headcount, is what pushes families to a van. Rehan Rent A Car’s fleet includes vans for group moves, so you can match the vehicle to your bags.

Who it suits

Families of five or more, visiting relatives, and small groups that want to arrive together do best in this tier. A BRV handles city days and short trips well.

For airport pickups with several suitcases, go for a van. The extra Rs 2,000 to Rs 7,000 per day saves a second car.

5. Pickup-based and mid-size SUVs like the Fortuner and Revo

Mid-size SUVs and pickup-based vehicles cost Rs 12,000 to Rs 16,000 per day with a driver. This tier of Pakistan car rental rates buys ground clearance and presence.

Typical daily rate

The Toyota Revo is listed at Rs 12,000 to Rs 14,000 and the Kia Sportage at Rs 13,000. The Toyota Fortuner runs Rs 15,000 to Rs 16,000, and a Haval SUV is also Rs 16,000.

• Toyota Revo: Rs 12,000 to Rs 14,000
• Kia Sportage: about Rs 13,000
• Toyota Fortuner: Rs 15,000 to Rs 16,000
• Haval SUV: about Rs 16,000

A Fortuner costs nearly three times a Corolla, so book it for the road or the passengers that need it.

What you get

You get higher seating, better clearance and a sturdier body. That helps on broken roads and in standing water. Rehan Rent A Car lists the Fortuner and Toyota Hilux Revo in its fleet, with the Revo also serving as the base for its armored vehicles.

Who it suits

Travelers heading out of the city, or families with a lot of luggage, get the most from an SUV. Executives who want a more commanding arrival than a sedan also choose it.

For city-only days on good roads, a Civic gives similar comfort at about half the price.

6. Luxury SUVs and sedans like the Prado and Land Cruiser

Luxury vehicles cost Rs 17,000 to Rs 40,000 per day with a driver. At this end of Pakistan car rental rates, the model name moves the price more than the distance.

Typical daily rate

The Toyota Prado is listed at Rs 17,000 to Rs 18,000 per day. The Land Cruiser V8 runs Rs 28,000 to Rs 30,000, and an Audi sedan sits at Rs 39,000 to Rs 40,000.

• Toyota Prado: Rs 17,000 to Rs 18,000
• Toyota Land Cruiser: Rs 28,000 to Rs 30,000
• Audi A5 or A6: Rs 39,000 to Rs 40,000

A Land Cruiser costs about as much as five Corolla days, so reserve it for events and long-distance comfort.

What you get

You get the newest models, leather interiors and a driver in uniform. Some operators take 50 percent advance on luxury bookings, so confirm the payment terms. Rehan Rent A Car lists the Prado and Land Cruiser in its luxury and executive range.

Who it suits

Wedding hosts use the Prado or Land Cruiser for the family’s arrival, and Rehan offers wedding packages with a bridal car and a coaster for guests. Executives and visiting delegations pick this tier for airport arrivals and meetings.

For a long-distance trip with elderly passengers, the ride quality can justify the price on its own.

7. Coasters and group transport

Coasters cost Rs 15,000 to Rs 24,000 per day with a driver. For groups, they are the lowest price per head in Pakistan car rental rates.

Typical daily rate

A 29-seat coaster is listed at Rs 15,000 and another operator lists a coaster at Rs 24,000. The Grand Cabin, a 14-seater, is Rs 8,000. Longer trips use package pricing, as in the table earlier.

• Grand Cabin (14 seats): about Rs 8,000
• Coaster: Rs 15,000 to Rs 24,000

At roughly Rs 520 per seat, a 29-seat coaster costs under half of what a Corolla costs per seat.

What you get

Seat counts vary widely. Listings show 13, 22 and 45 seats at one operator and 29 at another. Always confirm the exact number of seats and whether air conditioning and luggage space are included. Rehan Rent A Car runs 25-seater coasters for group transport.

Who it suits

Wedding guests, corporate staff pick-up, school trips and family tours north all fit this tier. One vehicle also keeps a group together, so nobody gets lost in traffic.

For fewer than twelve people, compare a Grand Cabin or two cars before you commit.

8. Armored vehicles with escort

Armored rentals sit outside standard Pakistan car rental rates, because the price depends on the vehicle, convoy size and duration. You get a quote, not a posted daily figure.

Typical daily rate

Rehan Rent A Car prices armored hire per booking. The quote depends on four things, and you should expect to discuss each.

• Number of vehicles in the convoy
• Days and daily hours
• Escort vehicle pairing
• Route and any travel outside the city

Treat any armored rate you cannot get in writing, with documentation of the protection rating, as unverified.

What you get

Rehan’s armored vehicles are B6+ rated Toyota Hilux Revo units, driven by trained security drivers. Escort vehicle pairing is available for convoy movement. Ask what threats the rating covers and check the bulletproof car before you book.

Few providers in Karachi genuinely hold armored vehicles rather than just advertising the term. A physical office is a useful test.

Who it suits

Diplomats, international visitors and security-conscious corporate clients are the main users. Companies that need repeat movements can arrange the same setup each time.

For ordinary business travel, a chauffeur-driven Fortuner or Prado is a better use of budget.

How rental rates differ across Pakistani cities

City differences in Pakistan car rental rates are modest for sedans and larger for premium models. Published lists put Islamabad above Lahore, and Karachi depends on the service you add.

Karachi rates and delivery areas

In Karachi, the question is less "what is the city rate" than "what does the quote include". Delivery to your area is the first thing to confirm. Rehan Rent A Car covers DHA, Clifton, Bahria Town, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, PECHS, Saddar, North Nazimabad, Korangi, Malir and the airport.

Airport pickup at Jinnah International comes with flight tracking, so a delayed flight does not leave you without a driver. The Liaquatabad Town office is open seven days a week if you prefer to book in person.

Lahore and Islamabad benchmarks

The table compares daily rates from published lists for the two cities. These come from individual operators, so read them as direction, not as a fixed price.

Islamabad runs Rs 500 to Rs 2,500 above Lahore on these cars.

Rates move by a few hundred rupees between cities for sedans, but by thousands for premium models.

Intercity drop rates from Lahore

One-way drop pricing shows how distance changes the bill. These are published Lahore drop rates for a Corolla or Yaris and for a Civic.

Ask whether a drop includes the driver’s return and whether tolls are extra.

How to get the best car rental rates in Pakistan

The best car rental rates come from matching the vehicle to the trip, booking in cheaper months, and comparing the total package rather than the daily number.

Time your booking

Price-comparison data for small self-drive cars shows June at about Rs 9,789 a day on average and November at about Rs 15,624, with January the next cheapest at Rs 10,103. Expect tighter availability around Eid and wedding season, so reserve early.

Compare like with like

Check each point on this list for every quote, and write the answers beside the price.

• Same vehicle class and model year
• With driver or self-drive
• Duty hours or kilometer limit
• Fuel policy
• Tolls, parking and driver meals
• Advance payment and cancellation terms

Booking platforms list compact self-drive cars from about Rs 9,700 a day in Islamabad and Karachi and Rs 10,200 in Lahore, roughly double local chauffeur-driven sedan rates. Their lowest weekly rates of about Rs 68,000 to Rs 82,000 are close to seven times the daily rate. A local seven-day Corolla package with a driver is Rs 38,000. These are different services, but the gap shows why totals matter.

Compare the total for your exact dates, hours and fuel plan, not the headline daily rate.

Ask for weekly or monthly pricing

Weekly and monthly bookings are where the real savings sit. Ask for the per-day rate at your duration, not the daily rate with a vague promise of a discount.

Choose an operator you can verify. Rehan Rent A Car is FBR-registered, has a physical office, and the owner is directly involved in customer service. There are no middlemen or hidden fees.

Choosing the right rate for your trip

Start with the vehicle, not the price. A Corolla or Yaris at Rs 5,000 to Rs 6,500 covers most city trips, a BRV or van fits families, a Fortuner or Prado suits executives and out-of-city roads, and a coaster is cheapest per head for groups. Armored vehicles are quoted per booking.

Then fix the structure. A weekend is a short package, a week costs about a quarter less per day, and monthly plans go lower still. Fuel, tolls, duty hours and advance payment decide whether two quotes are actually comparable.

If you are in Karachi and want a written quote for a specific date, vehicle and duration, ask Rehan Rent A Car for a written quote and compare it against the rates above.
