Landing at Allama Iqbal International Airport (LHE) after a long flight is not the moment to negotiate a ride. If you are visiting family, flying in for a wedding or coming home for a few weeks, here is how to arrange a pickup you don’t have to think about.
Book before you fly
You can book from abroad on WhatsApp with any number: a UK, Gulf, US or Canadian number works the same. Use the airport form or contact us and send:
- your flight number and date;
- how many people are travelling, and how many large suitcases;
- where you are going in Lahore, or beyond.
We confirm the car, the driver’s name and the price in writing before you fly.
Flight tracking
Send the flight number and we track it. If your flight lands early or two hours late, the pickup moves with it, and you don’t need to message from the arrivals hall.
Choose the car by your luggage
Suitcases decide the car more often than people do. Typical capacity:
| Car | Passengers | Large bags | From (PKR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Honda City, Toyota Yaris | 4 | 2 | 5,500 |
| Toyota Corolla Altis X | 4 | 2 | 7,500 |
| Honda BR-V | 6 | 4 | 8,000 |
| Toyota Fortuner | 6 | 4 | 18,000 |
| Toyota Hiace | 12 | 10 | 15,000 |
A family of five coming home for a wedding, with two suitcases each, needs a Hiace or two cars, not a sedan.
What it costs
An airport pickup or drop-off is charged as a full day’s rent: a 12-hour day from pickup. Use the rest of the day: go straight on to family in Gujranwala, stop for shopping, or keep the car for errands. Fuel is full to full, and parking is extra. See every rate in our price guide.
If you need a car for your whole stay, ask about the monthly rate. It is a separate booking and much cheaper than daily rates for a long visit.
Going on from Lahore
Many visitors land in Lahore and head straight to Islamabad, or the reverse. A one-way drop-off costs one day’s rate plus fuel for the car’s return. For a wedding with family flying in, read planning wedding cars.
Flying out
For your departure, airlines generally ask you to be at the airport about three hours before an international flight; check your ticket. Tell us your flight time and we work back from it, with time for Lahore traffic.
Driving yourself?
Self-drive needs a valid CNIC or passport and a driving licence. If your licence is from abroad, bring an International Driving Permit issued in the same country as your licence, and check the current rules before you travel. Most visitors find a driver easier for the first trip from the airport. The full list of rules is in our rental policy.
Book the pickup
Choose Airport arrival in the trip planner, or message us from abroad. You land, the car is already waiting.
