From PKR 4,000 a dayNot every day needs a big car. A NADRA visit in the morning, a doctor appointment in G-8, a student heading to the airport, a relative arriving at Faizabad. For jobs like these, one small car with a driver for the whole day usually makes more sense than a new taxi for every leg. That is what a budget rent a car Islamabad booking gives you.
Our office is in PWD Society near the Islamabad Expressway. We have served Islamabad and Rawalpindi for more than 12 years. Send your date, pickup point and plan on WhatsApp, or call, and we send you the price.
Our Budget Cars for Rent in Islamabad
Two small cars make up our budget range. Both come with a driver. Both are easy to park outside a hospital, a market or a government office.
Need more room? The Honda City, Toyota Yaris and Corolla start from PKR 5,000 a day. See all of them on our standard cars page. For a bigger group, look at the Hiace Grand Cabin.
Budget Car Rental Islamabad Price: What You Pay for a Day
If you were looking for rent a car Islamabad rates, here is the plain answer for our budget cars. The Alto and the Wagon R both start at PKR 4,000 a day with the driver included. What changes the final figure is how you handle fuel.
Option 1: Fixed price. You pay one amount for the day. Fuel, toll tax and parking are on us.
Option 2: Pay as you go. The rate covers the car and the driver only. You fill the tank and pay toll tax and parking on the way.
A normal city day covers around 150 to 200 km. That is plenty for a hospital, office, school and market run. On a short day with few stops, pay as you go often costs less. A long day is easier with a fixed price. You get the full price on WhatsApp before you book.
Are there hidden charges? No. We send the full rate before you confirm, and nothing is added after the booking. Insurance is standard on every car we send.
Looking for a cheap car in Rawalpindi? The same office sends the Alto and Wagon R to Saddar, Committee Chowk, Satellite Town, Westridge and Bahria Town. Ask on WhatsApp for the rate from your pickup point.
Rent a Car Islamabad Rates: How the Day Is Counted
We book by the day, not by the hour. Even a job of 4 to 6 hours counts as one day. A budget car works best when you pack several stops into the same day.
| Booking | Hours | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Day booking | 9 AM to 9 PM | Errands, hospital visits, office work |
| Evening booking | 5 PM to 12 or 1 AM | Dinners, late meetings, night flights |
If you keep the car past those hours, we add a night charge of half the day rate. There is no hourly overtime, so you can work out the bill before you start.
Best Budget Car Rental Islamabad: Which Car to Pick?
The best budget car depends on how many people are riding and how much luggage they carry.
- Suzuki Alto. The lowest price. Best for one to three people with light bags.
- Suzuki Wagon R. Same starting rate, with more headroom and boot space. A better pick for a family of three or four on a market run.
- Honda City, Toyota Yaris or Corolla. From PKR 5,000 a day. Choose one of these for a long day, an airport run or four adults.
- Changan Karvaan. From PKR 6,000 a day. It seats 7 to 8 people, so one Karvaan can cost less than two small cars.
Three people or fewer with light luggage can take an Alto. For more people, one bigger car costs less than two small ones.
Is a Budget Car with Driver Cheaper Than Careem or Uber?
For one short trip, an app ride can cost less. For a full day with several stops, a car booked by the day often works out better, because the car and driver wait for you at each stop.
Think of a day that starts at the passport office, moves to lunch at Jinnah Super in F-7, and ends with a visit to PIMS. With an app you book three rides and wait for each one. With our budget car, one driver stays with you from morning to evening and you pay the day rate once. Send your stops on WhatsApp and compare the two figures.
Monthly Budget Car Rental in Islamabad
Some customers need a car every day. A teacher on a fixed school route, an office that moves staff between Blue Area and the I-9 industrial area, a family that needs a driver for hospital visits. For these, we offer a car and driver by the month at a lower daily cost. The exact price depends on the car and the hours each day. Tell us your timings on WhatsApp and we quote the month. See our monthly car rental page for more.
Who Drives Your Car?
Every driver goes through police verification and a CNIC check before he drives for us. Most are our own staff. The rest are the regular drivers of car owners we work with.
- His CNIC is checked and kept on file.
- He goes through police verification.
- He has at least 5 years of driving experience.
- A handful of our drivers speak English. Tell us when you book so we can line one up.
Police verification is a normal check in Pakistan. Islamabad Police explains how its police character certificate works on its official site, including the CNIC it asks for.
If a car breaks down inside the city, we replace it within the hour at no cost. Further away, we either repair it on the spot or send a second car, depending on where you are.
Where a Budget Car Helps in Islamabad and Rawalpindi
A small car suits days with many short stops. These are the trips customers book most.
- Hospitals and clinics. PIMS, Shifa International in H-8, Maroof in F-10 and Kulsum International. The driver waits while you are inside.
- Offices and official work. NADRA, the passport office, embassies in the Diplomatic Enclave and offices in Blue Area.
- Universities. Students heading to NUST in H-12, COMSATS on Park Road, Bahria University in E-8 or the International Islamic University in H-10.
- Markets and malls. Centaurus Mall, Safa Gold Mall, Jinnah Super in F-7 and Raja Bazaar in Rawalpindi.
- Day outings. Faisal Mosque, Daman e Koh, Lake View Park and Rawal Lake for a small family.
- Airport and bus stops. Islamabad International Airport, Faizabad and Pir Wadhai.
The airport sits about 25 km from both Zero Point in Islamabad and Saddar in Rawalpindi, according to Wikipedia. Plan extra time for the Expressway at rush hour. Our airport transfers page explains how flight pickups work.
Cheap Car Rental Islamabad: Keep the Bill Low
People who search for cheap car rental Islamabad usually want one thing, a final bill with no surprises. A few habits help.
- Plan all your stops for one day. The rate is per day, not per stop.
- Pick the fuel option that fits the day. Pay as you go can cost less on a short city day. A fixed price is easier on a long one.
- Match the car to the group. For more than three people, one bigger car beats two small ones.
- Avoid the night charge. Book the evening slot only if you need it, because going past duty hours adds half the day rate.
A budget car is built for city days and motorway runs. For Lahore, Peshawar or Multan, see our intercity car rental page. For Murree in winter or the northern areas, we suggest a 4×4. See Murree with driver.

What is the best budget car in Pakistan?
It depends on who rides. We serve Islamabad and Rawalpindi. There, the Wagon R suits a family of three or four, and the Alto suits one to three people. For more people or a long day, the Honda City or Corolla from PKR 5,000 fits better.
Can I rent a car in Islamabad without a driver?
No. Every car goes out with our own driver and we do not offer self drive. That is why we do not ask for a licence or a security deposit. A copy of your CNIC, NICOP or passport is all we need.
Is fuel included in the price?
It can be. With the fixed price option, fuel, toll tax and parking are included. With pay as you go, the rate covers the car and driver, and you pay for fuel, toll tax and parking along the way.
Can I take a budget car to Lahore or Murree?
Yes for motorway trips such as Lahore, Peshawar or Multan, and the price depends on the route. For Murree in winter or the northern areas we suggest a 4×4, because snow and steep roads are hard on a small car.
