Lahore to Islamabad car rental from Welcome Rent A Car: clear prices, clean cars and a quick WhatsApp booking, day or night.
Driving from Lahore to Islamabad
It is roughly 375 km from Lahore to Islamabad and the drive takes 4–4.5 hours, depending on traffic and stops. You travel almost the whole way on the M-2 motorway. The road climbs through the Salt Range near Kallar Kahar, where steep slopes call for a careful, experienced driver.
Our driver collects you anywhere in Lahore and drops you at your address in Islamabad. The fare already covers the car's trip back, fuel and motorway tolls – a Corolla, City or Yaris is around Rs 21,000. Fares follow the market and are confirmed at booking.

Lahore to Islamabad Car Rental – booking notes
For Lahore to Islamabad car rental, tell us the number of passengers, bags and the exact drop address. We send the driver's details the evening before, and he calls when he is on the way. Fares are normal market rates and are confirmed in writing before you travel.
Return trips and longer hire
Need to come back the same day? Ask for a same-day return price – the driver waits while you finish your work or visit. For a few days away, keep the car and driver at the daily rate plus fuel and the driver's night allowance; we help you plan where the driver stays.
