Things to know about traffic rules

Local residents do not always follow the traffic regulations carefully, and this often leads to road accidents. When travelling in a rental car in Islamabad you should exercise extreme caution. Do not hesitate to use the horn to alert distracted pedestrians and other drivers and make them aware of your presence on the road. Driving on the streets of the capital is slightly safer than in other cities, as Islamabad is not too densely populated. Please note the main rules of the road.

  1. To drive a rental car, you need an international standard driving licence.
  2. In the city, as well as throughout the country, traffic drives on the left.
  3. Drivers and passengers sitting in the front seat must always wear seat belts.
  1. You must use dipped headlights at night and during the day when visibility is reduced due to the weather.

Islamabad car rental — FAQ

Booking a few weeks in advance is ideal in Islamabad, especially for peak periods like school holidays, Eid, and long weekends, when popular classes sell out quickly. For normal weekdays, reserving 3-7 days ahead usually secures a good rate. Last-minute bookings are possible but often mean higher prices and fewer automatic or SUV options.
The security deposit is normally released by the rental company as soon as the vehicle is checked in and no extra charges apply. Banks in Pakistan and abroad typically take around 7-14 business days to show the refund or unblock the amount. To avoid a frozen limit entirely, look out for no-deposit / no-credit-card deals when searching.
The excess (deductible) is the maximum amount you may pay if the car is damaged or stolen, even when insurance is included. In Islamabad it typically ranges from about PKR 60,000 to PKR 250,000, depending on vehicle class. Extra coverage can reduce this figure or sometimes bring it close to zero in exchange for a higher daily rental cost.
Most Islamabad rental desks still prefer a major credit card in the main driver’s name for blocking the deposit. Some local suppliers may accept a debit card or cash, but conditions are stricter. To avoid card holds altogether, filter offers that specifically advertise no-deposit / no-credit-card deals during your search on Bookingcar.
In Islamabad, a small economy car usually starts around PKR 5,000-7,000 per day, while mid-size sedans and compact SUVs often cost PKR 8,000-12,000 daily. Premium SUVs or vans can be higher, especially in peak months. Prices vary with demand, insurance options, mileage limits, and extras like GPS, child seats, or additional drivers.
Bookingcar compares many suppliers in Islamabad at once, so you can see clear pricing, deposit rules, and mileage conditions before committing. Transparent filters help you find automatic cars, SUVs, or chauffeur options that match your trip. Customer reviews and flexible cancellation on many offers make it easier to choose confidently and avoid unpleasant counter surprises.
Returning the car late usually triggers additional hourly or full-day charges, depending on how far you go beyond the agreed drop-off time. Some companies allow a short grace period, but this is not guaranteed. Always contact the rental operator as soon as you know you will be delayed, as updating your contract can reduce penalties.
In Islamabad, look for official parking areas such as Centaurus Mall Parking, Safa Gold Mall Parking, and covered lots near Blue Area (Jinnah Avenue). These facilities typically issue a ticket at entry and you pay on exit, either hourly or per visit. Many sectors also have designated street-side zones; avoid parking on main boulevards or in unmarked areas.
Most Islamabad rental cars are restricted to use within Pakistan, and cross-border travel to India, Afghanistan, Iran, or China is generally not allowed. If a supplier permits international travel, you must declare it when booking so insurance, documents, and any extra fees are arranged. Always get written approval in your rental agreement before attempting any border crossing.
Typical speed limits in Pakistan (check local signs, as they can vary):
  • Within city areas: about 40–60 km/h
  • On main urban roads and dual carriageways: about 60–80 km/h
  • On intercity highways: about 80–100 km/h
  • On motorways (M1, M2, etc.): usually 100–120 km/h for cars
Always follow posted limits, as enforcement is increasing, especially on motorways.

"We booked a compact car for a weekend in Islamabad and Murree. Staff were polite, documents sorted quickly and the car was economical and tidy. Only wish the navigation option had been clearly explained at the counter, but overall we were very happy."

"We rented a sedan for a friends’ road trip from Islamabad to Nathiagali. Car was in great condition, AC strong and fuel consumption low. Staff allowed us an extra half hour at drop-off without fuss, which really helped with traffic delays."
