Airport pickup in Pakistan costs roughly PKR 4,500–8,000 for a sedan in 2026 — the standard daily rate plus a PKR 500–2,000 airport surcharge — at Lahore (LHE), Karachi (KHI), and Islamabad (ISB). Meet-and-greet at arrivals is standard; drivers track your flight number.

What does pickup cost at each airport?

Islamabad International (ISB)PKR 5,000–8,000PKR 800–2,000

How does meet-and-greet actually work?

When booking on WhatsApp, send your flight number, terminal, and passenger count. The driver tracks the flight, parks in the arrivals lane, and messages you when you land — most hold a name card at the exit. Sixty minutes of free waiting after landing is standard.

How do I book for late-night or early-morning flights?

Established vendors at all three airports run 24/7. Book 12–24 hours ahead for 2–6 AM pickups, and confirm the driver's name, photo, and plate number the evening before. For groups, Hiace and Coaster pickups are available at roughly double the sedan rate.

What if my flight is delayed or diverted?

Delays are absorbed automatically — the driver sees the same flight status you do. Waiting beyond 60–90 minutes after landing may add PKR 200–500/hour. If the flight diverts to another city, message the vendor immediately; most will re-quote or cancel without penalty if the car hasn't left their lot.
