M3 then M4, and why it is faster than it looks
Source. Motorway corridor lengths as published for the M3 and M4. Toll figures from the National Highway Authority revision of July 2026 as reported by Pakistani motoring and news outlets. Both tolls are inside our fare and never added at the end.
What this run is usually for
Business in the south
A single day return for a meeting works. Seven hours of driving is a lot but the road is undemanding, and an executive who arrives having worked in the back seat is in better shape than one who has driven.
The shrines
Multan is one of the great pilgrimage cities of Punjab. Bahauddin Zakariya, Shah Rukn-e-Alam and the old city are close together, which makes a driver who knows where to park more useful than a map.
Onward to Bahawalpur, Sukkur and beyond
Once you are on the M4 and M5 the whole south is straightforward motorway. Tell us the full itinerary rather than the first leg and we will quote the trip, including the driver allowance for each night away.
Which vehicle
A sedan is right for this road. The fuel saving over 660 kilometres of return journey is real, and since fuel is inside the fare here, the saving shows up in the fare rather than at the pump. Group travel takes the Hiace or the Coaster. Details on which car to book.
Questions
Asked before booking
How much is a car from Lahore to Multan?
PKR 16,000 one way and PKR 28,000 return with a driver, fuel and the motorway tolls already inside the fare.
How long does Lahore to Multan take?
About three and a half hours for roughly 330 kilometres, motorway the whole way. It is quicker than Islamabad despite being a similar distance, because there is no Salt Range climb.
Which motorways does it use?
The M3 from Lahore to Abdul Hakeem, then the M4 into Multan. The National Highway Authority car toll is PKR 1,000 on the M3 and PKR 1,350 on the M4, both effective 10 July 2026, and both are inside our fare.
Can I do Multan and back in a day?
Seven hours of driving plus whatever you are there for. It is a long but reasonable day for a single meeting, and we quote it as the return fare. For anything more, stay the night and add the PKR 2,000 driver allowance.
Do you go on to Bahawalpur, Sukkur or Karachi?
Yes. The M5 continues south from Multan to Sukkur. Karachi is about 1,220 kilometres and is quoted in the table on this page. Bahawalpur and anything else in the south is quoted the same way, as a fixed fare.
