Lahore to Murree

Rent a Car from Lahore to Murree with a Driver

A motorway run, then a mountain road. The second part is why the vehicle and the driver both matter more than the fare.

PKR 25,000 one way and PKR 45,000 return with a driver, fuel and motorway tolls included. The route is about 335 kilometres by the M2 to Islamabad and then the Murree Expressway, and it takes about five hours in good conditions. In snow it takes longer and needs a different vehicle, which we will tell you about before you book rather than after.

A trip based in Murree for several days is quoted as the journey plus the days you are there, rather than as a fresh route fare every time the car moves.

The road

Two very different halves

Distance
About 335 km, routed at 333 kilometres
Time
About 5 hours realistically. Routing engines say 4 hours 10, which assumes free running and no hill traffic
The route
M2 to Islamabad, then the Murree Expressway
The first 375 kilometres
Motorway. Easy, fast, dual carriageway
The last stretch
Sustained climb. This is the part that decides how long the day really is
In snow
Longer, sometimes much longer, and occasionally closed. Ask us the day before rather than the week before

A note on drive times. Routing engines calculate mountain sections at free flowing speeds. For Murree in season, and for anything beyond it, that understates the real journey considerably. We quote the time we think it will actually take, which is sometimes longer than the number you will find elsewhere.

Winter

What changes when there is snow

  • The vehicle changes. A Fortuner, Prado or Land Cruiser rather than a sedan. Clearance and traction, not comfort.
  • The driver changes. Not every driver should be on a hill road in snow, and we assign accordingly rather than sending whoever is free.
  • The timing changes. Leaving Lahore at six rather than nine is the difference between arriving in daylight and arriving in the dark on ice.
  • The road can close. It is a hill station with a single main approach and a great many visitors. We will tell you what we know the day before.
  • We will say no. If the conditions and your plan do not fit, we will tell you, including when that costs us the booking. That is worth more to you than a car that sets off anyway.

Nathia Gali and beyond

Nathia Gali, Ayubia and the Galiyat are past Murree on smaller roads. They are a fine day from a Murree base and a long day from Lahore. Tell us the whole plan when you book and we will price the trip rather than the leg.

Questions

Asked and answered

The questions people actually put to us on this subject, with the figures rather than a promise to discuss them.

How much does a car to Murree cost from Lahore?

PKR 25,000 one way and PKR 45,000 return with a driver, fuel and tolls inside the fare. A multi day trip based in Murree is quoted as the journey plus the days there.

How long does Lahore to Murree take?

About five hours in good conditions, for roughly 335 kilometres. Routed sources give four hours and ten minutes for the driving alone, which assumes free running and no hill traffic. Add substantially in peak season and in snow.

Do I need a 4x4 for Murree?

Not in normal conditions. A sedan is fine on the Expressway and in the town. In snow, or for Nathia Gali and the smaller roads beyond, take a Fortuner or a Prado and tell us it is winter so the vehicle and the driver are chosen for it.

Can it be done as a day trip?

Ten hours of driving for a few hours in the hills. We will quote it, and we will also tell you it is a poor day. An overnight, with the PKR 2,000 driver allowance, is a much better trip.

Is parking a problem in Murree?

In season, yes, severely. A driver who drops you on the Mall and parks elsewhere is worth considerably more than the fare difference between hiring a car and driving yourself.

How it works

Booking a car in Lahore, start to finish

Four steps, and the price is settled at step two rather than at the kerb.

1

Send the dates

Message or call with the dates, the pick-up area and roughly what you need the car for. No account, no form to fill in.

2

We send the whole price

The daily rate, the duty hours, the overtime rate, the fuel rule and anything else that applies, in writing, before you agree to it.

3

The car comes to you

Delivered free to your address anywhere in Lahore, with the driver, at the hour you asked for. We confirm the model year and the registration before dispatch.

4

Pay at the end

Settle when the car goes back, against the figures you were quoted. No security deposit is held, and nothing is added afterwards.
