Eight seat MPV
Rent a Suzuki APV in Lahore with a Driver
Eight seats and a boot, for a thousand rupees less than a seven seat SUV. The unglamorous right answer for a family with bags.
A Suzuki APV with a driver costs PKR 7,000 for a 12 hour day in Lahore. Overtime is PKR 500 an hour, fuel is added at cost, there is no kilometre limit and no deposit. It seats eight and still has luggage space behind the last row, which is the one thing a seven seat SUV cannot claim.

What you are actually getting
The vehicle people should book more often
The most common expensive mistake in this market is a family of six booking a seven seat SUV, discovering the third row eats the boot, and paying for a second car. The APV solves that for PKR 7,000.
What it is right for
- An airport run for a whole family. Eight people and their bags, one fixed fare rather than two cars.
- A day of family visits around Lahore. Sliding doors and eight seats.
- Nankana Sahib or Faisalabad for a group. Both short enough that comfort is not the deciding factor.
- Anyone who would otherwise book two sedans. PKR 7,000 against PKR 11,000, with one driver instead of two.
What it is wrong for
- Long motorway days. For Islamabad and beyond, the BR-V or the Hiace are more comfortable.
- Anything formal. It is a practical vehicle and it looks like one.
- The northern areas. See the northern areas page.
APV or BR-V
The APV has one more seat, more luggage room and costs PKR 1,000 less. The BR-V is more comfortable, automatic, and better on the motorway. For an airport run with bags, take the APV. For a long drive, take the BR-V. Thirteen people rather than eight means the Hiace Grand Cabin.
What applies to this booking
| Charge | Our position | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel | Billed separately | Added at cost on hire inside Lahore, against the fuel actually used. Already inside the out-of-city route fares and the airport fares below. |
| Kilometre limit | None inside Lahore | No cap on any vehicle and no charge per kilometre. You are buying the fuel, so metering the distance as well would bill you twice for the same journey. What bounds the day is the 12 hour duty period, not an odometer. |
| Tolls and parking | Billed separately | Parking and the Lahore Ring Road toll are added at cost. Motorway tolls on out-of-city routes are already in the route fare. |
| Driver allowance in Lahore | PKR 500 per day | One meal for the driver on a full day inside the city, or PKR 500 in place of it. Quoted with the booking rather than asked for on the day. |
| Driver allowance out of city | PKR 2,000 per night | Food and overnight stay when a trip keeps the driver away from Lahore overnight. Quoted before you leave, never settled at the end. |
| Tax | Inside the quoted rate | Any tax that applies is already in the figure you are quoted. Nothing is added on top afterwards. |
| Security deposit | None | A copy of your CNIC, or a passport or NICOP copy if you are visiting. No cash and no original documents are held, because our driver stays with the vehicle. |
| Airport waiting | 60 minutes free, then PKR 500 per hour | Free waiting from the moment your flight lands. We watch the flight number, so a delay is our problem before it is yours. |
| Cancellation | Free above 24 hours | Cancel more than 24 hours before pickup at no charge. Inside 24 hours, half of the first day is retained. One policy, stated once. |
| Payment | On completion | Nothing is taken to hold a booking. You settle at the end of the hire, against the figures agreed at the start. |
| Delivery in Lahore | Free | The car comes to your address anywhere in the city at the hour agreed. Delivery is never a separate line. |
Questions
Asked before booking
How much is a Suzuki APV per day in Lahore?
PKR 7,000 for a 12 hour duty day with a driver, delivered free anywhere in the city.
How many people does the APV really seat?
Eight, and unlike most seven seaters it keeps usable boot space with the last row up. For a family of six or seven with luggage it is the most practical vehicle under PKR 13,000.
APV or BR-V?
The APV has one more seat, more luggage room and costs PKR 1,000 less. The BR-V is more comfortable and better on the motorway. For an airport run with bags, APV. For a long drive, BR-V.
Is the APV good for an airport run?
It is the reason people book it. Eight people and eight bags in one vehicle rather than two cars, and airport transfers are a fixed fare rather than a day rate.
Is the APV automatic?
Ours is manual. If the group needs an automatic, the BR-V at PKR 8,000 is the next step up.
