Twenty two seat coach
Rent a Toyota Coaster Saloon in Lahore with a Driver
The cheapest way to move a large group in Pakistan, and the vehicle we will talk you out of for the far north.
A Toyota Coaster Saloon with a driver costs PKR 16,000 for a 12 hour day in Lahore. Overtime is PKR 2,000 an hour, fuel is added at cost, there is no kilometre limit and no deposit. It seats twenty two, which is roughly PKR 730 a person for a full day, and it is the standard vehicle for a baraat or a group tour.

Per head, this is the cheapest way to move a large group in Pakistan. Twenty two seats at PKR 16,000 is about PKR 730 a person for a twelve hour day, before fuel.
What you are actually getting
What it is for, and where it cannot go
What it is right for
- A baraat. The guests travel in one vehicle, arrive together and leave together, which solves more problems on a wedding day than any car does.
- Corporate and college groups. A day trip to Nankana Sahib, Faisalabad or Khewra for twenty people at one fare.
- Pilgrimage groups. Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur are both quoted as fixed fares with fuel and tolls inside them.
- Multi day tours, quoted by the day plus the PKR 2,000 a night driver allowance, with the figure written down before you leave.
Where it cannot go
Be careful with the far north
A Coaster is not the right vehicle for Babusar, the higher Karakoram Highway or the Skardu road. Length, weight and turning circle are all against it. For a large group going that far, the honest answer is two Hiace Grand Cabins. We will say so rather than sell you the bigger booking.
What it is wrong for
- Fourteen people. A single Hiace at PKR 13,000 is cheaper and far easier in the city.
- Lahore old city streets. It will not fit and nor will the parking.
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 Toyota Coaster per day in Lahore?
PKR 16,000 for a 12 hour duty day with a driver, delivered free. Overtime is PKR 2,000 an hour. For twenty two seats that is roughly PKR 730 a person before fuel.
How many seats does the Coaster Saloon have?
Twenty two. If your group is thirteen or fewer, the Hiace Grand Cabin at PKR 13,000 is cheaper and easier in the city.
Can a Coaster go to the northern areas?
Not to Babusar, the higher Karakoram Highway or Skardu. Length, weight and turning circle are all against it. For a large group going that far the honest answer is two Hiace Grand Cabins, and we will say so rather than sell you the bigger vehicle.
Is the Coaster good for a baraat?
It is the standard answer for one. Guests travel together, arrive together and leave together. What drives the bill is the length of the shift, which is on the wedding page.
Is there luggage space for a tour?
Yes, underfloor and at the rear, and a roof carrier can be arranged if you tell us at booking rather than on the morning.
