Daily rates in Islamabad on HireACar start at Rs 5,500; the typical car costs Rs 7,150 a day, and half cost between Rs 6,600 and Rs 8,800. Each owner sets their price, and the price you see already includes HireACar's 10% fee.

Yes. Most cars on HireACar in Islamabad are self-drive, by the hour or by the day. Self-drive rentals require a valid Pakistani driving licence and CNIC. Any deposit is agreed with the owner before pickup; HireACar does not hold deposits today.

Renters need a valid CNIC (Pakistani national ID) and, for self-drive bookings, a valid Pakistani driving licence. Visitors from abroad should contact HireACar before booking.

HireACar lists 8 cars in Islamabad from local owners: 6 sedans, 1 pickup, 1 SUV.

Bookings are paused for now while card and wallet payments are added. Once they reopen: browse cars at hireacar.pk/rent-a-car/islamabad, pick dates and send a free request. The owner confirms it, you pay online, and you collect the car at the agreed pickup location in Islamabad.

HireACar does not hold deposits. If an owner asks for a security deposit, the amount and how it is returned are agreed with the owner before pickup.

Every renter signs up with a verified phone number and gives their CNIC number and a photo of the front of the card. Self-drive also needs a valid Pakistani driving licence. Owners may look at the original card at pickup, but may not keep it or any other original document.

The price shown includes HireACar’s 10% fee. Every booking also has a processing fee & taxes (the cost of the card payment and the tax on it), shown on its own line before you pay. Fuel, tolls, parking and traffic fines during the trip are paid by the renter, and returning late costs extra. Any pickup or return delivery fee is shown before you send the request. Returning late: after 30 minutes of grace on hourly trips (1 hour on daily trips), each started hour is charged to the renter’s card until the car is back: the car’s hourly price plus the processing fee on that hour, with no cap.

Some owners can hand over the car at the airport. Contact HireACar before you book to check which cars can.

Nothing is charged until the host says yes, so a request can be cancelled for free. After that, each car follows the cancelling rule its host chose: the 1-day, 5-day, 14-day or 30-day rule (the 30-day rule unless the host picks another). The number is how many days before pickup the customer can cancel and get all the car rent back; closer to pickup, half or none of the rent comes back, as the car page shows. A booking made 7 or more days before pickup can be cancelled within 24 hours after the host says yes with all the rent back. Hourly bookings can’t be cancelled once the host says yes. If the customer cancels, the HireACar fee and the processing fee & taxes are not refunded. If the host cancels, the customer gets everything back. Refunds go back to the card or account the customer paid with. Full details: hireacar.pk/terms#cancellation

No. To protect both renters and owners, chat with a host opens once the booking is paid and approved. Each car page shows the photos, features and rules, so you can decide before you book.
