Rent a Car Allama Iqbal Town Lahore: Rates, Blocks and Drive Times
Sher Brothers brings a car and driver to your gate in any of the 22 blocks of Allama Iqbal Town, from PKR 4,000 a day. Our office on Raiwind Road is only 7.8 km away, so this is one of the quickest parts of Lahore for us to reach.
Iqbal Town runs between Multan Road and Wahdat Road, and its blocks carry names rather than letters, which is the one thing a driver needs to get right. This page has the day rates, measured drive times from Karim Block, and the cars families here actually book. The full fleet list sits on our Lahore rent a car page.
How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Car in Allama Iqbal Town?
PKR 4,000 a day for a Suzuki Wagon R, PKR 5,500 for a Toyota Corolla GLi and PKR 7,000 for a Suzuki APV that seats eight, each with its driver for 12 hours. Rates match the rest of Lahore. Leave the city and the second column applies, which is the one a Multan Road run is charged on.
| Car | Seats | In Lahore, per day | Outstation, per day | Booked here for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | PKR 4,000 | PKR 5,500 | Market runs and short trips inside the blocks | |
| 5 | PKR 5,500 | PKR 8,000 | The most booked car here, across all 22 blocks | |
| 7–8 | PKR 7,000 | PKR 10,000 | The room of a van at close to a sedan’s rate | |
| 7 | PKR 8,000 | PKR 10,000 | Seven seats with a smoother ride for a long day | |
| 13 | PKR 13,000 | PKR 16,000 | Extended family travelling together | |
| 7 | PKR 16,000 | PKR 20,000 | Guests to a function, or a run to Multan | |
| 22–28 | PKR 16,000 | PKR 25,000 | Baraat parties and student groups |
The Corolla GLi is the car booked most often here. After it, the APV and the Grand Cabin move more in these blocks than in most areas, because families are larger. Anything not listed here, up to the Land Cruiser and the Audi A6, sits on the pillar table at these same Lahore rates.

Give the Block Name, Not Just the Street
Iqbal Town is the one area in Lahore where the address, not the traffic, decides whether a car arrives on time. The blocks are named, several of the names sound alike over a phone line, and street numbers start again in each block.
The blocks we are sent to most
Karim, Nizam, Umar, Zeenat, Pak, Neelam, Rachna, Kashmir, Nishtar and Hunza come up most in bookings. The rest of the 22 are Asif, Badr, Chenab, College, Gulshan, Huma, Jahanzeb, Khyber, Kamran, Mehran, Muslim, Nargis, Raza, Ravi, Sikander and Sutlej.
The order that works
Block name, then street, then house number. Sent that way, the driver goes straight there. Sent the other way round, he reaches the right street number in the wrong block and has to call you.
The main boulevard and the Wahdat Road edge
The boulevard crosses from Scheme Mor on Multan Road towards Wahdat Road and the university side, so say which end you are near. Along Wahdat Road itself, where the shops are, a market or shop name next to the address saves the driver a lap.
How Far Is Iqbal Town From the Airport, Gulberg and Thokar?
The airport is the long one at 22.9 km and about 35 minutes by Ghazi Road. Everything on this side is close: Thokar Niaz Baig 6.3 km, Emporium Mall in Johar Town 8.2 km, and Liberty Market in Gulberg 10.2 km, all inside twenty minutes off-peak.
| From Karim Block to | Road distance | Saturday midday drive | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
Thokar Niaz Baig | 6.3 km | 17 min | Marghzar Road |
Sher Brothers office, Raiwind Road | 7.8 km | 16 min | Multan Road (N-5) |
Emporium Mall, Johar Town | 8.2 km | 14 min | Canal Road |
Liberty Market, Gulberg | 10.2 km | 15 min | Canal Bank Road |
Lahore Junction Railway Station | 17.3 km | 26 min | Canal Road |
| 22.9 km | 35 min | Ghazi Road |
These came from Google Maps at midday on 12 September 2026. Weekday mornings are slower, especially the airport run and anything crossing the canal, so we set the pickup earlier for a flight and work backwards from the departure time.
Where People Are Picked Up and Dropped Here
Karim Block Market
One of the big garment markets on this side of Lahore, with grocers, pharmacies and eateries along the Wahdat Road edge. The reason people book a car for it is parking: the driver waits and brings the car round when the shopping is done.
Moon Market at Dubai Chowk
Busy from late afternoon, with its own parking plaza. It is easy to name and easy for a driver to find, so it is a common drop and collect point.
Allama Iqbal Open University
The Lahore campus sits in Raza Block. Exam weeks bring families in from other cities, and with them airport and railway station collections.
Recreation Park
Open since 1982, with gardens, boating and rides. Afternoon family bookings run through the cooler months, usually in the APV or the BR-V.
Trips That Start From Iqbal Town
Multan Road runs south-west from the edge of the neighbourhood, so Lahore to Multan is a natural trip from here, and Lahore to Faisalabad is the other regular one for family visits. Both are priced per trip with the fuel and the tolls inside the fare, rather than as a day rental.
Weddings here usually follow one pattern: a good car for the couple, and a Grand Cabin or a Coaster to keep the guests together instead of a line of separate cars. Decorated cars and the rest of the arrangements are on the wedding car rental page, and the seat counts for every group car are on the 7 seater and group vehicle page.
How to Book a Car in Allama Iqbal Town
WhatsApp 0300 5404055 with the block name, street and house number, the date and the start time.
We tell you which cars are available that day and the rate for each.
The advance and a CNIC copy hold the car for your date.

Need one today? A car reaches you within 60 minutes of a confirmed booking, provided a suitable one is free, while larger and luxury models want a day’s notice. Being 7.8 km from our Raiwind Road base helps, and so does the fact that drivers keep their cars at home around the city. Same-day bookings explains what is realistic at short notice.
Iqbal Town Car Rental: Common Questions
Which blocks of Iqbal Town do you deliver to?
All 22, from Karim, Nizam, Umar and Zeenat to Raza, Neelam, Rachna, Kashmir, Nishtar and Hunza. The car reaches your gate wherever you are in the neighbourhood, and the rate is the same in every block.
Why do you ask for the block name first?
Because street numbers repeat from one block to the next. Give a street number alone and the driver can arrive at the right number in the wrong part of Iqbal Town, which is the single most common reason a car turns up late here.
What does a rental car cost per day in Iqbal Town?
A Suzuki Wagon R is PKR 4,000 and a Toyota Corolla GLi PKR 5,500, both with the driver in the price. The Suzuki APV, which seats seven or eight, is PKR 7,000. Fuel, tolls and parking are added at the end of the day.
Which car suits a large family from here?
The Suzuki APV at PKR 7,000 a day carries seven or eight people for about the cost of a sedan, which is why families here pick it over two cars. Above that, the Hiace Grand Cabin seats 13 at PKR 13,000 and the Coaster up to 28.
How long does the airport take from Iqbal Town?
Around 35 minutes for the 22.9 km by Ghazi Road, and longer in the morning peak, because the airport sits on the far side of the city. Send us the flight time rather than a departure time and we set the pickup from it.
Can I book a car for a shopping trip to Karim Block or Moon Market?
Yes, and it is one of the most common bookings here. The driver drops you at the entrance, keeps the car, and comes back when you call, so the parking problem at both markets never becomes yours.
Do you rent cars without a driver in Iqbal Town?
Self drive runs on selected cars only, by the week from PKR 35,000, with the rent paid up front and a refundable security cheque. The terms are on our car rental without driver page. Nearly every booking in these blocks takes the driver.
Do you do monthly cars for the commute?
Yes. A month costs from PKR 100,000, and you keep one car and one driver throughout, with twelve duty hours a day and no distance limit inside Lahore. The figure for each car is listed on the monthly car rental page.
What is the contact number for a car in Allama Iqbal Town?
Phone or WhatsApp 0300 5404055, and 0321 4470441 if the first line is busy. Send the block name, house number, date and time; someone answers at any hour, so tomorrow morning can be arranged tonight.
