Rent a Car DHA Lahore: Rates, Cars and Booking
Sher Brothers rents cars with a driver across every DHA phase, from PKR 5,500 a day for a Toyota Corolla. The car comes to your gate rather than you collecting it, there is no kilometre limit inside Lahore, and the airport is about 14 minutes away from most of DHA.
DHA is the address we are sent to most often in Lahore, and it is spread out enough that the phase matters. Tell us the phase and the block, and the nearest free car is sent from the right side of the city. The rates below are the Lahore fleet rates published on our rent a car in Lahore page.
What a Car Costs in DHA
Each rate below buys the car and its driver for a 12-hour day. The phase you are in changes how quickly the car arrives, not what it costs.
| Car | Seats | Per day in Lahore | Booked in DHA for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | PKR 5,500 | Office runs and the daily airport drop | |
| 5 | PKR 8,000 | Client pickups and formal use | |
| 7 | PKR 8,000 | Families needing a third row | |
| 5 | PKR 12,000 | Longer days and higher seating | |
| 7 | PKR 16,000 | Guest collection and protocol | |
| 7 | PKR 18,000 | Weddings and visiting guests | |
| 7 | PKR 25,000 | The car booked for the couple | |
| 13 | PKR 13,000 | Moving a guest party between venues | |
| 5 | PKR 30,000 | Corporate and wedding arrivals |
The cheapest car we run is the Suzuki Wagon R at PKR 4,000 a day, and the full fleet with outstation rates sits on the Lahore pillar. Outstation travel is priced per trip from that table.
What Is Included, and What You Pay on Top
One rental day buys 12 hours of driver duty, counted on a single date. Anything charged beyond that is published here rather than appearing at settlement.
In the rate
- The car and its driver for 12 hours on one date
- Delivery to your gate anywhere in DHA
- Unlimited kilometres inside Lahore
- The driver’s meals, which are our cost and not yours
On top
- Fuel, at what the car actually uses
- Motorway, Ring Road and city tolls
- Parking and entry tickets
- Overtime past 12 hours, from PKR 500 an hour depending on the car
- Applicable taxes
A 25% advance confirms the booking and the balance is settled when the rental ends. The complete list, including the per-car overtime schedule, is on our rental charges and booking information page.
Is There a Kilometre Limit in DHA?
No. A city rental carries no distance charge at all. Drive Phase 1 to Phase 8, out to the airport and back again, for as long as the 12 hours last.
This is worth checking against any quote you compare. Booking sites and international brands tend to advertise a low daily rate that quietly carries a distance cap, often 200 kilometres, after which every extra kilometre is billed. In DHA that cap arrives sooner than it sounds, because the phases are spread out and a school run, a meeting across the canal and an airport collection is an ordinary weekday.
Outstation travel works differently and is priced per trip, so the distance is settled before you leave rather than counted afterwards.
How Far DHA Is From Lahore Airport
Most of DHA is about 14 minutes from Allama Iqbal International. Phase 9 is the exception, because it leaves on the Ring Road rather than through Ghazi Road.
| From | To the airport | Usual drive |
|---|---|---|
DHA Phase 1 | 6.6 km | About 14 minutes via Ghazi Road |
DHA Phase 8 | 7.8 km | About 14 minutes via Broadway Main Boulevard |
DHA Phase 9 Prism | 14.9 km | About 23 minutes via the Lahore Ring Road |
Those times assume light traffic. Between 8am and 10am, and again after 5pm, add to them. If you have a fixed check-in, book the car for earlier than the arithmetic suggests.
For a flight rather than a full day of use, a one-way transfer is priced per trip and usually costs less than a rental day. Those fares are on our Lahore airport transfers page.
How Fast a Car Reaches You in DHA
Once your booking is confirmed, a car is on its way within 60 minutes anywhere in Lahore for our regular cars. Bigger and luxury models usually want a day’s notice.
It works because the cars are not parked together in one yard. A driver who lives near Phase 5 keeps his car there overnight, so a DHA booking is usually filled from inside DHA rather than by a car crossing the canal to reach you. If you find yourself needing a car the same day, that is normal here and handled the same way.
Which DHA Phases and Markets We Cover
All of them, from Phase 1 through Phase 9, plus the EME sector and the DHA extensions.
In practice the addresses we are sent to most are Phase 6 Main Boulevard and the Raya side, the Y-Block and H-Block markets, and Phase 8 Broadway Commercial. Hotel and guest-house pickups around the commercial blocks are routine.
We need the phase, the block and the house number together. In DHA that is the address that actually works, because street numbers repeat across blocks and a driver holding only a street name will call you from the wrong one. Neighbouring areas have their own pages too: Lahore Cantt, Gulberg and Model Town.
Weddings and Moving Guests in DHA
A DHA wedding usually needs two things at once: a car for the couple, and a way to move everybody else.
The Toyota Prado and the Land Cruiser cover the first. The Hiace Grand Cabin seats 13 and moves a whole side of a family between house, hotel and marquee, which is cheaper and calmer than four separate sedans arriving at different times.
Book the date, not just the day. A booking that starts in the evening and ends after midnight touches two calendar dates and bills as two rental days, so tell us the running time when you book and it is priced correctly from the start. Where the arrival itself is the point, wedding car packages are quoted per event instead of per day.
How to Book a Car in DHA
Tell us the date, the phase and how many people are travelling.
You get the day rate, what the extras are likely to come to, and a delivery window, before anything is booked.
Overseas visitors use a passport. The 12-hour clock starts when the driver reaches your gate.
You pay the day rate plus whatever fuel and tolls the day actually used. Each line is shown separately on a digital invoice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to rent a car in DHA Lahore?
From PKR 5,500 a day for a Toyota Corolla GLi with a driver, up to PKR 30,000 for an Audi A6. Most DHA bookings land between PKR 5,500 and PKR 18,000. Fuel, tolls and parking are charged separately in every case.
Is there a kilometre limit on a DHA rental?
No. A city rental inside Lahore carries no distance charge at all, however far you drive within the 12 hours. Only outstation travel is priced per trip, using the outstation rate, so the distance is agreed before you leave.
Which is the cheapest car you rent in DHA?
The Suzuki Wagon R at PKR 4,000 a day, with the Suzuki Cultus next at PKR 4,500. Both figures already contain the driver, which is worth weighing against a lower headline elsewhere that adds a driver fee before the car has moved.
How far is DHA from Lahore airport?
About 6.6 km from Phase 1 and 7.8 km from Phase 8, roughly 14 minutes either way in light traffic. Phase 9 Prism is further at 14.9 km, about 23 minutes on the Ring Road. Morning and evening peaks run longer.
How quickly can a car reach my house in DHA?
Within 60 minutes of a confirmed booking for our regular cars, provided a suitable one is free. Larger and luxury models usually want a day’s notice, and wedding season tightens availability on the bigger vehicles.
Do you cover all DHA phases?
Yes, Phase 1 through Phase 9, the EME sector and the DHA extensions. Give the phase, the block and the house number when you book, because street numbers repeat across blocks and the phase decides which car is nearest.
Can I rent a car in DHA without a driver?
Self drive is offered on a limited set of cars, charged by the week instead of the day, and held against a refundable cheque. In DHA almost everyone books with a driver.
What documents do I need to rent a car in DHA?
A CNIC is enough for a booking with a driver. Overseas Pakistanis and foreign visitors use a passport instead. Self drive additionally needs a valid driving licence and the refundable security cheque.
Do you provide wedding cars in DHA?
Yes. The Prado, Land Cruiser and Audi A6 are the usual choices for the couple, and the Grand Cabin or Coaster moves the guests. A booking running past midnight counts as two rental days, so tell us the timing when you book.
