Insurance and optional extras

Age requirements vary by company (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some companies in Pakistan may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to browse your options.
If the kids are coming with you, find out if you need to add a child car seat to your car hire reservation in Pakistan. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.

Driving in Pakistan may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the left side of the road.
Keep within local speed limits of about 30kph in urban areas and around 110kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.

The Pakistani Rupee (PKR) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay with a debit or credit card where you can, but have some cash ready when electronic payments aren't accepted.
