Your Pakistan. Your Journey.
Pakistan has a better motorway network than its reputation suggests, and it is the reason intercity travel by road is often the sensible option rather than the fallback. The M-2 runs 375 km from Lahore to Islamabad in six lanes. The M-4 covers 309 km from Pindi Bhattian to Multan via Faisalabad. The M-5 continues 392 km south to Sukkur. The M-9 links Karachi and Hyderabad in 136 km, and the M-16 Swat Expressway reaches Chakdara from the M-1.
Where the network stops, the character of the journey changes completely. The E-35, also designated M-15, Hazara Motorway hands over to the N-35 Karakoram Highway, and from there north you are on mountain roads where the relevant risks are landslides, seasonal passes and daylight rather than traffic.
Tolls, and the one figure we can fully defend
Motorway tolls vary by road and vehicle category and may change. Review the treatment of tolls in your actual journey price before accepting, and check the current operator or road-authority information if you need the underlying toll rate.
Check whether motorway tolls are included in the journey price or listed separately. Ask for clarification of the route and any excluded charge before accepting the offer.
Why fuel makes every published fare unreliable
Check current fares and timetables directly with the operator for your travel date. Compare the full journey, including transfers to and from terminals, luggage rules and the stated inclusions, rather than treating an older example as today’s price.
Use the journey planner to see the live fare for your exact route and date. Review the displayed inclusions and supplier terms rather than relying on an undated example price.
The alternatives, route by route
Check current fares and timetables directly with the operator for your travel date. Compare the full journey, including transfers to and from terminals, luggage rules and the stated inclusions, rather than treating an older example as today’s price.
Coaches and trains can be useful alternatives when their stations, schedules, luggage rules and booking requirements fit your journey. Check current ticket availability, passenger identification and accepted payment methods with the operator before relying on them.
When comparing an app quote with a prebooked journey, compare the same route, date, vehicle, passenger and luggage needs, tolls, stops and return arrangement. Check the provider’s own current driver, vehicle and confirmation information rather than assuming that the products include the same things.
Long routes are multi-day routes
Islamabad to Skardu is twelve to sixteen hours in good conditions. Islamabad to Hunza is fourteen to twenty. Those are two-day journeys with an overnight stop, and we will quote them that way rather than pretending otherwise.

Which vehicle actually fits
These model examples do not confirm the capacity or availability of a particular vehicle. Give the passenger count and the number and size of bags, and check the approved vehicle variation before confirmation.
- Suzuki WagonR 3 passengers, 2 cases Short city transfers on a budget. The tall boot helps more than the engine does.
- Toyota Yaris or Corolla 3 to 4 passengers, 2 to 3 large cases The workhorse. City work, airport transfers and the motorway run between Lahore and Islamabad.
- Honda BR-V 5 passengers with luggage, or 7 with almost none Family airport transfers on paved routes. The third row eats the boot, so it suits children or short hops rather than seven adults with cases. Not a mountain vehicle.
- Toyota Fortuner 5 passengers with full luggage, 7 travelling light For a mountain itinerary, confirm the actual vehicle variation, drivetrain and current route suitability before booking.
- Toyota Land Cruiser 4 to 5 passengers with full luggage Confirm the actual vehicle variation, passenger and luggage fit, and current route suitability before booking.
- Toyota Hiace Grand Cabin 13 passengers plus the driver The group and family vehicle. Gulf arrivals into Sialkot and Peshawar with heavy luggage, tour groups, weddings, long intercity runs.
- Toyota Coaster 25 to 29 passengers with hold luggage For a group journey, confirm the actual vehicle capacity and whether the accepted fare includes tolls.
How booking works
- 01 Tell us the journey Where from, where to, when, how many of you and how much luggage. Precise addresses matter more than you would think, because a Rawalpindi address and an Islamabad address twenty minutes apart are very different journeys.
- 02 Review the fare or quote Where offered, online fares and written quotes show the journey and vehicle class they cover. Check tolls, waiting time and extras before you confirm.
- 03 Check your confirmed details Keep your booking reference or written quote. Confirm the vehicle, driver where applicable, and pickup or collection instructions before travel.
- 04 You travel Follow the confirmed meeting or collection instructions. Check the vehicle and, where a driver is provided, their identity before starting.
Frequently asked questions
Which intercity routes do you cover?
The motorway corridors between Islamabad, Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, Karachi, Hyderabad and Peshawar, plus the hill and northern routes to Murree, Swat, Skardu, Gilgit and Hunza.
What is the M-2 toll?
Motorway tolls vary by road and vehicle category and may change. Review the treatment of tolls in your actual journey price before accepting, and check the current operator or road-authority information if you need the underlying toll rate.
Are tolls included in the price?
Review whether tolls are included or excluded in the price shown for your chosen journey. Ask for clarification before accepting if the treatment of a toll or other charge is unclear.
Why do you not publish a rate card?
The planner shows the fare for the journey you enter. A different route, date, service mode or vehicle can produce a different price; review your actual offer and its inclusions.
Is the coach cheaper?
Check current fares and timetables directly with the operator for your travel date. Compare the full journey, including transfers to and from terminals, luggage rules and the stated inclusions, rather than treating an older example as today’s price.
Can I take the train instead?
Check Pakistan Railways’ current passenger identification, booking and payment requirements directly before choosing rail. Do not assume that an overseas visitor is excluded or that a foreign card will be accepted.
Do you drive at night on the motorways?
Do not assume that the whole route is lit or that night travel is suitable. Consider current conditions, the city sections, planned breaks and the driver’s duty and rest arrangements when choosing a departure time.
Can we stop on the way?
Yes. Add planned stops to the request so route and timing can be assessed and priced before you travel.
How long is too long for one day?
Roughly, anything past about eight hours of driving needs a plan rather than an assumption. Islamabad to Lahore and back is a normal day. Islamabad to Skardu or Hunza is not, and we quote those as multi-day journeys.
Is a van cheaper than two cars for a group?
Often, and the toll arithmetic is part of it: two cars pay two tolls and two drivers. But check luggage capacity before seats, because the constraint is usually the boot.
Do you cross into Azad Kashmir or Gilgit-Baltistan?
Yes for both, with the caveat that Gilgit-Baltistan is subject to seasonal road closures and landslides, so itineraries there need slack in them.
Is the price fixed?
Review the price, inclusions and exclusions for the exact journey before accepting. Agree a revised fare for changes to the route, stops, dates or timing; the accepted fare applies to the agreed journey and stated inclusions once the booking is confirmed.
Tell us the journey and we will price it
Send the route, date, passenger count and luggage details. We will show an available live price or prepare a quote with the vehicle class and terms it assumes. Check the final offer before confirming; if the journey is unavailable, we will tell you.
