KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Karachi
- Karachi is a sprawling metropolis and is the twelfth largest city in the world in terms of area. Car hire in Karachi is, therefore, a good idea, as it will enable you to move around the city and explore all its corners, such as the outlying suburb of Bahria Town that houses dancing fountains, Egyptian columns, Trafalgar Square and Grand Jamia Mosque. You can also reach attractions in surrounding areas, such as the historic city of Thatta and Kirthar and Hingol National Parks.
- Karachi car hire is available from Sixt and Europcar at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport (KHI). You will find their kiosks in the arrivals area of the terminal. The airport is located 20 km from the city centre, but your travel time will depend on traffic and on where in the city you are staying.
- Karachi is a big and busy city with multiple highways, and in Pakistan, you drive on the left. Many of the common road rules apply, such as stopping for pedestrians at a crossing, keeping left and passing right and not operating a mobile phone while driving. It is prohibited to drive under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicines. On narrow hills, drivers coming up the hill have right of way and drivers going down the hill must stop and give way. At roundabouts, you give way to cars on your right.
- As Karachi is a busy city, there is a lot of traffic jostling for a place on the roads. At any given time, you’ll be driving alongside public buses, rickshaws, motorcycles and pedestrians. Car hire in Karachi doesn’t need to be scary though. The key is to have patience, be alert and don’t rush. At traffic lights, you may have people trying to wash your windows. If you don’t want that, just indicate to them to stop. A GPS will help take the stress out of navigation.
- Book your car hire in Karachi at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy hire cars in Karachi are around 67% cheaper than other car types, on average
