Good to know
Age requirements for rentals 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 additional fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.
Travelling with kids? Car seat laws vary from one place to another, and the correct setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Make sure you add the right one to your Karachi car rental reservation.
Bring the right documents to keep the pick-up process smooth. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no screenshots) plus another photo ID. Also keep a credit card handy to cover the required excess. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.

Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 30kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
Hand the keys to someone else if your plans involve alcohol. Pakistan has a zero-tolerance policy on drinking and driving, and fines may apply.
Around 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.
