Self Drive Car Rental in Pakistan: Rules, Documents, Security Deposit & Guide

Self-drive car rentals give you complete freedom and privacy to explore Pakistan at your own pace. Whether taking your family on a scenic vacation or driving yourself to meetings, knowing the standard rental requirements ensures a seamless experience.

Required Documents for Self-Drive Rental in Pakistan:

  1. Valid Driving License: A clean, unexpired Pakistani driving license (or International Driving Permit for overseas Pakistanis and foreigners).
  2. Original CNIC / Passport: A copy of your National Identity Card or valid Passport with entry visa.
  3. Proof of Residence / Employment: A recent utility bill, office employee card, or business card for identity verification.

How Does the Refundable Security Deposit Work?

For self-drive bookings, rental companies require a security deposit before handing over the vehicle keys. At ATS Rent A Car:

  • The deposit amount is calculated as 3x the daily rental rate of the vehicle.
  • It covers any unforeseen traffic e-challans or minor damages during the rental period.
  • The deposit is 100% refunded immediately or within 24-48 hours upon safe return and inspection of the vehicle.

Key Inspection Checks Before Leaving the Office:

Before hitting the road, always conduct a joint walk-around inspection with our staff:

  • Record a quick video of the car exterior and interior noting any pre-existing scratches.
  • Verify fuel meter reading and odometer mileage.
  • Confirm spare tire (stepney) and car jack are present in the trunk.
