Before diving into the rates, here is what you get with Haxn, what options there are, how the service works.
They have small economy/hatchback cars like Suzuki Alto; sedans like Corolla, Honda Civic/BRV; SUVs like Toyota Prado, Land Cruiser V8; also more premium / luxury cars for special occasions.
Many vehicles are offered with driver or without driver. The rate will differ. Also, for certain luxury or large SUVs, only chauffeur-service may be available locally.
“Local” means within Islamabad & Rawalpindi. Outstation means trips beyond the city or inter-city travel. Rates are higher for outstation usage. Fuel, tolls, sometimes driver’s accommodation may also affect charges.
Premium brands / high-end SUVs / luxury sedans / weddings / VIP events have much higher rates. Also, special requirements (decorations, long hours) can push up price.
For many rentals, you need valid CNIC or passport, driver’s license. If renting without a driver, additional requirements may include security deposits, bank guarantee, guarantors. For outstation use, the company may ask for more formalities.
Here are typical per-day rates for different vehicle categories with Haxn Rent A Car in Islamabad / Rawalpindi, based on recent data. These are approximations and subject to change depending on date, availability, and demand.
When car is used outside Islamabad/Rawalpindi, includes longer hours, more wear & tear, possibly overnight stay for driver etc.
The “with driver” vs “without driver” difference can be significant: without driver often means more security deposit, guarantors, sometimes only certain cars are eligible.
Also note Haxn offers special rates or discounts for long-term rentals (weekly, monthly) or corporate clients.
To make things concrete, here are some representative examples from Haxn with their rates, terms, etc.
Locally (Islamabad/Rawalpindi) with driver: PKR 12,000/day. Outstation use: ~ PKR 14,000/day. Fuel and related charges sometimes extra, driver provided.
PKR 20,000/day locally. For use outside city, increases.
PKR 5,000/day locally. Without driver may have additional charges.
PKR 6,000/day locally.
For certain years/models, rates ~ PKR 10,000/day (local). For outstation / special request, higher.
Mercedes, BMW etc. One example: BMW 7 Series ~ PKR 120,000/day; Range Rover White ~ PKR 110,000/day.
Understanding what goes into pricing helps you make better decisions.
Smaller, less powerful, older cars cost less. Luxury and high-end SUVs cost much more.
If you hire with a driver, part of the cost is paying the driver, his fuel, allowances, etc. If without driver, the company often charges more in deposit or insurance; not all cars are available without driver.
Outstation trips involve additional cost: fuel, tolls, possible return journey, driver’s accommodations. If rental is for a one-way drop-off, that adds cost. For example Haxn charges more for outstation Prado, Revo, etc.
Daily rates assume 12-14 hour usage. Longer hires (several days, or a week) often get reduced per-day rate. Monthly rentals usually have much better rates per day.
During holiday seasons, weekends, special events, demand is higher → rates increase. Also advance bookings may allow locking in lower rates.
Fuel: whether car is rented with full tank, whether you need to refill.
Toll / Taxes / Permits: For outstation, or entry into certain areas, there may be extra.
Driver’s expenses (if with driver): meals, lodging if overnight, etc.
Insurance, security deposit or bank guarantee.
Newer models, well-maintained cars may cost more. If car has premium features (4×4, automatic transmission, leather seats, air conditioning, GPS), that may increase price.
If you want pick-up from Airport, or hotel, or from distant parts of the city, there may be extra charges for distance, waiting time.
When renting from Haxn or any rent-a-car, these “extras” often catch people unaware. Always check:
Whether fuel is included, or you have to pay / refill.
Whether mileage limit applies (some rentals limit daily kilometers, extra km cost).
Driver cost (if with driver): is it included in daily rate or paid separately? Includes allowances for food, lodging for outstation?
Insurance and damage liability: what happens if there is damage, flat tyre, accident? Is there insurance, what deductibles or responsibilities?
Deposit, security cheque, guarantors: especially for no-driver rentals, outstation rentals.
Return conditions: time of return (late return penalty), car condition, cleanliness, etc.
Extra hours: if you use more than agreed 12-14 hours, some companies charge additional “hourly” rate.
Toll taxes, road permits, etc. for special regions.
To help you plan, here are sample budgets for different use-cases based on Haxn rates (plus estimates for fuel, driver, etc.). These are approximate.
Here are strategies to save money or get better value:
Book in Advance: Reserving ahead (especially for premium or popular vehicles) gives better chance of locking good rates.
Negotiate for Longer Duration: If you need for multiple days, ask for a discounted rate. Many companies reduce daily rate for 3-5 days, week, or monthly rentals.
Check for Package Deals: Sometimes combining car + driver + fuel may offer lower cost than piecing separately.
Avoid Peak Demand Times If Possible: Weekends, holidays, and festival times see higher demand → rates go up.
Compare Multiple Providers: Get quotes from Haxn and other companies; check their condition, reviews, included services to compare properly.
Be Clear on What’s Included: Fuel, tolls, driver food / overnight stay, insurance etc. Are they included or extra? Ask for an all-in quote.
Check Hidden Fees: Cleanliness fee, waiting time, late return penalty etc.
Inspect the Car Before Accepting: Take note of existing damage; take photos or video so you don’t get charged for stuff that was not your fault.
Ask for Self-Drive Option: If you’re confident driving and company allows self-drive, it may save driver costs (though deposit and insurance may be higher).
Verify Licenses & Insurance: Ensures you’re covered in case of accident or mishaps.
To avoid unpleasant surprises, here are Haxn’s terms as known from their website & customers:
Main office in G-11/G-12 Signal, Islamabad. Also Rawalpindi & Lahore etc.
Valid CNIC or passport, valid driving license. For outstation/no-driver rentals, additional security/bank cheque, guarantors, proof may be required.
They operate 24/7 for contacts and support.
Call, WhatsApp or visit office. Minimal paperwork for local, driver-included rentals.
They advertise cars are clean, inspected, well maintained. For luxury SUVs, safety features like ABS, airbags, parking sensors are included.
Yes, in many cases. But often you’ll need guarantors, higher security deposit, and you may get limited options (some vehicles only available with driver).
Typically a “day” means about 12-14 hours of usage. If you keep the car longer, extra charges or a half-day charge may apply. Terms vary so ask clearly. Haxn mentions local 12-14 hours per day in several listings.
Usually no. Many Haxn listings say the car is handed over with full tank and customer must return with full tank. Fuel cost borne by customer. Tolls, etc., extra.
Some published rates are fixed, but for things like longer-term hire, corporate deals, or off-peak times, negotiation is possible. Also, special events (wedding etc.) may have special pricing.
Haxn doesn’t publish all cancellation policies on site in detail (that I saw), so when booking, ask what happens if you return late, or cancel. Often there’s a grace period; beyond that, late fee or extra usage will be charged.
If you just need a basic economy car for moving around town, expect ~ PKR 3,000-5,000/day with Haxn for a hatchback / small sedan.
For more comfort / larger cars / small SUVs, expect PKR 6,000-12,000 per day locally.
For premium, large SUVs (Prado, Land Cruiser etc.) or luxury sedans, the rates jump considerably (PKR 15,000-20,000. Luxury up to PKR 80,000-120,000 per day).
For outstation trips, you’ll pay extras:
Fuel, tolls, driver’s stay etc. Always clarify if the listed rate is for local use or includes those extras.
Always get a written or digital quote that clearly shows what is included & what is extra (fuel, driver, mileage, security).
