Rent a Car in Gulshan-e-Iqbal
This is our own neighbourhood. Alpha Car Rentals works out of Suite 08, Building A1, Civic View Apartment, Mezzanine Floor, Block 13-D, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi 75300, which means a car for a Gulshan address does not have to cross the city to reach you. Fifteen vehicles, with a driver or self-drive, from PKR 5,000 a day for a Suzuki Alto. Call or WhatsApp +92 311 2847167.
Delivery across the blocks
We reach the whole of Gulshan quickly: NIPA Chowrangi and the University Road stretch, Civic Centre, the Block 6 and Block 13 markets, Disco Bakery and the Expo Centre side, the roads behind Safari Park, and across to Gulistan-e-Johar and Johar Chowrangi. Give the block, the street and the building name and the driver will be at your gate; in Gulshan a block number on its own can mean half a kilometre of walking. Because the office is here, a short-notice booking is often possible when it would not be across town.
Who books cars in Gulshan
The mix here is particular: families needing a car for a few days while their own is in the workshop, students and staff heading to NED and Urdu University, exhibitors and visitors during an event at the Expo Centre, and people with relatives arriving from out of town who want the airport run handled properly. Monthly hire is also common in Gulshan, usually a Corolla or a Honda City with the same driver each morning for an office commute along University Road or Shahrah-e-Faisal.
Where a Gulshan booking usually goes
Most days start here and end somewhere predictable: Jinnah International Airport down Shahrah-e-Faisal, the Sunday visit to Clifton or Seaview, hospital appointments on Stadium Road, Saddar for paperwork, or out on the M-9 for a day trip to Hyderabad. Because you are starting on this side of the city, the airport run is short compared with a Clifton or DHA start, which is worth remembering when you are deciding what time to leave for an early flight. Customers heading out of the city on the Super Highway for a farmhouse day also start close to us, so the car is at the gate without a long empty run first.
Collect from the office or take delivery
You are welcome to come to the office in Block 13-D and see the car before you take it, which is the simplest way to sort out a self-drive booking: the documents, the handover and the keys in one visit. For self-drive, the requirements and the security arrangement are confirmed by the office before handover - our self-drive page sets out what is usually involved. If you would rather not come in, the car is delivered to your address and the paperwork is done there.

Questions people ask
Where exactly is your office in Gulshan-e-Iqbal?
Suite 08, Building A1, Civic View Apartment, Mezzanine Floor, Block 13-D, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi 75300. That is the head office of Alpha Car Rentals and where the whole operation is run from. Call or WhatsApp +92 311 2847167 before coming so someone is there to meet you and the car you want is on site.
Can I get a car the same day in Gulshan?
Often yes, because you are close to the office and the car does not have to cross the city to reach you. It depends entirely on what is free at that moment. Message the office on WhatsApp with the time you need it and the type of car, and you will get a straight answer rather than a maybe.
Do you deliver to Gulistan-e-Johar and NIPA?
Yes, both are next door and are regular drops, along with University Road, Civic Centre and the Expo Centre area. Give the block, the street and the building name, plus a landmark if the street is hard to find, and the driver will reach the gate at the time agreed rather than phoning you from a chowrangi.
