Rent a Car from Karachi to Multan with a Driver
Rent a car from Karachi to Multan with a professional driver. Karachi to Multan is about 885 km and 12 hours of driving: one long day, or two with a night in Sukkur. We drive it in both directions, one-way or return, or as part of a longer journey to Faisalabad, Lahore or Islamabad.
One long day or a night in Sukkur
We suggest splitting the trip, especially with children or older relatives. Sukkur is the natural break: about six and a half hours from Karachi, where the N-5 ends and the M-5 begins. Leave Sukkur after breakfast and the M-5 brings you into Multan around lunchtime. To do it in one go, start early so the slower N-5 is behind you in daylight and the evening is spent on the motorway. On a night away, the driver's room and meals are part of the quote.
Multan to Karachi: the run south
We collect from your home, your hotel or Multan International Airport and drive you to any address in Karachi or to Jinnah International. Leave early and you can be in Karachi by late evening, or stop in Sukkur and arrive the next day. Multan has its own flights to Karachi. The road is the better choice when several people share the car, there is a lot to carry, or you need the car at either end.
Choosing a car for 885 km
For up to four people, the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla Altis Grande are the comfortable choices at motorway speed. A Toyota Corolla GLi / XLi costs less. A family of six fits a Toyota Prado, and larger families can ask about a Toyota Grand Cabin, with the layout and bags confirmed. For a wedding party or company group, a Toyota Coaster 4C has a current 22-seat listing.
How the Multan trip is priced
The whole trip is quoted as one price, whether you need the outward drive, the round trip or the car for your days in Multan as well. Fuel is billed per kilometre at a stated rate, or you top up the tank at the end of each day. Motorway tolls are extra. Cash, card, bank transfer and online payment all work, and companies can settle once a month against an invoice. Cancel 24 hours or more before pickup and you owe nothing. If the car breaks down between Karachi and Multan, we send a replacement.

Questions people ask
How long is the drive from Karachi to Multan?

How many kilometres is Karachi to Multan by road?
About 885 km: the M-9 to Hyderabad, the N-5 to Sukkur at about km 470, and the 392 km M-5 motorway to Multan. The exact figure varies by a few kilometres with where you start and finish.

No. The roughly 307 km from Hyderabad to Sukkur is on the N-5 National Highway; the M-9 and M-5 motorways cover the rest.
Are there places to stop on the M-5?
Yes. The M-5 has 12 service areas, roughly every 65 km, and 10 rest areas, so fuel, food and prayer breaks are easy. The M-9 at the Karachi end has far fewer, so tell the driver if you want an early break.
Can we stop at Uch Sharif on the way to Multan?
Yes. The M-5's Uch Sharif interchange is the turning for Uch and its Sufi shrines, including the tomb of Bibi Jawindi. The detour and the visit lengthen an already long day, so tell us when you book and we will build them into the timing and the quote.
Can the same driver take us on from Multan to Lahore or Islamabad?
Yes, the same car and driver can do the whole journey; tell us the full itinerary when you book. From Multan the M-4 runs 309 km north through Faisalabad to Pindi Bhattian, where it joins the M-2 for Islamabad. For Lahore, it meets the M-3 at Abdul Hakeem.
