Islamabad to Lahore by road
The distance from Islamabad to Lahore is about 375 km and the drive takes 4–4.5 hours, depending on traffic and stops. The route follows the M-2 motorway, the fastest and safest road between Lahore and the twin cities. It passes the Salt Range near Kallar Kahar, where the road climbs and descends steeply, so an experienced driver makes a real difference.
Our one-way car drop picks you up from your door in Islamabad and drops you at any address in Lahore. You do not pay for the car's return journey separately – it is already built into the fare, which starts from Rs 21,000 for a Corolla, City or Yaris including fuel and motorway tolls.
