Currency Exchange at Lahore Airport

In short

You can exchange currency at Lahore's Allama Iqbal International Airport at exchange counters and ATMs in the arrivals area. Rates at the airport are usually slightly worse than in-city exchange companies, so change a small amount for immediate needs and use city exchanges or bank ATMs for the rest. USD, GBP, EUR and Gulf currencies are widely accepted for exchange.

At the airport

Exchange counters and ATMs are available on arrival. Change enough for a taxi, SIM and snacks; keep some small notes handy.

Better rates in the city

Licensed exchange companies in areas like Gulberg typically offer better rates than the airport. Bank ATMs dispense rupees on international cards. See currency & ATMs in Lahore. If we’re collecting you, you won’t need cash immediately.
