Ride-hailing is the easiest way to get around Lahore independently. Careem and inDrive are the most widely used apps (Uber withdrew from Pakistan in 2022, its local operations merged into Careem), offering cars and cheaper bike/rickshaw options at low, app-fixed fares.
Which apps to use
Careem and inDrive dominate; Bykea offers bike and delivery rides. Fares are shown up front, and paying by cash or card avoids haggling. Have a local SIM with data — see our SIM card guide.
Tips
Confirm the driver and plate, share your trip, and keep small cash for cash rides. For monuments and multi-stop days, a private car-and-driver (which we provide) is more comfortable than repeated app rides.
Or let us drive
Our tours include a private air-conditioned vehicle and English-speaking driver, so you skip the apps entirely. See getting around Lahore.
