Car Transport FAQs

Yes. Every vehicle we move is covered by comprehensive transit insurance, and you receive the policy details at the time of booking. Learn more about our car transport service.

Open carriers are economical and suit standard vehicles. Enclosed carriers give full weather and road-debris protection, ideal for luxury and vintage cars. See our car transport rates for the price difference.

Islamabad to Lahore takes 1–2 days; Islamabad to Karachi 2–3 days. Exact windows are confirmed at booking and shared with you.
Can I track my car during transit?

What documents do I need for car transport?
You need a copy of your CNIC, the vehicle registration book, and a signed authorization if someone else drops off or receives the car.
Bike Transport FAQs
Do you transport heavy bikes and sports motorcycles?
Yes. We move commuter bikes, heavy bikes and sports motorcycles, secured upright with soft straps and wheel chocks. See our bike transport service for details.
How is my bike secured on the carrier?

Cargo & Freight FAQs
What is the difference between cargo transport and a courier?
Cargo transport moves bulk goods — full or part truckloads — between cities, while couriers handle parcels. Our cargo transport service specialises in freight across Pakistan.

Pricing FAQs
What are typical car carrier charges in Pakistan?
Car carrier charges start from around Rs. 5,000 for short local moves and range up to Rs. 55,000+ for long corridors like Islamabad to Karachi. See our full pricing page for indicative ranges.
Are rates fixed or do they change?
We confirm a fixed written quote before booking. Fuel and seasonal changes can affect new quotes but never the price you confirmed.
What makes enclosed carrier transport more expensive?
Enclosed carriers fully shield the vehicle from weather and debris, adding a premium over open carriers — worth it for luxury and vintage cars.
Is loading and unloading included in the rate?
Yes. Loading, securing and unloading are part of the inclusive rate. Only add-ons like far door pickup may adjust the price.
Documents & Tracking FAQs
Do I need the original registration smart card for car transport?
A copy of the registration book (smart card) is required along with your CNIC. The original stays with you; we document condition with photos at pickup.
What is a bill of lading and why is it important?
The bill of lading is your receipt and contract of carriage. It records vehicle condition and terms, and is essential for tracking and any insurance claim.
How do I track my shipment during transport?
We send regular WhatsApp updates with GPS location and estimated arrival. The bill of lading reference lets our team trace your consignment quickly.
What if my vehicle is damaged in transit?
Report it on the delivery inspection report and we initiate the transit insurance claim using the bill of lading and photos taken at pickup.
