Where to Find the Car Rental Center
Finding the car rental counters at Islamabad International Airport is straightforward. The desks are conveniently located to serve arriving international passengers.
After you deplane, clear immigration, and collect your bags from the baggage claim carousel, you will proceed through customs. Once you exit the customs area, you will enter the main International Arrivals Hall.
This public hall is where you'll find currency exchange counters, information desks, and greeters. Look for overhead signs directing you to "Car Rental" or "Rent-a-Car." The major car rental companies have their service desks grouped together in this area, making them easy to spot.
Once you have completed the paperwork at the counter, you will be directed to the vehicle pickup point. The rental cars are parked in a designated section of the main airport parking lot, which is located just a short walk from the terminal building. You will not need a shuttle bus; an agent will typically escort you or provide clear directions for the brief walk to your vehicle.
Your Step-by-Step Pickup Guide
Proceed to the Counter
In the Arrivals Hall, locate the desk for the rental company specified on your QEEQ booking confirmation (e.g., Avis, Hertz, etc.). Have your booking details ready.
Present Your Required Documents
Provide your Passport (proof of identity), a valid state-issued American driver's license, an International Driving Permit (IDP, highly recommended), a Credit Card in the main driver's name (Visa or MasterCard; debit cards generally not accepted for the security deposit), and your QEEQ Booking Voucher (printed or digital).
Review the Rental Agreement
The agent will prepare your rental contract. Review key details such as the fuel policy (typically "full-to-full") and any mileage restrictions. Ask for clarification on anything you don't understand before signing.
Inspect Your Vehicle
Conduct a thorough inspection of the car with the rental agent. Use your smartphone to take photos and a walk-around video. Document any existing scratches, dents, or upholstery stains, and confirm this pre-existing damage is noted on your rental paperwork.
Required Documents for Pickup
- Your Passport
- As proof of identity.
- A Valid Driver's License
- Your valid, state-issued American driver's license is required.
- International Driving Permit (IDP)
- While not always mandatory if your license is in English, carrying an IDP is highly recommended. It provides an official translation of your license and is recognized internationally.
- Credit Card in the Main Driver's Name
- This is non-negotiable. The credit card must be a major one (Visa, MasterCard) and must physically belong to the primary driver listed on the rental agreement. Debit cards are generally not accepted for the security deposit.
- QEEQ Booking Voucher
- Have a printed copy or a digital version on your phone of your booking confirmation from QEEQ.
