Looking for a professional and convenient Rent a Car Gilgit service? Call: 0307-3226029. WhatsApp: 0315-3226029. Gilgit is the capital of Gilgit-Baltistan and the main crossroads of the north, where the Karakoram Highway (N-35) meets the roads to Hunza, Skardu, Ghizer and Chitral. It sits where the Gilgit and Hunza rivers join, with Rakaposhi and Nanga Parbat within reach. Nearly every journey in the far north passes through here, so transport is needed for both arrivals and onward trips.
Awan Rent a Car PKD arranges cars with driver in Gilgit and for long trips from Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Abbottabad. Our fleet includes 4x4 SUVs, family SUVs, Hiace vans and Coaster buses, with drivers who know the KKH and the side roads into the high valleys.
Why Choose Awan Rent a Car PKD in Gilgit?
Gilgit works as a base, not a final stop. Visitors spend a night here before heading to Hunza, Naltar or Skardu, and the best itinerary depends on weather, flights and road status. Our drivers help you decide what is possible in a day, and they tell you honestly when a landslide or flight delay means changing the plan.

Safety and Hygiene
