Rent a Car Skardu – Car Rental with Driver

Looking for a professional and convenient Rent a Car Skardu service? Call: 0307-3226029. WhatsApp: 0315-3226029. Skardu is the main town of Baltistan in Gilgit-Baltistan, and the starting point for Shangrila Lake, Deosai National Park, Shigar Fort, Khaplu and the trekking routes toward K2. Flights from Islamabad are often delayed or cancelled in bad weather, and the road is long, so many visitors arrive with changed plans and need transport at short notice.

Awan Rent a Car PKD arranges cars with driver in Skardu and for long trips from Islamabad. Our fleet includes 4x4 SUVs, family SUVs, Hiace vans and Coaster buses, with drivers who know the mountain roads and the seasonal limits on routes such as Deosai.

Why Choose Awan Rent a Car PKD in Skardu?

Skardu roads are very different from the plains. Distances look short on a map but take hours, and the surface can change from tarmac to gravel quickly. A standard sedan is fine around the town, Shangrila and Kachura, but Deosai, Shigar and the upper valleys need a high-clearance 4x4. We help you match the vehicle to your itinerary rather than selling you the biggest car.

• Skardu Airport Transfers: pickup and drop at Skardu airport, with flexible timing when flights are delayed by weather
• Shangrila and Kachura Lakes: half-day trips to Lower and Upper Kachura with a driver who knows the parking and viewpoints
• Deosai National Park: 4x4 trips to the high plateau during its open season, including Sheosar Lake
• Shigar and Khaplu Tours: day trips to Shigar Fort and the Khaplu valley, including Khaplu Fort
• Trekker and Mountaineer Transport: transfers toward Askole and other trailheads for K2 and Baltoro expeditions
• Verified Drivers: background-checked, with valid CNIC and driving licence
• Transparent Pricing: fare, waiting time and fuel terms confirmed on WhatsApp before departure

Cars for Every Occasion

• Economy Cars: only for flat roads around Skardu town and Shangrila in good weather
• Luxury Sedans: for airport transfers and short city trips
• Family SUVs and 4x4s: essential for Deosai, Shigar, Khaplu and rough mountain roads
• Hiace & Coasters: for tour groups, expedition teams and large families

Every vehicle is sanitized and checked before it leaves, including tyre, brake and AC checks before any long-distance trip.

Safety and Hygiene

For mountain routes we check tyres, brakes, spare wheels, fuel range and cooling, and we advise carrying water, snacks and warm layers. Drivers carry valid CNIC and driving licence, and live location sharing is available. Landslides and rockfall can close roads suddenly, so we plan with buffer time.

Ideal for All Occasions

Skardu visitors are often on once-in-a-lifetime trips, so planning matters. Typical bookings include:

• Family and honeymoon tours across Baltistan
• Airport arrivals and departures, including rescheduled flights
• Trekkers and mountaineers heading for K2 and Baltoro
• Gilgit (approx. 235 km, around 6 hours depending on road work and weather)
• Khaplu (approx. 100 km, around 3 hours)
• Long road trips from Islamabad via the Karakoram Highway (typically two days with an overnight stop)
• Photography and research trips for journalists and NGO workers

Best time to visit: May to October is the main season. Deosai usually opens in summer after the snow clears and closes again in autumn. Winter brings snow and frequent road and flight disruptions.

Road conditions: The Karakoram Highway and the Skardu road can be blocked by landslides, especially in the monsoon. Always keep spare days in your plan and check current road status before leaving. Long drives from Islamabad are best split over two days with a safe overnight stop.
