The standard document checklist
Most self-drive businesses ask for a valid driving licence, an original CNIC (or passport, and sometimes an international driving permit for overseas visitors), and a refundable security deposit held for the hire period.
Some may take a utility bill or a second ID as added security, especially for newer or higher-value cars. Ask exactly what is needed when you enquire so you can bring it on the day.
Deposit and fuel policy
A refundable deposit is standard and returned when you bring the car back in the same condition; the amount depends on the vehicle and the length of hire.
The usual fuel policy is “same-to-same” — return it with the fuel level you received. Confirm the policy in writing so there are no surprises at the end of the rental.
