Johar Town sits on the south-western side of Lahore, along Canal Road, with Emporium Mall and Expo Centre at its heart and Thokar Niaz Baig just down the road. It is a mix of family homes, student hostels, hospitals and big event venues, which makes for very different car rental needs on the same street.
Hospital visits
Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Doctors Hospital draw patients from all over Pakistan. Families who come to Lahore for treatment often need a reliable car for days or weeks: drop-offs at the entrance, a driver who waits through long appointments, and a calm ride back to where they are staying.
A car with a driver on a daily booking covers this. For longer stays, a monthly car rental is usually the better deal. If you are flying in, we can start with an airport pickup and keep the same car for the rest of your stay.
Exhibitions at Expo Centre
Expo Centre hosts trade shows, book fairs and exhibitions through the year. On big days the roads around it slow right down and parking fills early. Exhibitors usually book:
- A sedan or two with drivers for the team, on call from setup to the last evening.
- A Toyota Hiace or a coaster for staff, samples and stand material.
- Airport pickups for visiting buyers and partners.
Students and universities
The University of Central Punjab and other campuses nearby mean plenty of students who need a car for a weekend, a trip home or a family visit. A self drive car works if you meet the requirements. For trips home to another city, a car with a driver on a one way or return trip is often less tiring. See our documents guide for what to bring.
A good base for road trips
Thokar Niaz Baig is about 15 minutes from most of Johar Town, which puts you on the M-2 for Islamabad and Faisalabad sooner than almost anywhere else in Lahore. The M-3 to Multan is close too.
Local tips from our drivers
- Canal Road peaks: Canal Road towards Gulberg and the Mall is slowest from about 8 to 10 am and 5 to 8 pm.
- Emporium on weekends: the roads around Emporium Mall back up on Friday and Saturday evenings. Agree a pickup entrance in advance.
- Expo days: if your pickup is near Expo Centre during a big exhibition, add 20 minutes to your plan.
- Winter fog: early mornings near Thokar Niaz Baig and the motorway can be foggy in December and January.

Renting a car in Johar Town: questions
Can you do regular trips to Shaukat Khanum or Doctors Hospital?
Yes. Many families need a car for repeat appointments. A daily booking with a driver covers drop-off, waiting and the ride home. For treatment that runs for weeks, a monthly car rental usually costs less per day.
Do you supply cars and vans for Expo Centre exhibitions?
Yes. Exhibitors usually book sedans for their team and a Toyota Hiace for staff and samples. During big exhibitions, hotels and cars near Expo Centre fill up, so book as soon as your dates are fixed.
How do I get onto the M-2 from Johar Town?
Thokar Niaz Baig is about 15 minutes away in normal traffic, which makes Johar Town one of the quickest parts of Lahore for trips to Islamabad, Faisalabad and the north. The M-3 towards Multan is close by too.
Can students rent a self drive car in Johar Town?
Yes, if you meet the self drive requirements. You need a valid driving licence, your CNIC and a refundable deposit, and the age and licence rules on our policies page apply. Self drive cars are handed over at our Lahore Cantt office, or at your address in Lahore on request.
How long is the drive from Johar Town to the airport?
About 45 minutes in normal traffic via Canal Road or the Ring Road. At peak hours, allow an hour or more. Most airlines ask you to be at the airport about 3 hours before an international flight, so add the drive and a margin to that.
