Methodology

Source: every car listing on HireACar.pk that is approved by our verification team and currently available for booking. Listings flagged as unavailable, under review, or rejected are excluded.

Price field: the published daily rateset by the owner. We do not adjust for weekend premiums, seasonal multipliers, or driver-included surcharges — the figure shown is the headline daily rate a renter sees on the listing page.

Aggregation: medianis the price at the 50th percentile within each cohort (city, body style, or city × type). Average is the arithmetic mean. Rangeis the lowest and highest observed prices. Cohorts with fewer than 2 listings in a given month are reported as — to avoid spurious precision.

Refresh cadence: the page is regenerated on a 30-day cycle. The last regeneration was on or around 20/09/2026.

License: data is published under CC BY 4.0. You are free to quote, chart and republish provided you credit HireACar.pk and link to this page.
