How much does a driver cost for school runs only?

A part-time school-run driver is typically Rs 20,000 to 30,000 a month, depending on the number of trips, the distance and whether the driver waits in between. Two school runs a day across sectors costs more than a short local route.

Do I pay a driver extra for out-of-city trips?

Usually yes. Families commonly pay a daily allowance for food and an overnight amount if the driver stays away. Agree these figures before the first trip so they are clear for both sides.

Overtime and late nights

Many families pay extra for late evenings or weddings; agreeing a fixed rate upfront avoids arguments.

Out-of-city travel

Trips to Murree, Lahore or Peshawar mean long days and sometimes overnight stays, usually paid separately with a meal allowance.
