Tourist Tips for Pakistan

Get a Local SIM: A Pakistani SIM card is essential. Available at the airport (PIA/Iqra or other providers), costs around 300-500 PKR, and makes driver communication much easier. Drivers will call you frequently, especially for address confirmation.

Cash on Delivery: While apps accept cards, many delivery platforms in Pakistan prefer cash payment. This is normal and secure. Have cash ready, and drivers will bring change.

Address Clarity: Pakistani addresses can be complex with multiple lane numbers and area names. Write your location clearly in English and Urdu if possible. Providing landmark details (e.g., "near Defence Library") helps drivers immensely.

Tipping Culture: Tipping is not obligatory in Pakistan but appreciated. A 10% tip for good service is customary. Most apps allow cash tips or app-based tipping.

Delivery Times: Pakistani cities have heavy traffic, especially during rush hours (1-3 PM and 6-9 PM). Expect longer delivery times than Western countries. Order during off-peak hours for faster delivery.
