Islamabad to Murree by Taxi
Up the expressway to the hills with the fare agreed before you leave — to Mall Road, Bhurban or Patriata, from anywhere in Islamabad or Rawalpindi. Book the way back at the same time and the hardest part of a Murree day out is already solved.
Where in Murree are you going?
"Murree" covers a lot of ground, and the destination changes the journey. Mall Road and the town itself are the usual answer; Bhurban is off to one side and is where most of the resort stays are; Patriata is further on again, and is a day-trip destination rather than somewhere to be dropped at night.
Put the actual destination into the booking form and it prices that trip rather than a generic hill run. Every vehicle class available is shown at once, which matters here more than in the city: a family of six on a winding road is a very different booking from two people.
Book the way back, not just the way up
This is the advice worth taking from this page even if you book nothing. Getting to Murree is easy — everyone is going that way. Getting back down on a Sunday evening, on a public holiday, or after the first snow of the season is when people find themselves negotiating on a crowded roadside with a tired family, in the dark, with no alternative.
Booking the return leg at the same time turns that into something already decided. And if your day involves moving around the hill — Mall Road, then Bhurban, then back — a day booking keeps one car and one driver with you for all of it.

Winter, snow and knowing when not to go
Murree gets proper snow, and that is exactly why people go — but the hill roads slow down or close when it is heavy, and conditions can change between booking and travelling. We would rather tell you a day is a bad idea than take a booking that strands you halfway up. In winter, travel earlier in the day, expect the drive to take longer than it looks, and keep the return time flexible.
Beyond Murree
Plenty of Murree trips carry on into the Galiyat, and some skip Murree entirely. Nathia Gali is the usual destination up there, reachable from Murree along the ridge or from Abbottabad on the other side. Say which way you want to go when you book and it is priced as one journey.
Islamabad to Murree taxi FAQs
How much is a taxi from Islamabad to Murree?
Enter your pickup address and where in Murree you are going — Mall Road, Bhurban and Patriata are all different destinations — and the booking form prices the journey for each vehicle class before you confirm.
Should I book the return as well?
On this route, yes. Finding a car back down the hill on a busy weekend or a holiday is the part of the day people underestimate, and it is the moment you have the least bargaining power. Booking both legs settles it in advance.
Can I book a car for the whole day?
Yes, and for Murree it is often the sensible choice — a day booking keeps the same car and driver with you between Mall Road, Bhurban and Patriata instead of hunting for transport at each stop. Tell us when you book.
What about snow and winter conditions?
Murree gets real snow, and the hill roads close or slow when it is heavy. We will tell you honestly if conditions mean a booking is not sensible rather than starting a journey that cannot finish. Book earlier in the day in winter and keep the return flexible.
Do you go on to Nathia Gali and the Galiyat?
Yes — Nathia Gali and the wider Galiyat are a longer run beyond Murree and have their own page. Many people book Murree and the Galiyat as one day out; say so when booking and it is priced as a single journey.
Can you pick up from Rawalpindi?
Yes. Rawalpindi sits at the bottom of the Murree Road corridor, so pickups from Saddar, Committee Chowk, Chaklala and Bahria Town are routine on this route.
