inDrive Launches Premium Rides To Meet Growing Demand For High-End Travel

Karachi, 14 July 2025: inDrive, the country’s largest mobility platform, has launched Premium-category Rides in major cities across Pakistan, offering passengers top-rated drivers and newer vehicles. The move signals the company’s push to capture a growing market segment seeking high-end travel options.

Now available in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, inDrive Premium promises a higher standard of service, featuring newer-model sedans and drivers with ratings of 4.8 or higher. Each vehicle enrolled in the Premium category undergoes additional inspections beyond the standard approval process to ensure a consistently smooth and safe ride.

“inDrive is founded on the belief that everyone deserves the freedom to choose how they move, work, and earn. This principle guides every aspect of our platform,” said Awais Saeed, Country Head of inDrive Pakistan. “With inDrive Premium, we are elevating the standard for travel while maintaining our commitment to fairness and freedom.”

The launch comes as Pakistan’s urban centres witness rising demand for flexible mobility options that don’t compromise on safety or service quality. Saeed added that inDrive sees the premium segment as a natural evolution for a platform built on fairness, trust, and user empowerment.

While inDrive Premium caters to higher-end needs, the company emphasised that the core offering of flexibility in pricing remains unchanged. Passengers can negotiate their price and book premium vehicles on demand. This makes the category ideal for busy professionals, families, or anyone seeking extra comfort and convenience.

Safety is one of the core pillars of inDrive’s platform. The company continues to innovate and invest in robust safety features to protect both passengers and driver-partners, while maintaining industry-low commissions that support its growing community.

Passengers have the ability to choose their driver based on verified profiles, ratings, and ride history. Every driver is thoroughly vetted before joining the platform to ensure they meet inDrive’s standards for professionalism and reliability. inDrive also uses machine learning to monitor for inappropriate behaviour. Throughout each ride, passengers have access to safety tools, ensuring they stay connected and protected at every step.
