Bank AL Habib runs two distinct car financing tracks under one "ApniCar" brand — marketed with the tagline "Your Journey Begins Here — Drive Your Dream Car with AL Habib Apni Car Financing": a conventional auto loan on the mainstream side, and Islamic ApniCar structured as Diminishing Musharakah (Shirkat-ul-Milk) through the bank's Islamic Banking Division. They're not the same product with different labels — the ownership and pricing mechanics genuinely differ, which matters if you specifically want Shariah compliance rather than just a lower headline rate.

Both tracks cover new and used locally manufactured vehicles, with easy monthly installments, flexible markup rates, and quick processing with minimal documentation. Below is how each version works, followed by the RDA-specific variant built for overseas Pakistanis financing a car for family members still in Pakistan.

Conventional ApniCar vs. Islamic ApniCar

Feature	Conventional ApniCar	Islamic ApniCar (Diminishing Musharakah)
Structure	Standard auto loan — principal plus markup	Bank and customer jointly own the vehicle (Shirkat-ul-Milk); bank rents its share to the customer
What you pay	Principal + markup installments	Rental on the bank's ownership units, which the customer periodically buys out
Rate basis	Fixed (KIBOR-linked at booking) or Variable (revised on each financing anniversary)	Profit rate under Shariah-compliant Diminishing Musharakah terms
Minimum down payment	30% for locally manufactured brand-new vehicles	Set per the Islamic Banking Division's current schedule
Maximum tenure	Up to 5 years (4–5 years only for locally manufactured vehicles up to 1000cc)	Structured per Islamic Banking Division terms
