Eighteen hours is long enough to be worth reconsidering
This is one of the few routes on the site where we would tell you to check the alternatives before booking a bus at all. Sixteen to eighteen hours in a seat costs you the day you travel and often most of the next one. The train covers the same ground with a berth you can lie down in, and a flight to Karachi followed by the short hop to Hyderabad is faster than the coach if you can find a reasonable fare. None of that makes the bus a bad choice, but on this distance it should be a choice rather than a default.

Which is the best bus service from Islamabad to Hyderabad
On the longest run covered here, comfort stops being a luxury and starts being the point of the ticket.
Sania Express
The fare floor here and air conditioned at that price, with a Sindh network that helps if Hyderabad is a staging point rather than the destination.
From Rs 3,000
Kohistan Express
A reclining luxury seat for Rs 600 over the floor. On eighteen hours that is the smallest amount of money that meaningfully changes the journey.
From Rs 3,600
Faisal Movers business
The widest seat and the fastest scheduled time at sixteen hours, and Rs 2,000 less than Daewoo Luxury for the same road.
From Rs 5,400
Daewoo Express
Proper terminals at both ends and the most predictable timing, listing the destination as Hyderabad City. The dearest ticket on the route by a wide margin.
From Rs 7,400
Our verdict
If you are taking the bus, do not take the cheapest one. Eighteen hours in standard seating to save Rs 600 over a luxury seat is a poor trade, and Faisal Movers business class at Rs 5,400 is the honest recommendation for anyone who needs to function on arrival. Before booking any of them, price the train berth and a Karachi flight, because on this distance both are genuinely competitive.
