Not the same journey as Turbat
Both run the coastal highway for most of the way, but Turbat turns inland at Hoshab into the Kech valley while Gwadar stays on the coast. That inland stretch is why Turbat takes longer despite a similar distance. Check which your ticket names, since the two diverge well before the end.
Ring ahead before you travel
Frequency on the Makran corridor is far lower than on the northern routes, and services can be affected by weather or road conditions. Confirm the departure is running rather than turning up at the terminal expecting one, and carry your CNIC, since checks are more common on these roads.
One of the few routes worth travelling by day
Almost everywhere else on this site we suggest overnight departures. The Makran Coastal Highway is the exception, because the road itself is the reason many people take it.
Cliffs and open sea
The highway runs beside the Arabian Sea for long stretches, which you see nothing of at night.
The national park
The road passes through it, along with the mud volcanoes and the Kund Malir coastline.
Arriving late
A daytime run puts you into Gwadar in the evening rather than the morning.
How to decide
Take a daytime service if the journey is part of the trip, and an overnight one if it is not. Eleven hours on a coastal road in daylight is genuinely worth having if you are visiting; eleven hours in the dark is just a long night. If you are travelling for work and want the morning at the far end, the overnight services do exactly that and you lose nothing but the view.

Which is the best bus service from Karachi to Gwadar?
Five operators on one highway, so local knowledge and departure time decide it.
Ali Express
Air conditioned economy at Rs 2,800, the lowest fare, an hour behind the quickest on an eleven hour run.
Baloch Transport
Executive at Rs 3,700 from an operator that works this coast daily rather than visiting it.
Al Saif Bus Service
Business at Rs 3,900, well below Faisal Movers at Rs 4,500 for a similar schedule.
The honest recommendation
Take Baloch Transport executive at about Rs 3,700. On a corridor where services are sparse and conditions matter, an operator with counters along the coast is worth more than a national badge at Rs 800 more. Ring ahead to confirm the departure whichever you choose, and decide first whether you want the coast in daylight or a morning arrival.
