Top tips for hiring a car in Nepal

  • To gain movement flexibility during your visit to Nepal, you may consider renting a car from car rentals in Nepal. Compared to Nepal's public means of transport, such as taxis, buses, and Rikshaws, which comply with the fixed schedules and routes, your rented car from Nepal car rentals will enable you to traverse various regions of Nepal in your route and schedule. Your rented car will easily drive to parts of Nepal that are underserved by public transport, such as the hilly areas of the Himalayan Mountain Region and the Terai. These regions are, however, the best for a nature walk.
  • Some parts of Nepal experience snowfalls. The worst affected regions during the winter season are; the Annapurna region, Everest region, and Mustang district. If you are driving your rented car from Nepal car rentals to these regions, remember to request your car rental agency to fit your car with either wintertime tires or snow chains.
  • Several driving conditions in Nepal are unique, giving first-time road users some challenges and memorable experiences. For instance, overlapping and instant stopping without prior notice is common among Nepal drivers, especially during rush hour traffic jams. The Downtown Street roads also experience jaywalking. To protect yourself and others using Nepal roads, you must be on high alert when driving your rented car from the car rentals in Nepal.
  • To ensure your kid's safety in your rented car from the car rentals in Nepal, please remember to adhere to the following guidelines. First, children under six months should be fastened in the rear that faces the child restraint. Second, children under 12 months should be fastened in rear-facing child restraint with the built-in harness. Children between 4 and 7 years are secured in a forward-facing child restraint with a built-in harness or a booster seat.
  • Small rental cars in Nepal are around 25% cheaper than other car types, on average
