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.
  • Book your car hire in Nepal at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Nepal are around 4% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What is driving like in Nepal?

    When driving your car rental from the car rentals in Nepal, please remember the following. First, unlike most countries, including the United States and Canada, where drivers are encouraged to keep driving to the right unless overtaking, Nepal has adopted the Japanese driving style, where driving is on the left side. The driver's seat is positioned on your car's right side. Most Nepal roads feature warning signs, speed limit signs, and checkpoints ahead signs. Also note that livestock like ducks, goats, and cows can cross unguided anytime in Nepal. These animals are usually given the right of way.

  • How old do you have to be to rent a car in Nepal?

    If you intend to rent a car from any of the Nepal car rentals for your movement convenience and flexibility, please note that most of the car rentals in Nepal have adopted different minimum age limits for different types or classes of cars. For instance, for you to rent a heavy vehicle class of cars, including tour buses, you will be expected to have attained at least 21 years of age limit. On the other hand, an 18-year-old can be allowed to rent vehicles classified under light vehicles, such as medium cars.

  • How are gas prices in Nepal?

    In Nepal, a gallon of gas goes for about 686 NPR (Nepalese Rupees) (6.00 USD). A liter of gas in Nepal costs about 196 NPR (1.50 USD). Most of the gas stations in Nepal are situated near towns, city centers, or suburbs. If you are to explore the rural parts of Nepal, kindly consider refilling enough for your route.

  • What are the speed limits in Nepal?

    Try to observe the following speed limit guidelines to avoid violating Nepal's traffic rules and regulations when driving your rented car from Nepal car rentals. First, observe a 40 km/h (25 mph) maximum speed limit when driving in urban areas. Second, 80 km/h (50 mph) is recommended when driving in rural areas. Lastly, maintain a 25 km/h (16 mph) speed limit when driving through residential areas and schools.
