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.

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.

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).
