About the service
Rent a Car in Kathmandu, the Easy Way
Nepal Vehicle Rental provides car rental in Kathmandu for residents, visitors and businesses. Whether it's a day of meetings, a weekend away or a week on the highway, we arrange a clean, regularly serviced hatchback or sedan and an experienced local driver who knows the roads, so you can sit back and enjoy the trip.
Choose an economical hatchback like the Suzuki Swift or Hyundai i20 for two people in city traffic, or a comfortable sedan like the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic or Hyundai Verna when the family and their luggage are coming too. All of them are easy on fuel on the long drives to Pokhara, Chitwan and Lumbini. Heading for rough mountain roads instead? Take a 4x4 jeep or a Scorpio.
Booking takes a few minutes: pick your dates and how you'd like to get the car, from our Kathmandu office, at your hotel or home, or at Tribhuvan International Airport, and we'll confirm the details. Prefer to talk it through? Call us and we'll help you choose.
