KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Kathmandu

  • Car rentals in Kathmandu will give you more flexible and convenient transport options. Among the sights you may see while in Kathmandu with a rental car is Amideva Buddha Park. Despite the city's efficient public transportation system, which is far less expensive, hiring a car gives you all the flexibility you could ever want. In contrast to public transportation, which follows set departure times and routes, renting a car allows you to choose your own journey time and the best routes to take to get where you're going.
  • Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) is one of the greatest places to pick up car rentals in Kathmandu. Major Kathmandu car rental companies such as Europcar, Hertz, and Enterprise have their rental counters housed in the car rental facility located adjacent to the baggage claim area. You can avoid the annoyance of longer lines at the numerous airport shuttle and bus stops if you are arriving at the airport and want to connect to Kathmandu city center or any other destination. Renters at KTM are more likely to acquire their specific car model than at other car rental places. This is due to the fact that compared to other car rental locations, this airport location offers the greatest fleets of vehicles from Kathmandu car rental providers.
  • When driving in Kathmandu, keep in mind that it's usual for motorists to disregard several fundamental traffic laws, particularly those governing the right of way and lane discipline. Drivers frequently enter junctions without regard for the potential obstruction they may cause, especially those operating huge trucks. It is usual for cars to switch lanes without signaling on highways with several lanes. Therefore, be cautious of other drivers while you drive your rental car through the city, and don't assume they'll obey the rules of the road.
  • Although the use of car rentals in Kathmandu is typically a fun experience, there are a few challenges you'll run across. During the morning and evening rush hours, which are often from 6:30 am to 9:30 am and later from 4:30 pm to 7 pm, you may find it challenging to drive in the city. Most of Kathmandu's roadways endure considerable traffic during these periods, with New Road being the worst affected.
  • Intermediate rental cars in Kathmandu are around 7% cheaper than other car types, on average

    KAYAK searches thousands of car rental agencies to provide you with offers from all car rental agencies operating in Kathmandu so that you can compare car rental rates, reviews and pick-up and drop-off locations to find the best deal for you.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Kathmandu?

    The car type you should rent, however, mostly depends on how many people will be going with you and how much luggage you will have. An Economy car type will be the ideal choice for you if you are traveling alone and only have one bag. On the other hand, you require a vehicle with a greater carrying capacity if you are traveling with family or coworkers. Compact SUV, Intermediate, or Minivan are all appropriate choices in these circumstances.

  • What’s the speed limit in Kathmandu?

    Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit for cars in Kathmandu is 50km/h (30 mph). On major highways, especially those with four or more lanes, the speed limit can go as high as 110km/h (70 mph). However, drivers shouldn't exceed 30km/h (20 mph) when passing through residential neighborhoods and school zones. As a result, driving in Kathmandu requires you to adhere to various speed limits depending on the zone you are in or the specific roads you are driving on.

  • Where are the best places to park in Kathmandu?

    Along Kathmandu's streets, parking your car is both convenient and affordable. Any street in the city will cost you ₨ 130 ($1) to park your car from 8 am to 9:30 pm. You can park your car for free on any Kathmandu street on Sundays and public holidays. A reasonable alternative to the streets is hotel parking. This might only apply to people staying at one of the Kathmandu hotels that provide free parking, though.
