FAQ

Car car rental questions

How much does car rental cost in Kathmandu?
Full day city hire (8 hrs) in a Toyota Corolla is 40 USD including driver, fuel, and parking. Airport pickup or drop is 20 USD. Long routes start from 55 USD/day (Chitwan) or 60 USD/day (Pokhara).
Is a car suitable for mountain roads in Nepal?
A car handles paved mountain roads (Nagarkot, Dhulikhel, Nuwakot) fine. For unpaved tracks, high altitude, or 4WD terrain, upgrade to a Scorpio SUV. If you are going to Muktinath, Tsum Valley, or remote trekking trailheads, a 4WD is essential.
How many passengers can a car carry?
Up to 4 passengers with 2–3 medium suitcases. For 5–6 people, choose a Mahindra Scorpio. For groups of 7–10, the Toyota Hiace van is the right vehicle.
