Foreign nationals need a valid IDP (issued in your home country) plus your original national driving licence. The IDP must match the vehicle category — car, SUV, or motorcycle.
If you hold a Nepali driving licence, that is all you need. Expatriates resident in Nepal typically convert their home licence at the DOTM office in Kathmandu.
Minimum age 21. We strongly recommend at least 3 years of driving experience for Kathmandu city and 5+ years for mountain or off-road routes.
Third-party insurance is included in all self drive rentals. A refundable security deposit is required at vehicle handover. Damage waiver options available.
Traffic in Nepal follows left-hand driving rules. Kathmandu city driving can be chaotic — busy intersections, narrow lanes, and unpredictable motorcycles. Plan for it.
You receive the vehicle with a full tank and return it full. Nepal Petrol Corporation runs most pumps. Diesel is readily available in Kathmandu; premium petrol at major stations.
WhatsApp us your dates and preferred vehicle — we confirm availability and send the rental terms.
