Car and bike rental in Kathmandu

Cars, SUVs, jeeps, Hiace vans, motorbikes and scooters for rent in Kathmandu, from Thamel to the airport and across the valley. Self-drive or with a driver, priced for your exact dates.

Renting a vehicle in Kathmandu

Kathmandu has the most rental businesses in Nepal, so you can compare prices and models. A self-drive car usually costs NPR 4,000–6,000 a day, a scooter from about NPR 1,100, and a car with a driver about NPR 5,000–6,000 a day inside the valley. Some businesses charge a little more for trips outside the valley.

Valley traffic is slow at rush hour, and parking near Thamel and Durbar Square is tight. A scooter is the quickest way around the city; a car or SUV makes more sense for day trips and the highway.
