There are two most suitable choices for car rental in Kathmandu. You can choose to go with a very small mini-type car, which will allow you to get in and out of narrow places and get past congested roads with ease. A second option is a much safer and sturdier SUV, which will give you more range of view and will come with extra safety features. You might feel safer when attempting the roads of Kathmandu in a bulkier car. Research what options are available to you through KAYAK before you book, and consult your local car rental staff for other driving tips.

It is very difficult to monitor and maintain one speed limit in Kathmandu, as there are varying roads of different sizes. The residents of Kathmandu have their own unique set of road rules that they are familiar with, so use caution until you’ve picked it up. As you need to be very careful with motorbikes and many vehicles of different classes on the road, you should drive slower, to avoid issues.

If you are venturing into the congested inner city of Kathmandu, try asking the locals or your car rental company what areas are recommended for parking. It can be very chaotic and busy, so perhaps rather get public transport or walk into the very busy city limits and leave your car at your hotel.
