Why Rent a Car with a Driver?

Easier, safer and often cheaper than self-drive

  • Kathmandu traffic is chaotic: narrow lanes, motorbikes and few road signs make self-driving stressful for visitors.
  • No parking or navigation worries: your driver drops you at the gate and waits.
  • Local knowledge: drivers know the quickest routes, the best times to visit sites and where to eat.
  • One price per car: share the cost with your family or group.

Popular Ways to Use a Rental Car

Ideas for your hire

  • UNESCO sightseeing day: Swayambhunath, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pashupatinath and Boudhanath in one day.
  • Ancient cities: Patan and Bhaktapur, with time for lunch and shopping.
  • Nagarkot sunrise or Chandragiri cable car for Himalayan views near the city.
  • Airport runs: pickups and drop-offs at Tribhuvan airport — see airport transfers.
  • Business, shopping and errands with a car waiting between stops.

Car Rental Prices in Kathmandu

What affects the price

  • Hours booked: short rides cost less; hourly and full-day hire give the best value for sightseeing.
  • Vehicle size: small cars for 1–3 passengers; larger vehicles for families and groups on request.
  • Distance: trips outside the valley — to Nagarkot, Dhulikhel or Pokhara — are quoted separately.
  • What’s included: our fixed price includes the driver, fuel, tolls and parking.

See live prices on the private car booking page.

Self-Drive Car Rental in Kathmandu

Is it a good idea?

Self-drive rentals exist in Kathmandu, but you’ll need a licence accepted in Nepal and confidence on narrow, congested roads and steep mountain highways. For most visitors, a car with an experienced local driver is safer, less stressful and often similar in price once fuel and parking are included.

Beyond Kathmandu

Longer trips by private car

  • Kathmandu to Pokhara: about 200 km, usually 6–8 hours.
  • Kathmandu to Chitwan: around 5–6 hours.
  • Nagarkot and Dhulikhel: 1–1.5 hours for mountain views.

Used Axui for a few rides around Kathmandu and was impressed with the service. The driver was polite, knew the roads well, and got us to our destination without any hassle. Great option for getting around the city.

Axui made getting around Kathmandu much easier for us. The pickup was straightforward, the driver was professional, and the vehicle was comfortable. A reliable service that I would recommend to other travellers visiting Nepal.
