Self Drive Car Rental in Kathmandu, Nepal

Freedom to drive. No driver. No pressure.

If you like moving at your own pace, stopping where you want, and not explaining your plans to anyone—self drive car rental in Kathmandu is for you.

At RentKTM, we make self-drive simple, legal, and reliable. No unnecessary drama, no hidden rules, no last-minute surprises. Just a clean car, clear pricing, and the freedom to explore Nepal your way.


Why Choose Self Drive Instead of a Car With Driver?

Because sometimes you don’t want to be a passenger.

Self drive is ideal if:

  • You want privacy and full control of your trip

  • You’re planning road trips outside Kathmandu

  • You want to explore Pokhara, Chitwan, Nagarkot, Bandipur, or just drive around the valley

  • You’re in Nepal for work, long stay, or visiting family

  • You simply enjoy driving

No awkward conversations. No fixed schedules. Just you, the road, and your playlist.


Our Self Drive Car Options

We offer well-maintained cars suitable for Nepal’s roads—city driving, highways, and light off-road routes.

Available options include:

  • Compact hatchbacks (fuel-efficient, easy in city traffic)

  • Sedans (comfortable for longer drives)

  • SUVs (better ground clearance for rough roads and hills)

All vehicles are:

  • Regularly serviced

  • Clean inside and out

  • Road-legal with proper documents

  • Checked before every handover

If we wouldn’t drive it ourselves, we won’t rent it.


Simple Pricing. No Hidden Games.

We keep pricing straightforward because nobody likes surprises at checkout.

  • Daily, weekly, and monthly rates available

  • Clear fuel policy

  • Security deposit explained upfront

  • No hidden kilometer charges (unless stated clearly)

What you see is what you pay. If something costs extra, we tell you before—not after.


Who Can Rent a Self Drive Car?

If you meet these basics, you’re good to go:

  • Valid driving license (Nepali or international)

  • Passport or government ID

  • Security deposit

  • Minimum driving experience (depends on vehicle)

That’s it. No long forms. No unnecessary lectures.
