Car Rental Thamel

Thamel has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Book a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what else awaits in the wider region. Here are a few places to choose from:

• Pokhara is about 90 miles from Thamel. Notable attractions like Phewa Lake deserve to be high on your list here.
• Your next stop? Make it Janakpur, which is around 80 miles away. Janaki Mandir is one local draw card you won't want to miss.
• Venture into the great outdoors and appreciate the serenity at Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve. It's approximately 130 miles from Thamel.

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Nepal, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
