We landed at midnight and our driver was already holding a sign with our name. The SUV was spotless and the mountain roads to Pokhara felt completely safe.

Our NGO rents four vehicles a month from Smart Drive Nepal. Invoicing is clean, vehicles are always ready, and their support team never disappears.

Self-driving through the Kathmandu Valley sounded intimidating, but the process was simple and the car handled the hills beautifully. Would rent again.
