Surprice Car Rental recently opened operations in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal.
The two locations serve the city’s Tribhuvan International Airport and downtown area, allowing the company to meet the growing demand for reliable rental car services in Nepal.
Kathmandu, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Himalayas at an elevation of 4,500 feet, is a dynamic gateway to Nepal’s ancient cultural heritage, natural wonders, and modern city life.
It is the most populous city in Nepal, with 845,000 residents within the city limits and a total of 4 million when including surrounding areas. Nepal is a landlocked South Asian country located between India and China, home to Mount Everest and the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha.
The Kathmandu operation is fully equipped with dedicated on-the-ground teams, streamlined pick-up and drop-off procedures, and customer-focused service standards aligned with Surprice’s global network.
Travelers can choose from a diverse and modern fleet tailored to the local market needs — from fuel-efficient compact cars ideal for city driving, to comfortable sedans, SUVs designed for varied road conditions, and spacious vans suitable for group travel and family adventures.
Its fleet strategy in Nepal focuses on reliability, versatility, and competitive pricing to meet the expectations of international visitors and domestic customers.
This expansion reflects Surprice’s strategies of expanding across Asia while focusing on high-potential emerging markets rooted in strong local partnerships with potential to grow the customer base.
