Vehicle insurance (comes with every listed vehicle)
- 1Every listed vehicle must carry valid insurance — at least third-party cover as required by Nepalese law, preferably comprehensive.
- 2Third-party cover pays for injury or damage to other people and their property, not for damage to the rented vehicle.
- 3Damage the owner's insurance doesn't cover is handled under your rental agreement, using your security deposit first.
Deposit and damage handling
- 1Your security deposit is held by Travel Nest, not the owner, and released after the return inspection.
- 2Travel Nest handles all damage and accident communication and contacts you before any deduction.
- 3Optional protection plans will be offered at checkout once we partner with a licensed insurer.
What's never covered
- 1Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- 2Driving outside Nepal without written approval
- 3Intentional damage
- 4Drivers not registered on the booking
