It depends on the number of passengers and the amount of luggage each person is carrying. However, the following factors to think about before vacationing in Bhutan:

Size: Our major suggestion is to choose a car that is not excessively wide. There are some tiny streets when you are driving through old towns or historical villages. It will be less stressful in a narrower automobile. Audi A1 is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Bhutan. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 14$.

Power: Any size car will be able to travel the entire country. However, if you choose an engine that is not the smallest, it will be more comfortable in the highlands.

When going on vacation, renting a car in Bhutan gives you the freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want, and on your own schedule. Because of this, it is virtually always a smart decision to get behind the wheel.It is always beneficial to have the freedom to travel during times that are less likely to be crowded on public transportation, such as early in the morning or late at night, should you find that to be more convenient.

General insurance categories in Bhutan:

  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) - It limits the customer's liability throughout the rental time and sets the maximum damage payment.
  • Theft Protection (TP): Reduces your obligation to the vehicle's deductible/excess if your car is stolen (proof required are a police report and the car keys).
  • Third Party Liability (TPL) covers material and intangible losses to other people's vehicles, property, and medical expenditures.

When it comes to car rental costs, Bhutan is generally competitive. The price normally depends on several factors, including the time of year, the length of your trip, and the sort of vehicle you wish to rent.
There is always an increase in demand for automobile rentals in Bhutan during the summer months, which drives up the prices. During the off-season, particularly the winter, the prices are significantly lower. The duration of your rental also affects the total price. Typically, renting a vehicle for a longer period of time results in a lower daily rate, thus a five-day rental may cost only somewhat more than a three-day rental. If possible, consider spending at least a week exploring Bhutan.
