Enter your pickup location and destination to see fare and vehicle options. Confirm your ride and track the driver's approach on the map.

Important Notice: Motorbike-taxi rides are often faster than cars during Kathmandu's frequent traffic congestion, though they carry the usual road safety considerations of two-wheeled transport.

A ride-hailing app operating in Kathmandu with a distinctive negotiated-fare model. About inDrive: inDrive is a ride-hailing app operating in Kathmandu with a unique feature: instead of an app-set fixed fare, riders propose a price and nearby drivers can accept, counter-offer or decline, giving both sides negotiating room. Key Features: Negotiated Fares: Propose your own fare and have drivers respond, rather than accepting a single app-calculated price. Driver Choice: See multiple driver offers and choose based on price, rating or vehicle type. Wide City Coverage: Operates across Kathmandu with an active local driver base. Cash and Digital Payment: Supports both payment methods depending on driver and settings. How to Get Started: Download the inDrive app and create an account with a phone number. Enter your pickup location and destination, then propose your fare. Review driver responses and select one to confirm the ride. Pay by cash or digital method at the end of the trip depending on your settings. Important Notice: The negotiation model means fares can vary trip to trip based on demand and driver responses — it's worth proposing a fair, realistic price rather than an unrealistically low one to get quicker driver acceptance.
