Car rental in Naypyidaw

Officially designated as the capital of Myanmar in 2006, Naypyidaw, or the "abode of kings," is an extraordinary city. With wide-open roads designed to accommodate up to 20 lanes and modern public buildings, Naypyidaw is a surprising blend of vastness and grandeur in the heart of Myanmar.

Getting Around

The city's noticeably empty roads make driving by rental car the most convenient and efficient way to explore the space.

Car Class Recommendations

A standard sedan car is sufficient for navigating Naypyidaw's impeccably smooth roads.

Parking and Traffic Rules

With ample free public parking and little traffic, parking will be a breeze. Do remember that driving is on the right side of the road here.

Attractions

A visit to Naypyidaw is incomplete without stopping by the Uppatasanti Pagoda, a near replica of the famous Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon. Don't miss out on the grandeur of the Presidential Palace and the impressive National Museum either!

Neighborhoods and Surrounding Cities

Stretching over four major townships, Naypyidaw offers a contrast between grand public buildings and simpler residential areas. A short drive away, you can visit the Thapye Chaung Market, a local hub bustling with life contrasting the elsewhere quiet city.

Climate

Naypyidaw's climate can be described as tropical monsoon, with the driest period between November and April, making it an ideal time to visit.

Money and Currency

The local currency is the Burmese Kyat (MMK). ATMs are widely available. However, it's always handy to have some cash, especially while traveling outside the city.

Seasonal Events

Visit Naypyidaw in April to experience the water-soaked festivities of Thingyan, the Burmese New Year. The city also hosts a grand Armed Forces Day Parade every March.

Whatever is on your itinerary, having a rental car at your disposal offers you the flexibility to explore Naypyidaw at your own pace. Start planning your unique adventure today!
