Auto Rickshaw Branding in Nepal
Turn auto-rickshaws and e-rickshaws into moving billboards that reach every gully, market and chowk — across 64 of 77 districts, from Rs 6,000 per rickshaw, with GPS-verified installation.
What is auto rickshaw branding?
Auto rickshaw branding (also called auto-rickshaw hood advertising or transit advertising) places your brand on the curved hood cover of an auto-rickshaw or e-rickshaw. As the rickshaw works its daily route, your message travels with it — into residential lanes, local markets and busy chowks that fixed billboards and hoardings can never reach.
At Drive & Thrive, every hood cover is made from durable, weather-resistant Rexene fabric with vibrant digital print, so your campaign stays sharp through Nepal's sun and monsoon for the full contract term. It's the most cost-effective form of outdoor advertising in Nepal measured in impressions per rupee — a single rickshaw can generate thousands of views a day, every day.
How it works — brief to billboard in 4 steps
1. Plan & design
We agree on your districts, fleet size and creative. Our in-house team designs the hood cover; nothing is printed until you approve the artwork.
2. Print & stitch
High-quality digital printing on Rexene, stitched into precision hood covers built to last.
3. Install on the ground
We handle every rickshaw owner and union — installation begins within about 20 days of final design approval.
4. Proof & report
You receive a GPS-stamped photo report of all three sides of each rickshaw, with owner details — verifiable proof your campaign is live.
Why auto rickshaw branding beats a static billboard
A single hoarding sits in one spot and waits for traffic to pass. A 100-rickshaw campaign covers an entire district — every neighbourhood, all day — for a fraction of the cost.
| Auto Rickshaw Branding | Static Billboard | |
|---|---|---|
| Reach | Moves across the whole district | One fixed location |
| Cost | From Rs 6,000 / rickshaw | High monthly rental |
| Targeting | Hyperlocal — markets, lanes, chowks | Highway / main road only |
| Proof | GPS-verified photos of every unit | None |
| Visibility | 24/7, all day on the road | Passive |
