Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Echizen car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when plans change. That's why we give your money back on most prepaid reservations if you advise us six hours prior to the scheduled collection time. Be sure to double-check your cancellation policy — sometimes it's not an option. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.

They're especially suited to driving around cities. Squeezing into tight parking spots will be a piece of cake!

How do I find the best car rental deals in Echizen with Expedia?
Check reviews and ratings, choose your preferred ride and compare offers from leading brands. Expedia makes it easy to find the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Echizen car rental with hotel or flight bookings and start your road trip with even greater savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Echizen?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 18 and above can rent a car in Echizen. While some providers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 18, you can expect extra fees. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before locking in your ride. Outlets also restrict the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Echizen?
Most rental companies will need these two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Echizen?
In Echizen, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side. This alone can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. For a safe journey, take things slower and leave yourself some extra time to get to your next stop.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Echizen?
Expedia makes it a snap to score an affordable long-term rental in Echizen. Simply click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and browse your options.
Where can I find an Echizen car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Found an Echizen supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Great news! Just keep in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in should have all the information you need.
