Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Akita Airport (AXT)?
Land at Akita Airport (AXT) and then head for Europcar or Hertz, both a short distance away. You'll be exploring Misato in your reliable rental in no time at all.
What happens if I need to cancel my Misato car reservation?
We get that flexibility is important. That's why the majority of prepaid reservations provide a full refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours before picking up the car. It's a good idea to go through the rental agreement though because there are some exemptions. If there's nothing specified there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Misato?
Not too small yet not too big, compact vehicles are the top pick for many visiting motorists in Misato. With terrific gas mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they're well-suited to travelling around the city.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Misato?
Rental vehicle rules in Misato require drivers to be at least 18. Are you a younger driver? Some surcharges and restrictions may apply. Most rental providers impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may differ between providers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Misato?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your rental provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Misato?
If you're renting a vehicle in Misato or planning a road trip around Japan, you'll be driving on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on a different side to what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow to begin with.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Misato?
Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and secure a ride that's all yours for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Misato car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Found a Misato outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just bear in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in should have all the details you need.
