Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Nagano car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility while travelling is important. That's why the majority of prepaid rentals offer a full refund if you notify us six hours in advance of the collection time. You may want to read your rental agreement though because there are some exclusions. If you can't see any details there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Nagano?
Rental car rules in Nagano require drivers to be at least 18. Are you a younger driver? Surcharges and restrictions could apply. Rental companies impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions usually apply to the sorts of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may differ between suppliers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Nagano?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Nagano, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you choose not to take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of your own coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Nagano?
Unlike the United States, motorists in Nagano drive on the left. Having the steering wheel and some other controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a few moments to familiarise yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before driving off.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Nagano?
Yes, and the terrific news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Explore our long-term car rental deals in Nagano and score an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Nagano car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a rental in Nagano, we recommend reading the policies of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what to expect.
