Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Naha Airport (OKA)?
Europcar and Hertz are just a short drive from Naha Airport (OKA). After landing, it won't be long before you're on the road.
What happens if I need to cancel my Okinawa car reservation?
There are always times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we give your money back on the majority of prepaid bookings if you cancel a minimum of six hours in advance of collecting the car. Don't forget to double-check your policy — in some cases it's not an option. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Okinawa?
Most visitors rent economy vehicles in Okinawa. Motorists love them because they're good on gas and affordable. Plus, their smaller size makes them well-suited to cities, where streets are crowded and parking spaces are tight. But economy isn't your only option. Compacts, full-size cars and SUVs are part of our rental range too. Whether you're hanging around Okinawa or headed beyond, we'll have the wheels for you.

Once you've covered all the amazing sights in Okinawa, there's a lot more to discover in the region. Collect the keys to a rental car, throw your bags in the trunk and get on the road. We've come up with some drives we think you'll enjoy:

  • Head off to Tonaki for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Roughly 64 kilometres from Okinawa, it's home to tons of amazing attractions like Tonaki-jima Island.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Okinawa?
Okinawa rules state drivers must be 18 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some choice restrictions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee on top of the usual rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Okinawa?
The essentials are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking with your rental agency to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Okinawa?
In Okinawa, get ready to drive on the left-hand side of the road. This is obviously different from driving in the U.S, so minimize distractions and pay extra attention while you're out on the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Okinawa?
Yes, and the wonderful news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Okinawa and hit the road with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find an Okinawa car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies located in Okinawa. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
