Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Shimotono car reservation?
No need to worry. You should be eligible for all of your money back if you notify us a minimum of six hours before picking up the car. Your itinerary contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings will receive a refund though, so you may want to scan the cancellation policy.

Whatever meets your needs! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or level up to a premium if you're chasing sophistication.

Affordable and with great mileage, they're perfect for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a great deal of room. They're especially suited to city exploring. Slipping into tight parking spots will be a piece of cake!
