How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shirahama?
In Shirahama, the requirement is 18 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. Remember to read the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Shirahama?
Most of the time, all you'll need is a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements may differ between providers, so remember to check before you book.
What side of the road do you drive on in Shirahama?
Unlike the States, people in Shirahama drive on the left-hand side of the road. Having the driver's seat and some other controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Spend some time familiarising yourself with the car before hitting the road.

Yes. We partner with quality providers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for a wide range of cars. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every inch of Shirahama — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Shirahama car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies operating in Shirahama. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, be aware that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your rental car.
