Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Japan car reservation?
Check over the rental policy to be sure, but nearly all prepaid reservations qualify for a total refund if you notify us more than six hours before the pickup time. There are some exemptions though. Your itinerary will have more information, or just jump onto our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Japan?
Affordability, ease of parking and great mileage are just a few reasons compact vehicles are the top pick in Japan. Their small size makes them ideal for city driving. They’re a great fit for couples, solo travelers and families on a budget. Of course, how you get around is up to you! Go even smaller with a mini or economy, or give yourself more room with an intermediate or a full-size. In need of some luxury? You’ll like our premium options.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Japan with Expedia?
Check out ratings and reviews, choose your favorite ride and compare prices from the most popular brands. Expedia makes it easy to score the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Japan car rental with hotel or flight bookings and cruise off with even greater savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Japan?
Drivers need to be at least 18. But there are several age-related requirements you should know about before booking your Japan wheels. If you’re a young motorist, most rental outlets will charge an additional daily fee and limit the sorts of cars you can rent. The surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between outlets. Be sure to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Japan?
Before you can get behind the wheel in Japan, you’ll need a driver’s license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you prefer not to take out the rental company’s insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Rules may vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Japan?
You can rent a car for a month or even longer in Japan, so don’t hestitate to extend that vacation! Simply enter your trip dates into our long-term car rental deals page and reserve your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Japan car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver hoping to book a rental in Japan, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unwanted surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
