What types of cars can I rent in Japan?
Inexpensive, zippy and good on mileage, it’s no wonder compact cars are the most popular type of hire in Japan. Drive around this city in one of these and you’ll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city adventures or quick road trips. But they’re not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

Drivers have to be at least 18. But there are some age-related requirements you should bear in mind before you book your Japan wheels.

The exact surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between suppliers. Take a moment to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Japan?
You’ll need to present your driver’s license and a credit card at the hire counter. Prior to pick-up, check with your selected company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
