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.
