Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Japan car reservation?
Subject to your rental policy, you may be eligible for a refund. Many prepaid rentals provide a total refund if cancelled a minimum of six hours prior to collection. Need more info? If you can't find the answer in your itinerary, our Customer Service Portal is always here.
What types of cars can I rent in Japan?
Ease of parking, affordability and terrific mileage are just some of the reasons compact cars are the preference in Japan. Their small size makes them ideal for getting around the city. They're a great fit for couples, solo adventurers and budget-conscious families. Of course, how you get around is your call! Go even smaller with a mini or economy, or get more legroom with an intermediate or a full-size. Need a little luxury? You'll like our premium options.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Japan with Expedia?
Finding an awesome deal on your Japan rental car is a piece of cake with Expedia. Choose your preferred car class, add some details and compare prices from top suppliers. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You'll score even more savings when you create a holiday package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Japan?
You need to be 18 and over to jump behind the wheel of a rental vehicle in Japan. Be aware that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for larger vehicles like premium SUVs. Many providers will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read the rules carefully before hitting the book button and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Japan?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Rules may differ between providers, so have a thorough read of your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Japan?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then choose your perfect ride. Whether you're basing yourself in Japan or exploring beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an amazing rate.
Where can I find a Japan car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Managed to find a Japan supplier that does rent to under 25s? Awesome! Just be aware that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
