Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Japan car reservation?
Good news! You should be eligible for a complete refund if you advise us at least six hours before collecting the car. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings qualify for a refund though, so it’s a good idea to check your car rental policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Japan?
Ease of parking, affordability and excellent mileage are some of the reasons compact cars are the preference in Japan. Their smaller size makes them perfect for city exploring. They’re a good fit for couples, solo adventurers and families on a budget. Of course, how you cruise around is your call! Go even smaller with an economy or mini, or give yourself more room with a full-size or an intermediate. Chasing a little luxury? Browse our premium rides.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Japan with Expedia?
Getting the best deal on your Japan rental car is a breeze with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add in a few more details and compare the offers from popular brands. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You’ll unlock terrific discounts when you create a vacation package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Japan?
You’ll need to be at least 18 to hop behind the wheel of a rental car in Japan. Bear in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits usually apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Many providers will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules before hitting the book button and factor any extra fees into your vacation budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Japan?
A current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you’re also likely to need proof of other coverage. The requirements may differ from rental company to rental company, so read through your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Japan?
Expedia makes it a snap to book a reliable long-term car rental in Japan. Just visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and compare the offers.
Where can I find a Japan car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Japan, we recommend checking the policies of the various rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any unwanted surprises on pickup, make sure you do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Japan?
A thorough insurance plan is a wise choice for your upcoming Japan adventure. That’s why we recommend choosing collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you’re covered for and whether you need it.
