What do you need to rent a car in Takayama?
The main things are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional.

What side of the road do you drive on in Takayama?
In Takayama and across Japan, motorists drive on the left. This can be daunting enough, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. For a smooth and safe journey, take things slower and allow extra time to get from A to B.

Where can I find a Takayama car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Takayama holiday home providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It’s better to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
