What types of cars can I rent in Tokyo?

Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are other options to consider.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Tokyo?
In Tokyo, the requirement is 18 years of age and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the home location. Home policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require inclusive insurance to be taken out. Be sure to read the fine print carefully before choosing your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Tokyo?
Renting a car in Tokyo is simple. Normally, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. After selecting your ride, read the terms and conditions to ensure there are no additional requirements prior to the pickup date.
What side of the road do you drive on in Tokyo?
In Tokyo, as with all of Japan, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take things slow to build up confidence driving on the opposite side if it’s your first time.

Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then lock in your perfect ride. Whether you’re staying put in Tokyo or venturing beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term home at a fantastic rate.
Where can I find a Tokyo car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver looking for a car rental in Tokyo, it’d be wise to check the terms and conditions of the various car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be surcharges if you’re between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the holiday home counter, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
