When you visit Japan, you want to see every bit of landscape and culture at your fingertips. Yes, there is plenty to do and see in this part of the world, but public transportation can only get you so far. To see some of the most hidden gems, your own set of wheels will come in handy. Japan car hire makes it possible to see the area on your own schedule with ease. If you hear about a restaurant tucked away at the edge of your favourite neighbourhood, it’s no problem. When you want to see a late night show or early morning sunrise off the beaten path, your car makes that possible too. Cheap car hire in Japan allows you to set your ideal itinerary without paying a fortune. Book incredible Japan car rental deals right here on Expedia.com.au today. Whether you want a vehicle outfitted with luxury amenities, or a hybrid car with impressive gas mileage, you can find the perfect set of wheels on Expedia.

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.
