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.
