Car Hire in Iwaki, Japan

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.

Many car hire deals in Iwaki require a credit card for the deposit. If you only have a debit card, use our website's filter to find options that accommodate it or consider getting a credit card. Make sure the main driver’s card is used to prevent any extra charges.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

For short trips, car-sharing services may be more economical and flexible.

Renting outside busy areas can reduce costs and parking challenges.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Iwaki, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70
