Car Hire in Higashi-ku, Nagoya, Japan

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

If someone else will drive, confirm the rental company's policy on additional drivers and any fees that may apply. Some might offer complimentary drivers under certain conditions.

If you're traveling with pets, check the rental agency’s pet policy. Some companies allow pets, but additional fees or specific conditions may apply.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

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.

If you’re sharing driving responsibilities, check the regulations regarding additional drivers. Some agencies may charge extra fees, while others might offer complimentary drivers under certain conditions.

Some rental agencies might offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be aware of the conditions, such as how much fuel to return with to avoid extra charges.
