Cheap Car Hire at JR Otsu Station

Ask about the specific steps for picking up and returning your car to ensure a smooth rental experience.

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.

If the station's selection is limited, consider nearby rental companies that may offer better prices or available models.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

If you don’t find the right car hire at JR Otsu Station, there may be more options in Ōtsu city, which can sometimes be more affordable. However, remember to factor in the additional cost of transportation from the airport to the city, which could offset any savings.

If you are travelling to Ōtsu and considering hiring a car, choosing an in-terminal car hire supplier can save you time and hassle. Find suppliers with locations right at the airport, allowing you to avoid shuttle buses or meet-and-greet services and ensuring a quicker and more convenient pickup.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Most suppliers offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

Some rental agreements come with mileage limits, while others offer unlimited mileage. Make sure to review the mileage policy to avoid unexpected fees.
