Question 2

Can I hire a car at JR Higashi-Himeji Station for a month?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can hire a car for a month at JR Higashi-Himeji Station. To arrange a long-term hire, simply enter your desired dates and search for available vehicles. Many car hire companies offer competitive rates for extended rentals, so you may also want to inquire about any special monthly car hire deals or discounts. For the best experience, book in advance and confirm the availability and terms with the car hire agency.

Question 3

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 4

What should I do if I damage a hire car at JR Higashi-Himeji Station?

Accepted Answer

If you damage a hire car at JR Higashi-Himeji Station, the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) typically covers the cost of repairs. To avoid additional expenses, make sure your insurance policy includes zero excess coverage. If your CDW has an excess limit, you'll be responsible for paying part of the repair costs, which is usually deducted from the deposit you provided when hiring the car. For specific details on coverage and potential charges, it's best to check your rental agreement and insurance policy before you drive.

Question 5

Question 6

Is it necessary to buy additional insurance when hiring a car at JR Higashi-Himeji Station?

Accepted Answer

When hiring a car at JR Higashi-Himeji Station, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your rental may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international rentals for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers rental insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the rental counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

Question 7

Insurance options typically include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Theft Protection, and Third-Party Liability, each with different price points. The amount of excess (the portion you must pay in the event of damage or theft) you choose will also impact the insurance cost. Some providers offer zero-excess insurance for greater peace of mind, but this option generally comes at a higher price.
