Question 1

Is it more cost-effective to hire a car for a week at Shin-Kobe Station?

Accepted Answer

Hiring a car for a week at Shin-Kobe Station can sometimes be more cost-effective than hiring for a shorter period, as many car hire companies offer weekly rates that provide better value. To ensure you get the best deal, it’s advisable to compare rates and check for any available discounts or promotions during the booking process. Always review the pricing details carefully before finalizing your reservation.

Question 2

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 3

Can I use a debit card to hire a car at Shin-Kobe Station?

Accepted Answer

Debit cards are accepted by many international car hire companies, but policies can vary by supplier and location. At Shin-Kobe Station, acceptance of debit cards depends on the specific hire agency's terms and conditions. Generally, you may need to provide additional documentation or undergo a credit check if using a debit card. To confirm whether your debit card will be accepted and to understand any additional requirements, check the terms on the booking website or contact the hire company directly before making your reservation.

Question 4

Is it necessary to buy additional insurance when hiring a car at Shin-Kobe Station?

Accepted Answer
