Cheap NIPPON Car Hire Deals at Shimanoseki Station, Ōtsu

Bring along your driver's license, ID, and credit card, as these are required for the rental.

We recommend that in order to have access to the best deals when considering hiring a car at Shimanoseki Station you should pre-book online up to 4 - 5 weeks in advance.

Ask about potential extra costs, such as fees for insurance or airport charges, to plan your budget wisely.

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.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

To save on refueling costs when departing from Shimanoseki Station, look for deals with a 'full to full' tank fuel policy, or even better, a free tank fuel policy, as opposed to a 'half-full to full' one.

If you don’t find what you need at Shimanoseki Station with NIPPON, you might discover more car hire options in Ōtsu, which can occasionally be cheaper. However, keep in mind that the additional cost of transferring from Airport to Ōtsu might result in higher overall expenses compared to picking up your rental car directly at the airport.
