Car Hire in Kita, Tokyo, Japan

Before finalizing your reservation, check for any promotional offers or discounts. Many rental agencies provide seasonal deals or early bird rates.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Tokyo, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

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.

Before you drive away, inspect the rental car for existing damage and ensure it is recorded. Taking photos can help prevent disputes upon return.

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.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy requires returning the vehicle with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' requires it to be returned at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is generally more economical.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

Before driving away from Kita , thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.
