Cheap JR Hokkaido Car Hire in Obihiro

Renting away from bustling areas can lower costs and ease parking difficulties.

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Obihiro by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like JR Hokkaido typically 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.

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.

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.

Knowing where to park can save you both time and money; check for fees and space.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Obihiro, 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.
