Book Cheap National Car Rental Deals in Higashi-ku, Sapporo, Japan

If you plan to have someone else drive, check if the rental company permits a second driver and whether there are extra fees involved. Some may offer free additional drivers under specific conditions.

Before you book, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees, such as airport surcharges, additional driver costs, or penalties for late returns. Awareness helps in budgeting appropriately.

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

Before leaving the rental lot, inspect the vehicle for any pre-existing damage and ensure it’s recorded. Taking photos can help avoid disputes upon return.

If you have a specific vehicle model in mind, consider rentals that guarantee the car type you want. This avoids surprises at pickup when you receive an alternative vehicle.

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.

Ensure your rental agreement, ID, and insurance details are easily accessible throughout your rental period for quick access if needed.

Many rental firms prefer credit cards and may not accept debit cards for payment. If you're using a debit card, confirm the company's policies before making a reservation.
