Car Hire in Motofuchumachi, Nanao, Japan

If you're traveling with pets, check the rental agency’s pet policy. Some companies allow pets, but additional fees or specific conditions may apply.

Select a pickup location that's convenient for you. Many rental firms have desks at airports for quick access, while others might require a shuttle service.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

Most rental companies prefer credit cards and might have limitations on debit card usage. Always check the accepted payment methods prior to booking.

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Inquire with the rental service about any local driving risks or specific road conditions. Being informed can help you navigate potential challenges during your journey.

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.
