Cheap Car Hire at JR Gotemba Station

Before your trip, confirm if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

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.

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

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Most suppliers 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.

If you need to park at the station, check parking facilities and fees in advance for convenience.

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.
