Question 4

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 5

The station often provides a variety of larger vehicles as well, such as people carriers, 7-seaters, 8-seaters, 9-seaters, and 10-seaters. Additionally, you can conveniently reserve your car online and pick it up directly from the station, streamlining the car hire process. The station’s location typically offers efficient service, avoiding the complexities often associated with airport rentals.

Question 6

What is the cheapest car to rent in Hakodate?

Accepted Answer

The most affordable car to hire in Hakodate is a Mini (Nissan Dayz), with the latest price we found at KES 9,326 per day.

Question 7

Is renting a car for a week in Hakodate more cost-effective?

Accepted Answer

Renting a car for a week in Hakodate can sometimes be more cost-effective than renting for a shorter period, as many car hire companies offer weekly rates that provide better value. To ensure you get the best deal, it’s advisable to compare rates and check for any available discounts or promotions during the booking process. Always review the pricing details carefully before finalizing your reservation.

Question 8

Can another person drive my rental vehicle?

Accepted Answer

There may be an extra fee for adding additional drivers, and they must meet the same age and driving licence requirements as the primary driver. Check with the car hire company for specific terms and conditions.

Be sure to review any additional documentation or requirements specific to the car hire location.

Question 11

What should I do if I damage a car hire car in Hakodate?

Accepted Answer

To avoid additional expenses, make sure your insurance policy includes zero excess coverage.
