Question 1

Should I get insurance when renting a car in Sapporo?

You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the rental counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

Question 5

A one-way fee is applied when you return your hire car to a different location than where you originally picked it up. This fee helps cover the cost of relocating the vehicle back to its starting point. The amount of the one-way fee varies depending on the locations involved and the hire company's policies. Be sure to check the fee details when booking your hire to understand any additional charges that may apply.

Question 6

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 7

Can I use a debit card to rent a car in Sapporo?

Accepted Answer

Using a debit card to rent a car in Sapporo is sometimes possible, but policies vary by rental company. Many suppliers require a credit card, such as Visa, MasterCard, or American Express, for the deposit and reservation. If you only have a debit card, check with the rental provider beforehand or use our website, VoyageCopilot.com, to find car hire options that accept debit cards.

Accepted Answer

To return a car in Sapporo station, ensure that the vehicle is in the same condition as when you rented it and that the fuel tank is full. Follow the signs to the designated return area at the car hire location. If you need to return the vehicle outside of regular business hours, look for any instructions or an after-hours drop-off box at the return area. It’s a good idea to confirm with the car hire company beforehand about their off-hour procedures to ensure a smooth return process. Be sure to complete any required paperwork or check-in steps as instructed.

Question 11

Accepted Answer
