Cheap Times Car Hire in Okinawa

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Some zones may have driving limitations; make sure you’re aware of them.

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

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.
