Yes, another person can drive your hire vehicle, but they must be listed as an additional driver on your hire agreement.

To ensure coverage and avoid potential issues, make sure to register any additional drivers with the car hire company.

Question 7

The amount of excess (the portion you must pay in the event of damage or theft) you choose will also impact the insurance cost. Some providers offer zero-excess insurance for greater peace of mind, but this option generally comes at a higher price. To find the best coverage for your needs and budget, it's advisable to compare different insurance options and rates available on various booking sites before finalizing your hire.

When hiring a car at JR Akihabara Station, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your rental may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international rentals for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers rental insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. 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.
