Question 1

Is a valid passport required for car hire at JR Shimizu Station?

Accepted Answer

For car hire at JR Shimizu Station station, a valid passport is generally required for international customers. Domestic renters typically only need a valid driver’s license. In the United States and Canada, residents usually need just a valid driver’s license to hire a vehicle. In Europe, EU residents can often use their home country driver’s license. However, identification requirements can vary by country and region, so it's always a good idea to check with the car hire company for specific details before you travel.

Question 2

What are the requirements for hiring a car at JR Shimizu Station?

Accepted Answer

To hire a car at JR Shimizu Station, you must meet several key requirements. These include being at least 21 years old, presenting a valid driver’s license, and providing a major credit card (such as Visa, MasterCard, or Discover) for payment and security purposes. Additionally, proof of insurance or the option to purchase insurance coverage from the car hire company may be required. Insurance options can vary by location, so it's important to verify the details with the car hire company ahead of time. Be sure to review any additional documentation or requirements specific to the car hire location.

Question 3

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.
