Always verify the specific age requirements and potential surcharges with the rental company, as these can differ significantly by provider and location.

If you damage a hire car in Ichikawa, the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) typically covers the cost of repairs. To avoid additional expenses, make sure your insurance policy includes zero excess coverage.
