Book Cheap JR Rent-A-Car East Car Hire Deals in Kawanakajimamachihara, Nagano, Japan

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

Before renting, check if your personal auto insurance extends to rental cars. Many policies and credit cards offer rental coverage, helping you save on insurance costs.

To evade additional charges, return the rental car on schedule. Familiarize yourself with the agreed return time to prevent any surprises.

If you plan to drive off-road, confirm with the rental agency whether it's permitted. Not all vehicles are suited for off-road conditions.

When selecting insurance, consider if it includes free excess coverage. This means you won’t have to pay a deductible in the event of damage, adding an extra layer of security.

If you’re sharing driving duties, check the policies on additional drivers. Some companies charge extra fees, while others may allow it for free under certain conditions.

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

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.
