Cheap Times Car Hire in Okinawa

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.

If you are travelling to Okinawa and considering hiring a car, choosing an in-terminal car hire supplier can save you time and hassle. Suppliers like Times have locations right at the airport, allowing you to avoid shuttle buses or meet-and-greet services and ensuring a quicker and more convenient pickup.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Steer clear of peak traffic times to minimize delays and frustration.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

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.

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