Cheap Car Hire at Hakuraku Station

Consider downloading offline maps or carrying a backup GPS in case the station's network signal is poor.

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

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.

Select a pickup time based on your flight arrival to avoid inconvenience due to delays.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Most suppliers offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

Make sure to carry a valid driver's license, identification, and credit card for rental requirements.

Before heading to the station, make sure to check the rental company's opening hours to avoid arriving when they are closed.

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.
