Car Hire in Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama, Japan

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.

Before leaving the rental location, check that the vehicle is stocked with essential emergency supplies such as a spare tire, jack, and first aid kit.

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

Opt for car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these usually reflect better service, newer vehicles, and more convenient pickup locations. At Kanagawa-ku, we have deals from suppliers. Among them, Enterprise boasts a rating of 5, Hertz has a rating of 4.9, and Nissan holds a rating of 4.7.

Utilize GPS devices or navigation apps for easier routing. This can help prevent getting lost and contribute to a smoother travel experience.

If you're looking for extra comfort or features, ask about upgrade possibilities at the rental desk. Often, there are discounted upgrades available at pickup.

Car rental companies usually require a credit card deposit that is temporarily held. Inquire about the deposit amount and its release after returning the vehicle.

If someone else will drive, confirm the rental company's policy on additional drivers and any fees that may apply. Some might offer complimentary drivers under certain conditions.
