Cheap JR Hokkaido Car Hire Deals at JR Minami-Otaru Station, Otaru

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

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.

If options at the station are limited, check for other rental agencies nearby that might offer better deals.

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.

Before traveling, familiarize yourself with local driving laws and regulations. This can help you avoid fines and ensure a safe driving experience.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

If you don’t find what you need at JR Minami-Otaru Station with JR Hokkaido, you might discover more car hire options in Otaru, which can occasionally be cheaper. However, keep in mind that the additional cost of transferring from Airport to Otaru might result in higher overall expenses compared to picking up your rental car directly at the airport.

Ask about potential extra costs, such as fees for insurance or airport charges, to plan your budget wisely.
