Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

Before your journey, browse online to see what cars are currently available to find your preferred model.

To save on refueling costs when departing from JR Kyoto Station, look for deals with a 'full to full' tank fuel policy, or even better, a free tank fuel policy, as opposed to a 'half-full to full' one.

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.

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.
