Cheap National Car Hire in Toyama

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

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Toyama by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like National typically 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.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

Before concluding your car hire in Toyama, confirm the exact drop-off location with National. This will save you time and help avoid any confusion at the end of your rental period.
