Cheap Nippon Rent A Car Car Hire in Kyoto

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

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.

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.

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.

Some zones may have driving limitations; make sure you’re aware of them.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.
