Question 4

Is it worth hiring a car at JR Shinkawa Station

Accepted Answer

Hiring a car at JR Shinkawa Station can be worthwhile depending on your travel needs and preferences. If you plan to visit areas outside the city or value the flexibility of having your own transportation, hiring a car might be advantageous. However, it’s important to consider factors like cost, traffic conditions, and the availability of public transportation. In some locations, using public transit or ride-sharing services could be more convenient and economical. Additionally, review local driving laws and ensure you're comfortable with the driving conditions before deciding to hire a car.

Question 5

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.
