Cheap Budget Car Hire in Shizuoka

When hiring a car in Shizuoka, be aware that rentals are charged per day. For instance, Budget charges per day, so if you rent for more than 24 hours, you’ll incur an additional day’s charge. Plan your hire period to avoid extra costs

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.

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.

Before hiring a car in Shizuoka, carefully review the rental conditions from suppliers like Budget. Pay attention to details on payment card requirements, deposits, cross-border travel policies, and driving licence requirements to avoid any surprises.

A compact vehicle is easier to park and maneuver in congested city streets.

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.
