Times Car Hire in Japan

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

When hiring a car with Times in Japan, you'll find numerous locations available. With cities across Japan countries, you'll always have plenty of options for where to start your journey.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

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.

Most car hire deals with Times in Japan include some level of insurance, but it’s essential to verify that the coverage meets your needs. Consider protection against theft, third-party liability, and breakdown assistance. Be sure to review the insurance details of your chosen deal when you search.

Choosing the right mileage and fuel policy can make a big difference. Opt for a full-to-full fuel policy to avoid refuelling before your journey. If you're planning a long road trip, select a deal with unlimited mileage to prevent unexpected charges. Begin your search and check 'Unlimited mileage' under 'Mileagae Policies'.

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 booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.
