 Renting a car while visiting Japan is a good option to enjoy beautiful landscapes, hi-tech cities, and the tranquil countryside of this magnificent island country.
Renting a Car
- If you are keen to explore rural Japan, then it is better to hire a car rather than depend on public transportation, which may not be very efficient in rural areas.
- However, car rental is not a popular idea for visiting the mega cities of Japan, which are marked by an extensive and highly efficient network of buses, bullet trains, and subways.
Car Rental Companies
- A large number of car rental companies are operating in all major cities of Japan. These include Nippon Rentacar, Mazda Rentacar, Nissan Rentacar, Toyota Rentalease, and many others. International car rental companies also offer their services; these include Avis, Budget, Hertz and several others.
- In addition to cars, of all sizes and models, vans, and buses are also easily available in Japan.
- Car Rental rates are based on the type, size and availability of the vehicle of your choice. In addition to the rental rate for the vehicle you will be required to pay for insurance, tolls, taxes and any other additional equipment, while traveling.
