What do you need to rent a car in Central Kyoto?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Central Kyoto?

Where can I find a Central Kyoto car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a bit of shopping around. Found a Central Kyoto supplier that does rent to under 25s? Awesome!
