How old do you have to be to rent a car in Date?
If you're 18 and above, you can rent a car in Date. Keep in mind that rental companies will charge an additional fee if you're a young driver, which helps cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young motorists often aren't permitted to rent larger vehicles and luxury cars. Carefully read the terms and conditions before you book to avoid any surprises during pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Date?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Rules may differ from rental company to rental company, so read your policy thoroughly.
What side of the road do you drive on in Date?
In Date, like the rest of Japan, you drive on the left side of the road. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the opposite side if you've never done it before.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Date?
Whether you have plans to stick around Date or travel beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you amazing long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Date car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Managed to find a Date outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That's great! Just take note that extra fees often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the information you need.
