Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Hakodate Airport (HKD)?
Europcar is a short commute from the terminal and the only car rental option. Reserve your vehicle as soon as you know your travel dates to avoid missing out.
What happens if I need to cancel my Hakodate car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility is important. That's why many prepaid bookings provide a full refund if you notify us at least six hours ahead of collecting the car. It's still good to check the rental policy though as there are some exceptions. If the information isn't there, head to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Hakodate?
Not too small and not too big, compact vehicles are the first choice for many visitors to Hakodate. Featuring exceptional gas mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they're well-suited to travelling around the city. A compact has slightly more space than an economy vehicle, which means you can get around in a little more comfort. Want something bigger? Browse our standard, intermediate and full-size options.
