What happens if I need to cancel my Hitachi car reservation?
There are always times when plans get upended. That's why we give a full refund on most prepaid rentals if you cancel six hours in advance of the collection time. Be sure to double-check your rental policy — there are some cases where it's not an option. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Hitachi?
Not too small yet not too big, compact vehicles are the number one choice for many visitors to Hitachi. Offering great gas mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they're well-suited to zipping around the city. A compact car has more space than an economy vehicle, so you can travel around in a bit more comfort. Prefer a bit more legroom? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.
Where can I go on a road trip from Hitachi?
After you've covered all the terrific sights in Hitachi, there's plenty more to explore in the surrounding region. Pick up the keys to a rental car, throw your luggage in the trunk and get going. We've pulled together some road trips we think you'll enjoy:

  • Tokyo is roughly 129 kilometres from Hitachi. Famous sights like Tokyo Skytree deserve to be high on your list here.
  • Approximately 161 kilometres away, Yokohama is also a hit with wanderers. Set aside time to take in Hakkeijima Sea Paradise while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this city.
  • Minami Alps National Park is about 241 kilometres from Hitachi and is one of the region's most spectacular nature spots. Stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Hitachi with Expedia?
Finding the best deal on your Hitachi rental car is easy with Expedia. Choose your preferred car type, add some details and compare the offers across popular brands. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You'll unlock even bigger savings when you create a holiday package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hitachi?
The minimum age is 18. But there are a few age-related rules to bear in mind before you lock in your wheels in Hitachi. If you're a young driver, rental providers will likely charge an additional fee and limit the types of cars you can rent. The surcharge amount, and which ages it applies to, differs between providers. Take a few moments to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Hitachi?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Hitachi?
Unlike the States, people in Hitachi drive on the left side of the road. Having the steering wheel and some other controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the car before driving off.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Hitachi?
Expedia makes it a snap to book an affordable long-term rental in Hitachi. Just head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and compare your options.
Where can I find a Hitachi car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Hitachi companies will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
