Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Hongo car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we provide a full refund on most prepaid bookings if you advise us at least six hours prior to the scheduled collection time. Be sure to double-check your policy — there are some cases where it's not an option. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Hongo?
Mini, economy, full-size, premium ... The choice is all yours! However, compact models are the top pick in Hongo. If you want something affordable and small, but not too small, this category of rental car is the perfect choice. Driving around busy streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles are slightly roomier compared to economy rides and are well-suited to couples and families on a budget.
Where can I go on a road trip from Hongo?
Hongo is full of fun adventures, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Grab a set of wheels and take to the road to discover what else awaits in the wider area. Here are a few ideas:

  • Head off to Ito for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. Approximately 105 kilometres from Hongo, it has lots of amazing sights such as Izu Oceanic Park.
  • Why not enjoy the wonders of Nagano too? Notable tourist attractions here include Nagano Olympic Stadium. Nagano is roughly 177 kilometres from Hongo.
  • Head to Shirotori Garden to reconnect with nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just sit and unwind. From Hongo, it's around 274 kilometres away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Hongo with Expedia?
Nabbing the best deal on your Hongo rental car is a breeze with Expedia. Choose your preferred car type, add some details and compare prices across major brands. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You'll unlock even more savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hongo?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 18 and above can rent a car in Hongo. While some providers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 18, a fee will be added. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and the associated cost, before booking your ride. There are also restrictions on the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Hongo?
The essentials are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking with your rental agency to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Hongo?
In Hongo, like the rest of Japan, motorists drive on the left-hand side. Take things slow to build up confidence driving on the left if you've never done it before.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Hongo?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and secure a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a Hongo car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Hongo rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge additional costs. It's better to know this ahead of time so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
