How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kaizawa?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Kaizawa is 18. An extra fee for young drivers typically applies, so check before you book and factor in any extra costs. There could also be restrictions on the categories of vehicles available to young drivers. For example, some companies will only rent out small and medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may differ between companies, so be sure to read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Kaizawa?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kaizawa?
If you take the wheel in Kaizawa, you'll need to stick to the left. Note that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a car with automatic transmission if you haven't driven on the left before.

Where can I find a Kaizawa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little homework. Found a Kaizawa supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That's great! Just bear in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the information you need.
