How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shimo-uni?
Shimo-uni requires drivers to be 18 and over to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and tighter rental conditions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Shimo-uni?
Before you can hit the road in Shimo-uni, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you choose not to take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Rules may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental provider.
What side of the road do you drive on in Shimo-uni?
If you're renting a car in Shimo-uni or planning a big road trip in Japan, prepare to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow at the start.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Shimo-uni?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental vehicle mid-holiday. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and find a ride to call your own for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a Shimo-uni car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental car companies that are found in Shimo-uni. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your rental car.
