What do you need to rent a car in Shimodaira?
Two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. Check with your rental provider to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Shimodaira?
In Shimodaira, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side. This can be daunting enough, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. For a safe journey, take things slower and allow yourself extra time to reach your destination.
