How old do you have to be to rent a car in Takayama?
Takayama requires drivers to be at least 18 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Many companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Takayama?
While rules may differ between rental car outlets in Takayama, the two things you'll need are a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Takayama?
Unlike the U.S, motorists in Takayama drive on the left side of the road. Having the driver's seat and some other controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a few moments to familiarise yourself with the car and its quirks before driving away.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Takayama?
Whether you plan to hang around Takayama or venture beyond, it's easy to reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find incredible long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Takayama car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental car companies that operate in Takayama. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
