What types of cars can I rent in Tokyo?
Small in size but big on benefits, economy cars are the pick of the bunch in Tokyo. They're a snap to park and handle, which is handy if you'll be doing mostly city driving. And with great fuel-efficiency, these reliable wheels will have you cruising around on the cheap. Prefer a larger car? Check out our range of standard, full-size or premium vehicles.
Where can I go on a road trip from Tokyo?
Tokyo has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the road to discover what else awaits in the wider area. Here are some great options we've come up with:

  • Head off to Ito for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. Around 97 kilometres from Tokyo, it's home to loads of cool attractions such as Izu Oceanic Park.
  • Your next stop? Make it Nagano, which is around 177 kilometres away. Nagano Olympic Stadium is one local draw card you shouldn't miss.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Tokyo?
At least 18. But there are some age-related restrictions to keep in mind before booking your Tokyo wheels. If you're a younger driver, many rental providers will charge an extra daily fee and limit the sorts of cars you're able to rent. The exact surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between suppliers. Take the time to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Tokyo?
Be prepared to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your rental provider whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Tokyo?
Unlike the United States, motorists in Tokyo drive on the left. Having the driver's seat and some other controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Spend some time familiarising yourself with the car before getting on the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Tokyo?
You can, and the great news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Check out our long-term car rental deals in Tokyo and score an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Tokyo car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies that are found in Tokyo. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your rental car.
