Good to know

  • Rental age requirements aren't the same everywhere. Companies can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you could encounter extra costs or restrictions. Check what rules apply with each supplier before booking your rental in Japan.

  • Planning a trip with the kids? Car seat regulations vary from one place to another, and the best setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Be sure to add the right one to your Nankoku car rental reservation.

  • Bring the right documents to avoid delays at pick-up. You'll typically need your physical driver's license (no copies) and another form of photo ID. Have a credit card ready for the deposit too. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.

  • Driving in Japan can seem unfamiliar if it's your first time. Be aware that traffic travels on the left side of the road.

  • Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 55kph in urban areas and 85kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Japan is 0.03%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink anything at all.

  • Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • The Japanese yen (JPY) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day purchases and outings. Use cards when you can, but have some cash ready when electronic payments aren't an option.

  • Japanese is the language spoken by most people in this country.
