Good to know
Rental age requirements aren't always the same across the board. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're under the minimum age, you could encounter extra costs or restrictions. Check the terms set by each supplier before booking your car rental in Japan.
Add a car seat to your Yamaguchi car rental booking if you're bringing the kids. Guidelines vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, size and weight is always the safest option.
You'll likely be asked for these three things when picking up your rental car: an official driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card to cover the deposit amount. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Your booking will show the full list of what's required.
Driving in Japan may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the left side of the road.
Local speed limits may vary, but it's typically around 55kph in built-up areas and 85kph or so on highways. Always go by the posted signs.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Japan is 0.03%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.
Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the Japanese yen (JPY) for all your purchases and expenses on your trip. You may find it useful to carry a mix of cash and cards so you always have a backup option.
