Rent a car in japan reviews of japanese cars

Hire a car in Japan Japanese car reviews. The forecasts were bad: we were expected to be lost in the countryside, or even at the bottom of a ravine. The result? Well, as we expected, everything went well. Very well indeed! The Japanese are just as friendly on foot as they are in the car: the courtesy and kindness of the Japanese behind the wheel amazed us throughout our roadtrip. They drive calmly, without hurrying, without honking... even in the big cities when renting a car in Japan! As for driving on the left or with an automatic car, it wasn't our first time... but it was the first time we'd combined the two. No worries there, it's all a question of getting used to it, which you do fairly quickly once you're there. And finally, the question that comes up most often: how do you find your way around Japanese roads? Very simple: with a GPS! The rental car was equipped with a GPS, but I have to admit that it wasn't easy to know which button to push, because even though the interface had been put into English just before we got on board, the buttons all around the GPS were in Japanese characters. Most of the time for a car in Japan, this GPS did its job very well, but we did have a few moments of despair: a finger slipping and inadvertently changing the language when renting a car, a destination that didn't correspond to what we were looking for, an incomplete address... And then we blessed our Pocket Wifi (which I've already told you about, and which was very useful on our first train journey) for your car in Japan. With internet access everywhere and a smartphone, we were able to use Google Maps to get off the beaten track and find our way back.

The price you pay for car hire depends on a number of factors: The vehicle model and type (compact, saloon, SUV, MPV, sports car, etc.). Please note: Japanese cars are smaller than Western cars. The duration and location of the rental period for Japanese cars. Seasonality: you'll naturally pay more in August than in February to hire a car in Japan. Returning the car to the same agency as when you left, or to another region (this is not very common in Japan, and is very expensive). The price charged is sometimes relatively high, either in travel agencies from abroad or on the spot in Japan. As the public transport network is highly developed and economical for foreign travellers (thanks in particular to the Japan Rail Pass), the budget for hiring a car can be quite different. If you want to hire a car in Japan, we recommend that you contact one of the specialists listed above before you leave. To keep costs down, the driver must be over 25, and the vehicle must be returned to the agency of departure. But you'll often need to reckon with a minimum daily rental of €70 for a compact car, not including ancillary costs such as petrol. Tolls are also very expensive in Japan: in general, they cost more than ¥20 (~€0.16) per kilometre, which means that a journey from Tokyo to Kyoto costs almost ¥10,000 (~€78.85) in motorway tolls for a car in Japan!
