Good to know
Age requirements for rentals often vary by provider (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Japan may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.
Travelling with kids? Car seat laws vary by location, and the right setup may depend on their weight, height and age. Check if you need to add one to your Fujisawa car hire booking.
Bring the right documents to make pick-up as quick as possible. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no screenshots) and a second photo ID. Bring a credit card with enough balance for the deposit too. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.
If you're unfamiliar with driving in Japan, remember that traffic here sticks to the left side of the road.
Local speed limits are often about 55kph in urban areas and around 85kph on highways. Check the road signs, as limits may vary.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Japan is 0.03%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the only way to be sure you're safe to drive is to avoid drinking.
Aim 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.
You'll be using the Japanese yen (JPY) for all your purchases and expenses on your trip. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cards and cash to ensure you're covered in all situations.
Japanese is the language you'll hear most people speaking in this country.
