Good to know
Rental age requirements aren't always the same across the board. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you could face extra fees or restrictions. Check what rules apply with each supplier before booking your rental in Japan.
Travelling with kids? Car seat requirements vary by location, and the right setup may depend on their age, weight and height. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Miyazaki car hire reservation.
Bring the right documents and keep pick-up quick and easy. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (not a screenshot or digital version) plus another photo ID. Bring a credit card with enough balance for the deposit too. If extra documents are required, they'll be listed in your booking.
Familiarise yourself with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, test the lights and blinkers, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And don't forget to stay on the left side of the road in Japan.
Follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 55kph in urban areas and 85kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.03% applies in Japan. The safest choice for staying legal to drive is to not drink at all.
Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic in this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.
The Japanese yen (JPY) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay by card when you can, but have some cash ready when electronic payments aren't accepted.
