Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Kanazawa car reservation?
We know that plans can change unexpectedly. That's why many prepaid reservations offer a full refund if you cancel six hours prior to the collection time. Your rental agreement should include all the details you need. If you can't find the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always available.
What types of cars can I rent in Kanazawa?
Not too small and not too big, compact vehicles are the number one choice for many visiting motorists in Kanazawa. With excellent gas mileage and easy maneuverability and parking, they're ideal for cruising around the city. A compact car offers slightly more room than an economy vehicle, which means you can cruise around in a bit more comfort. Prefer something bigger?

Where can I go on a road trip from Kanazawa?
Kanazawa is full of adventures, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what's in the surrounding region. Here are a few places to choose from:

  • Ito is roughly 64 kilometers from Kanazawa. Well-known attractions like Izu Oceanic Park deserve to be high on your must-see list here.
  • Approximately 193 kilometers away, Nagano is also popular with travelers. Make sure you take in Nagano Olympic Stadium while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this thriving city.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Kanazawa with Expedia?
Check customer reviews and ratings, choose your favorite ride and compare prices from the most popular suppliers. Expedia makes it a cinch to find the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Kanazawa car rental with hotel or flight bookings and hit the road with even greater savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kanazawa?
The minimum age to rent a car in Kanazawa is 18. A surcharge for young drivers applies, so check before you book and take into account any additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the car categories that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some companies will only rent out small to medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may be different between companies, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Kanazawa?
Most of the time, all you'll need is a current driver's license and credit card in your name when picking up the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements often differ between suppliers, so it's always a good idea to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kanazawa?
Unlike the States, people in Kanazawa drive on the left. Having the driver's seat and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before hitting the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Kanazawa?
Expedia makes it a snap to score a quality long-term car rental in Kanazawa. Just head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and compare the offers.
Where can I find a Kanazawa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Kanazawa outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
