Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Narita Intl. Airport (NRT)?
You can, and there's lots of choice. Once you arrive at Narita Intl. Airport (NRT), you'll find the rental car center in the first floor arrivals area of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Here you can arrange a booking with reputable companies like Times, Nippon and Orix. If you'd like some more options, see what's available with Toyota and Nissan.
What happens if I need to cancel my Tsukuba car reservation?
There are always times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we provide your money back on most reservations if you let us know six hours prior to the scheduled collection time. Remember to double-check the rental agreement — there are some instances where it's not an option. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal has more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Tsukuba?
Keep it simple with an economy, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to go past a compact vehicle — the number one choice in Tsukuba. They're a joy to park and handle, fuel-efficient and a wise idea if you're visiting big cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect slightly more comfort and room at a price that's still nice.
Where can I go on a road trip from Tsukuba?
When you've covered all the great sights in Tsukuba, there's a lot more to explore in the surrounding region. Pick up the keys to a rental car, toss your luggage in the trunk and get on the road. We've come up with some road trips we know you'll enjoy:

  • Tokyo is approximately 56 kilometers from Tsukuba. Top-rated attractions like Tokyo Skytree deserve to be high on your list while you're in town.
  • About 80 kilometers away, Yokohama is also popular with wanderers. Allow time to check out Hakkeijima Sea Paradise while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this thriving city.
  • Get out into nature and appreciate the serenity at Shirotori Garden. It's 306 kilometers from Tsukuba.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Tsukuba with Expedia?
Expedia makes it quick and easy to compare fees, offers and rental companies, and to check customer ratings. Combine your Tsukuba car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Tsukuba?
You need to be at least 18. But there are some age-related rules you should bear in mind before you book your Tsukuba wheels. If you're a younger motorist, rental providers will likely charge an extra daily fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. The exact surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between suppliers. Take a moment to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Tsukuba?
Generally, all that's required is a driver's license and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between rental providers, so remember to check before you book.
What side of the road do you drive on in Tsukuba?
If you're renting a car in Tsukuba or planning a big road trip in Japan, prepare to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Tsukuba?
Yes. We partner with quality companies that offer long-term rentals for a wide range of cars. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every square inch of Tsukuba — or beyond!
Where can I find a Tsukuba car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little homework. Found a Tsukuba supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That's great! Just take note that an extra charge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at will have all the details you need.
