How old do you have to be to rent a car in Yamagata?
Drivers need to be at least 18. But there are some age-related restrictions you should know about before you book your wheels in Yamagata. If you're a younger driver, most rental companies will charge an extra fee and limit the types of cars you're able to rent. This size of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between providers. Be sure to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Yamagata?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Yamagata, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card. If you choose not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Rules can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Yamagata?
If you're renting a car in Yamagata or planning a road trip in greater Japan, prepare to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Yamagata?
You can, and the terrific news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Check out our long-term car rental deals in Yamagata and drive away with an incredible bargain.
Where can I find a Yamagata car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Yamagata often depends on the rental company you select. Some outlets have a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not apply any additional costs for this age group. It'd be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your preferred rental dealer to escape any nasty surprises when collecting your car.
