How old do you have to be to rent a car in Yamagata?

What do you need to rent a car in Yamagata?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Yamagata?
In Yamagata, as with all of Japan, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the left if it's your first time.

Yes, and you'll find your perfect wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Just enter your trip information and we'll show you terrific offers from a range of top suppliers.
Where can I find a Yamagata car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you are under 25 years old in Yamagata often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet other companies may not apply any extra costs for this age range. It'd be good to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to escape any surprise charges when picking up your keys.
