Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Shimizu car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours prior to the pickup time, the majority of prepaid bookings offer a total refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to familiarize yourself with your rental policy. Check your confirmation for the details or click through to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in Shimizu?
Premium, full-size, intermediate ... The choice is all yours! However, compact models are the most popular in Shimizu. If you're after something small and cost-effective, but not too small, this category of rental vehicle is a wise choice. Driving around bustling streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles are slightly roomier compared to economy rides and are well-suited to solo travelers, couples and families on a budget.
Where can I go on a road trip from Shimizu?
Shimizu is full of adventures, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the road to discover what else awaits in the surrounding region. These are some great options:
  • You'll discover Sapporo JR Tower and countless other interesting attractions in Sapporo. From Shimizu, it's roughly 129 kilometers away.
  • Your next pit stop? Consider Asahikawa, which is around 97 kilometers away. Asahiyama Zoo is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.
  • Oirase Gorge is around 306 kilometers from Shimizu and is one of the region's most gorgeous nature spots. Stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shimizu?
Usually, the requirement is 18 years and over in Shimizu. It's important to note that most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers. Read the fine print before you book your ride, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a luxury ride or a large car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 18.
What do you need to rent a car in Shimizu?
Before you can get behind the wheel in Shimizu, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card. If you don't take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Rules may vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental company.
What side of the road do you drive on in Shimizu?
Unlike the U.S, people in Shimizu drive on the left. Having the driver's seat and some other controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the car and its quirks before hitting the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Shimizu?
You can, and the good news is companies often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Look up our long-term car rental deals in Shimizu and cruise off with a real bargain.
Where can I find a Shimizu car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Found a Shimizu outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific news! Just be aware that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at will have all the details you need.
