How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shirahama?
In most cases, the rules are 18 years of age and over in Shirahama. It's worth noting that most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers. Read the fine print before you book, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Keep in mind that if you're planning to rent a luxury vehicle 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 Shirahama?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your selected company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Shirahama?
If you're renting a vehicle in Shirahama or road-tripping around Japan, be prepared to drive on the left. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra care.

Yes, and the good news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Explore our long-term car rental deals in Shirahama and cruise away with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a Shirahama car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you're under 25 years in Shirahama often depends on the rental provider you select. Some outlets apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet others may not apply any additional fees for this age bracket. It'd be wise to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective rental company to escape any surprise charges on pickup.
