How old do you have to be to rent a car in Osaka?
Usually, the requirement is 18 years and over in Osaka. It should be pointed out that most outlets will charge additional fees for young renters. Check before you sign up, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a specialty vehicle or a larger car like an SUV, drivers may need to be older than 18.
What do you need to rent a car in Osaka?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Osaka?
In Osaka, as with all of Japan, you drive on the left side of the road. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the left if it's your first time.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Osaka?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car halfway through your holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and reserve a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your break.
Where can I find an Osaka car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Osaka outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
