What types of cars can I rent in Shinjuku?
Economy, premium, full-size ... Whatever you prefer! However, compact models are the top pick in Shinjuku. If you'd like something small and affordable, but not too small, this category of rental car is a wise choice. Driving around bustling streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles are slightly roomier than economy models and are well-suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shinjuku?
Drivers aged 18 and over can hit the highway in Shinjuku in a rental car. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll generally have fewer car categories to choose from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to purchase inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Shinjuku?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Shinjuku?
You'll be driving on the left-hand side of the road in Shinjuku. This means that the driver's seat and controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. Allow for a bit of extra time to get familiar with your rental car before you hit the open road.

Where can I find a Shinjuku car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a car in Shinjuku, you'll need to check the terms and conditions of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any surprises on pickup, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
