  • Whether you go with Nissan Rent a Car or another supplier, double-check the coverage on your Komatsu car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others offer it as a paid extra.

  • Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to land a good deal if the provider needs to move vehicles between sites. Discover the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Bringing the kids with you? Car seat rules vary according to the location, and the correct setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Make sure you add the right one to your Komatsu car hire reservation.

  • You'll be asked for a few things when picking up your rental car: a valid driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds to pay the security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.

  • Driving in Japan may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the left side of the road.

  • Local speed limits are often about 55kph through built-up areas and around 85kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.

  • In Japan, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.03%. If you think you'll be drinking, get someone else to do the driving or arrange a ride-share or taxi instead.

  • Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the Japanese yen (JPY) for all your purchases and expenses here. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cash and cards for more flexibility when paying.
