Good to know
Age requirements often vary by provider (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some providers in Japan may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.
Bringing the kids with you? Car seat requirements vary from one location to another, and the right setup may depend on their height, age and weight. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Saga car hire reservation.
Bring the right documents to avoid delays at pick-up. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (no screenshots) plus another photo ID. Also bring along a credit card with room for the security hold. If anything extra is required, you'll find it in your booking.
Take your time getting acquainted with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And remember to stick to the left side of the road in Japan.
Keep within local speed limits of about 55kph through urban 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, pass the keys to someone else or arrange a taxi or ride-share instead.
Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
