10 tips to save on your Ego car hire

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize Expedia's filters to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to benefit from lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size cars strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before confirming your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is usually the most beneficial. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also work well. Just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the added cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is a simple process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning on taking long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Ego?
You'll want to add collision damage protection while booking your Ego rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against accident damage, theft and vandalism throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and round-the-clock emergency help, you can get into the driver's seat knowing you're covered for most mishaps. It's easy to opt in to this insurance during the checkout process.
Can I drive in Ego with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Japan, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
