10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Ego

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy greater availability, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars typically come at a lower rental price and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also impact renters over 70. Always verify age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the best approach. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also be convenient. Just remember to return the car empty in these cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worth it for the convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards as a form of payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can protect you from unforeseen expenses and provide peace of mind if something unexpected occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you have long road trips in mind, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
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.
