How old do you have to be to rent a car in Sendai?
You'll need to be 18 and over to pick up the keys to a rental vehicle in Sendai. Keep in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Many companies will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Look up the rules before clicking book and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Sendai?
You'll need to present your driver's license and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your selected rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Sendai?
If you're renting a vehicle in Sendai or planning a road trip around Japan, prepare to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra care.
What is the cheapest car rental in Sendai?
The two cheapest daily rates on offer in Sendai within the past seven days were $58 and $67. How's that for a bargain? These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Where can I find a Sendai car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to book a rental in Sendai, we suggest reading the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any nasty surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Sendai?
For a smooth, stress-free journey, add Expedia's collision protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your ride against theft, vandalism and collision damage. It also offers round-the-clock emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Sendai ride with Expedia and save money and time at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Sendai with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Japan, then you may need to get 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 you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
