How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shimizusawa?
Shimizusawa rules state drivers must be 18 and above to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and stricter rental conditions. Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Shimizusawa?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Shimizusawa?
If you're renting a car in Shimizusawa or planning a road trip around Japan, you'll be driving on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.

Where can I find a Shimizusawa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Shimizusawa outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Shimizusawa?
After meticulously planning your big trip, don't skimp on your insurance — choose collision protection while booking your Shimizusawa rental vehicle with Expedia. There are tons of benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, vandalism and collision damage. Plus, with no deductible and 24-hour emergency help, you'll be able to breathe a little easier should you find yourself in a pickle.
Can I drive in Shimizusawa with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess 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 allowed 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 driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
