Getting an amazing deal on your Shimonoseki rental car is a cinch with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add in a few more details and compare prices from top suppliers. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll unlock even more savings when you create a vacation package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shimonoseki?
Shimonoseki rules state drivers must be 18 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Shimonoseki?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Shimonoseki?
You'll be driving on the left in Shimonoseki. This means that the driver's seat and other controls are also on the opposite side. Set aside extra time to get the hang of your new car before taking off.
What is the cheapest car rental in Shimonoseki?
The two lowest daily prices recorded in Shimonoseki within the past seven days were $48 and $55. How's that for a great deal? 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.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Shimonoseki?

Where can I find a Shimonoseki car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Shimonoseki often depends on the rental company you choose. Some businesses have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years old, but others may not apply any additional costs for this age range. Ensure you read the terms and conditions of your prospective car rental dealer to escape any nasty surprises at the rental desk.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Shimonoseki?
A thorough insurance policy is a fantastic choice for your Shimonoseki escape. That's why we recommend choosing collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Shimonoseki 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 home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
