Where can I find a Yamagata car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you are under 25 years old in Yamagata often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet other companies may not apply any extra costs for this age range. It'd be good to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to escape any surprise charges when picking up your keys.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Yamagata?
For a secure, stress-free journey, add Expedia's collision damage protection to your rental car booking. This insurance covers your ride against accident damage, vandalism and theft. It also provides customers with round-the-clock emergency support in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Yamagata ride with Expedia and save time and money at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Yamagata with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Japan, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, 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 identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in many countries 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: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
