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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so reserving your car well ahead of your trip is advisable. By booking early, you're more likely to secure lower prices and enjoy better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically have lower rental costs and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles 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 categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before finalizing your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This option is usually the most economical. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car with an empty tank in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. It's simple to add insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of extra fees.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.

Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24-hour emergency assistance and no deductible if you need to make a claim. Plans changed? If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll get all your money back.
Can I drive in Ami with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Japan, then you'll likely 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 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 ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
