What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Shimoda?
For a secure, stress-free road trip, add Expedia's collision damage protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your ride against theft, vandalism and collision damage.

Can I drive in Shimoda with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Japan, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation 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 added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
