Car Rental Kobe City Centre

Kobe City Centre is full of adventures, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Arrange a set of wheels and take to the road to see what else awaits in the wider area. Here are some great options we've come up with:

• You'll find Kiyomizu Temple and countless other interesting attractions in Kyoto. From Kobe City Centre, it's 40 miles away.
• Your next pit stop? Consider Nara, which is around 35 miles away. Todaiji Temple is one local highlight you shouldn't miss.
• Get out into the great outdoors and inhale the fresh air at Minami Alps National Park. You'll find it around 180 miles from Kobe City Centre.

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Japan, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many 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 fine print before you drive off the lot. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental car.
