How do I find the best car rental deals in Kyoto with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a breeze to compare prices, offers and providers, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your Kyoto car rental with hotel or flight bookings to save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kyoto?
Anyone with a valid driver's license 18 and over can rent a car in Kyoto. While some outlets may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 18, a fee will be added. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and what it costs, before booking. There are also restrictions on the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Kyoto?
You'll need to present a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your chosen rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kyoto?
Cars drive on the left-hand side of the road in Kyoto. This means that the driver's seat and other controls are also on the other side. Allow some extra time to familiarize yourself with your new car before setting out.
What is the cheapest car rental in Kyoto?
The two cheapest daily rates offered in Kyoto within the past seven days were $56 and $57. Now that's what we'd call an awesome 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 Kyoto?
You can, and the good news is companies often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Discover our long-term car rental deals in Kyoto and drive off with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Kyoto car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a car rental in Kyoto, check the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Kyoto?
It's wise to have collision damage protection to safeguard your Kyoto rental car against theft, accident damage and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can easily purchase this insurance for your vehicle at the time of booking. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers round-the-clock emergency support and a zero-dollar deductible if you need to make a claim. Change of plans? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll receive a 100 percent refund.
Can I drive in Kyoto 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. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must 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 onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
