How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shimamoto?

Most companies impose a young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Shimamoto?
A current driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between rental suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.

Where can I find a Shimamoto car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Shimamoto providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some places will have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Shimamoto?
A thorough insurance policy is a wise idea for your upcoming Shimamoto vacation. That's why we suggest choosing collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Shimamoto with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Japan, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places 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 vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
