  • Browse the offers available with Hertz, Rakuten and Nissan Rent a Car. They're some of the top providers in the city.

  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Toyama car rental policy, whether you book with Hertz or any other supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.

  • Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to score a good deal if the provider needs to relocate some of its vehicles. Discover the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. No surprise fuel add-ons when you hand back the keys either.

  • Pack more into your journey by choosing a rental with 'Unlimited mileage.' Located under the 'Policies' filter, it means you can go as far as you like with no extra cost.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Choosing excess insurance for your Toyama car rental can take the stress out of driving. It protects you from paying a hefty excess fee in case of theft or damage. Insurance policies aren't the same across all rental providers, so take the time to shop around.

  • Travel smarter when you rent a car in Toyama by adding a few handy extras. Think things like a GPS unit to keep your trip on track, or reverse cameras that'll help you park like a pro.

Good to know

  • Check each company's age requirements before booking your car rental in Japan. Rules can vary, and added costs or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, just uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' box and enter your age to explore your options.

  • Travel plans include the kids? Car seat regulations vary by location, and the right setup may depend on their age, weight and height. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Toyama car rental reservation.

  • Come prepared and save time at pick-up. You'll generally need your physical driver's license (no electronic copies) and another form of photo ID. Also bring along a credit card with room for the security hold. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.

  • If you've never driven in Japan, keep in mind that traffic here keeps to the left side of the road.

  • Local speed limits are often about 55kph through built-up areas and around 85kph on highways. Road signs will show if a different limit applies.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Japan is 0.03%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink anything at all.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic in this destination. Try to avoid busy hours generally for a smoother drive.

  • The Japanese yen (JPY) is the currency you'll be using for general expenses and activities. Pay by card when it's possible, and keep some cash handy when electronic payments aren't accepted.
