Japan Rental Car Deals

While you can rent a vehicle for a bigger Japan trip, be aware that parking in large cities can be crazy expensive. You will also have to pay expressway tolls. When you add these items to the normal rental car and insurance cost, it is usually cheaper to take the train.

Therefore, we recommend renting a car as a great option for exploring regional areas of Japan. You catch the train to the regional area, pick up a rental car, explore the area, and then return the car before catching the train to your next destination. One-way rental fees can also be quite expensive, so ensure you explore this cost before choosing to rent a car in Japan.
