  • Pick up a cheap rental car in Tokoname for an average of £88 a day and drive off happy. We do the hard work for you by searching all the top rental companies, helping you find and book the best deal fast.

  • The cheapest daily rental price in Tokoname is £17.

  • Staying a little longer and want to explore beyond the tourist trail? £111 is the best rate for a weekly rental.

  • Book early to snap up the best price for a Tokoname car hire. On top of better deals, you're more likely to get the vehicle you actually want.

  • Browse the offers available from leading providers like TravelCar and Europcar.

  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Tokoname car hire policy, whether with TravelCar or another supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.

  • Booking a one-way car hire can be the key to finding a deal. Select 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often have to move vehicles from one location to another, which means you can bag some great one-way prices on a car for rent in Tokoname.

  • 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. You won't get hit with overpriced refueling charges either.

  • Pack more into your journey by choosing a rental with 'Unlimited mileage.' Located under the 'Policies' filter, these rides let you drive as far as you like without paying more.

  • Medium: Choose from compact and intermediate cars that combine space, fuel efficiency and comfort. Easy to handle in traffic and with enough space for longer drives, they're well-suited to most travel needs.

  • Large: Long drives are effortless in this Tokoname car hire category. Also known as full-size, they're built with bigger engines for better driving. The extra space and comfort make them a popular choice for families and groups of friends.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Car rental excess insurance isn't mandatory, but is something to think about. If your vehicle is damaged, no matter how minor, it can help you avoid paying a big excess fee. Different Tokoname car hire providers have varying insurance policies and cover levels, so check the details before booking.

  • Make your trip smoother when you rent a car in Tokoname by adding some handy extras. Think things like a GPS unit to keep you headed the right way, or reverse cameras that'll help you park like a pro.

Good to know

  • Age requirements for rentals vary by provider and even car type, so be clear on the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Japan may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to browse your options.

  • Add a car seat to your Tokoname car hire booking if you're travelling with small kids. Requirements change from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, weight and age is always the safest option.

  • You'll need to bring a few things when picking up your rental car: a current driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.

  • Driving in Japan can take some adjustment if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stick to the left side of the road.

  • Local speed limits are often about 55kph (35mph) in built-up areas and around 85kph (55mph) on highways. Check the road signs, as limits may vary.

  • In Japan, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.03%. If you intend to have a few drinks, get someone else to do the driving or choose another way to travel.

  • Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother trip. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • The Japanese yen (JPY) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day expenses and outings. Pay with a debit or credit card when it's possible, and keep some cash handy when electronic payments aren't an option.

  • Japanese is the language you'll hear most people speak in this country.
