  • Book early to lock in the best price for a Funabashi car hire. In addition to lower rates, you'll have a wider range of options to pick from.

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

  • The coverage Rakuten or another supplier offers for your Funabashi car hire can differ, so be sure to read the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge a fee for it.

  • Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to land a bargain if the provider needs to shift cars between sites. Find the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Spend less on fuel by picking a vehicle that offers a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up the car with a full tank and return it full, so you only pay for what you use.

  • Roam without limits by searching for rentals with 'Unlimited mileage.' Located under the 'Policies' filter, these rides let you drive as far as you need without paying more.

  • Medium: Not too small, not too big, this is the Goldilocks of rentals! Typically including compact and intermediate cars, they strike a balance of interior space and fuel efficiency and are suited to couples and small families.

  • Large: Long drives fly by in this Funabashi car hire category. Also known as full-size, their bigger engines are built to perform. The extra space and comfort make them an excellent choice for groups of friends and families.

  • SUV: SUVs are adventure on four wheels. All-wheel drive and everyday versatility equip them for urban streets and rugged backroads alike.

  • Van: If you're searching for a car for rent in Funabashi big enough for a small crowd (and all their gear), a van has room where it matters. Including commercial vans and trucks, they're best suited for group excursions, business use or moving.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Choosing excess insurance for your Funabashi car hire gives you peace of mind. It protects you from paying a hefty excess fee in case of a collision or theft. Insurance policies can vary between rental providers, so check how each one stacks up.

  • Take your ride to the next level with extras like a GPS unit and reverse camera. They can make your drive smoother and more enjoyable when you rent a car in Funabashi.

Good to know

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

  • Add a car seat to your Funabashi car hire reservation if you're travelling with small kids. Regulations change from place to place, but using a child seat suited to their age and size is always the safest option.

  • Bring the right documents to make pick-up as quick as possible. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no copies) and another form of photo ID. Have a credit card ready for the deposit too. If anything else is expected, it'll be listed in your booking.

  • Driving in Japan might take some adjustment for first-time visitors. Keep in mind traffic flows on the left side of the road.

  • Follow the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 55kph in urban areas and 85kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Japan is 0.03%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.

  • Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the Japanese yen (JPY) on your trip here. Along with your debit and credit cards, have some cash on hand for minor purchases.

  • The language most widely spoken in this country is Japanese.
