Age requirements vary by provider (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some companies in Japan may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you're outside the typical age range, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.

Bring the right documents to make pick-up quick and easy. You'll generally need your physical driver's license (not a screenshot or digital version) 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.
Familiarize yourself with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, find the lights and blinkers, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And remember to stick to the left side of the road in Japan.
Keep within local speed limits of about 55kph in built-up areas and around 85kph on highways. Check the road signs, as limits may vary.
A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.03% applies in Japan. The safest way to stay legal to drive is to avoid drinking altogether.
The Japanese yen (JPY) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day expenses and activities. Pay with your card when you can, but have some cash ready when electronic payments aren't available.
