The car was a bit old when I picked it up at the airport, but it was in good working order and clean. It had 130,908 kilometers on it. I was contacted via WhatsApp the day before pickup. The pickup location was clear, and I could ask any questions via WhatsApp. The return process was simple and smooth; I chose my own hotel in Shin-Hashi. The only downside was that renting an ETC card was very expensive, 600 yen per day. For Toyota rentals, adding an ETC card cost 330 yen per trip (regardless of the number of days).

The pre-rental communication was clear and convenient 👍🏼, the pick-up and drop-off arrangements were excellent 👍🏼, the on-site explanations were clear 👍🏼, and the procedures were straightforward and quick 👍🏼; I had a good experience renting a car this time and would recommend this company. The only thing I have to say is that the NOHA hybrid vehicle I rented wasn't very new, having already clocked 200,000 kilometers, but its driving performance was still good. This car doesn't have cruise control, so maintaining a constant speed on highways can be tiring.

I recommend this company for renting a car to drive in Osaka. Booking through Trip is very convenient. Contacting via WeChat is very convenient. There is a car pick-up at the airport to take you to the car company. The staff are very helpful and give good advice. They try their best to help and provide good service. There is a service to drop off at the airport or train station. When coming to Osaka, I will use the service again. Good Car, Good Staff, Good Service.

This was my second time booking a rental car to drive in Japan through Trip.com and renting a car from a Chinese company in Japan. To be honest, the first time was good, but the second time was even more impressive. The car was exactly as described and the exact model. Before the day of pickup, someone contacted us through the channel we specified. We were asked to read the contract in advance. On the actual day of pickup at Kansai Airport, the pickup point was clearly stated. The person who delivered the car provided good information. The company took photos of any previous scratches on the car and immediately informed us that they were the original spots. /// On the day of returning the car, the person who came to pick up the car was even more lovely. He picked up the car in front of the apartment we rented. We had a minor accident involving the car, so we immediately informed the company on the date of the accident. What really impressed us was that they asked if we were safe, even though we had told them it was only a minor accident involving the car. This showed how much they cared. The car had bumper damage and fell off. We had no other party involved. The car rental company collected the money in advance for the damage and let us claim through the insurance that we had purchased ourselves. When we returned to Thailand, it was very easy to make a claim because we didn't buy insurance directly from the rental company, but bought it through Trip, so we had to pay for it ourselves first. Everything went smoothly. We just had to take photos of the damage and request all payment documents for the claim.

Booked a car for 2 days. Very friendly staffs. Car stated was for 7 seater but we have 6 adults and 2kids. So I request for a 8 seats car which the centre row is a bench seat. They did arrange 1 of my request. Pick up and drop off just directly below my Airbnb. Very convenient. Car is very new.

Osaka Car Rental Guide
Why you should rent a car when traveling in Osaka
Osaka is packed with energy, food, and culture—but the real magic lies in the surrounding Kansai region. If you’re planning to visit places like Nara, Wakayama, or the hidden gems in Kyoto’s countryside, a rental car opens up a world of convenience. Public transport in Japan is excellent, but it doesn't always reach the scenic, off-the-grid spots that make a trip truly special. With a car, you can travel on your own schedule, skip the crowds, and explore at your own pace.
How to find a budget-friendly car rental in Osaka
Prices tend to spike during holidays and weekends, so booking in advance can save you quite a bit. Avoid picking up your car at the airport if possible—locations in the city often offer lower rates. Look for all-in-one packages that include insurance, GPS, and ETC cards (for tolls). Also, Trip.com regularly features discounted rates from top rental agencies, so it’s worth checking our listings.
What documents and items do you need when renting a car?
Here’s what you need to bring when picking up your rental car in Osaka:
- International Driving Permit (IDP)
- This is required under the 1949 Geneva Convention. It must be used with your home country license.
- Passport
- You’ll need it for ID verification.
- Credit card
- Most companies don’t accept debit cards for the deposit.
- Rental confirmation
- Having a printed or digital copy helps speed up the process.
Driving tips for your road trip in Japan
Driving in Japan is straightforward, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Drive on the left side of the road.
- Speed limits are lower than in many countries, usually 50 km/h in town and 80–100 km/h on highways.
- Tolls are common on expressways, so ask for an ETC card to save time and hassle.
- No need to honk, as Japanese drivers are courteous and patient.
- Parking is paid and regulated. Use coin-operated lots or check if your hotel offers parking.
Many roads are well-maintained, and signs are typically displayed in both Japanese and English, especially around cities and tourist areas.
Child safety rules to know before you drive
In Japan, children under six must use a child safety seat by law. Most rental companies in Osaka offer a variety of seats (from infant carriers to booster seats) as optional add-ons. It’s best to book these ahead of time to make sure the right size is available. Also, children should sit in the back seat unless the car is fully occupied.
Places around Osaka worth the drive
Renting a car means you’re not limited to train lines. Take a drive to Minoo Park for autumn leaves, or head to Arima Onsen, one of Japan’s oldest hot spring towns. Koya-san, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is another peaceful retreat within driving distance. You can also take a coastal ride to Awaji Island for a scenic, relaxing day trip.
