Toyota Noah
Pros:
This rental car company offers excellent service and very good rental rates, but communication is done through WeChat. They provide an airport pick-up service to take you to the car pickup location, which was very convenient. We rented the car at Narita and returned it at Haneda, and they also provided a return service there for an additional 5,000 yen. The staff explained everything clearly and in detail.
Cons:
We rented a Toyota Noah as booked, but it was an older model without CarPlay and couldn’t connect to our phones. However, the car was still in very good condition. Also, they don’t offer a flat-rate ETC plan — you must rent an ETC card and pay the actual toll fees when returning the car.

The car was in great condition, and picking it up was very convenient—it only took five minutes, and no deposit was required. The service was excellent, and online responses were very quick.

Toyota Corolla
Great car to drive. They communicated by WhatsApp and give clear instructions on the pickup location. It was very easy. I had a minor issue with the front tires being almost at the tread bar for the driving I had to do. Everything else was good. I will use this company again.

Nissan Note
A good experience with this company. The NFC card was inserted the wrong way around, so we kept getting a voice message in Japanese, but we were helped with that upon our return. They did try to add an extra insurance policy, but after clearly stating that everything was taken care of, it wasn't necessary.

✨So good, we booked 2 cars with the same company. We booked for 5 full days. We bought additional options such as ETC cards for about 20,000 yen per car, which gave us 5,000 yen change back, which was a good deal.

We rented two cars and picked up and returned them on the same day. The staff provided excellent service. The journey to pick up the cars was convenient and the staff were kind and lovely. We purchased additional options and insurance, such as ETC cards, for around 20,000 yen, and we got back around 5,000 yen. We traveled from the car rental shop to various cities, which was quite far, but we still got our money back. The staff provided excellent advice and service. The car we rented had a defect in the front, so the shop took a photo to show that there was a defect here. We should have checked the car as well, but there was no problem. The staff were lovely and would recommend renting a car. ✨🩷

8 Things You Should Know: Car Rental in Tokyo
Car Rental Requirements in Tokyo
To rent a car in Tokyo, you must be at least 18 years old (most companies prefer 21+). You'll need:
- A valid International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your home country's license
- Your passport
- A credit card in the renter's name
Most rental companies require a security deposit of ¥30,000-50,000 ($200-350), which is returned when you bring back the car undamaged.
Best Rental Car Types in Tokyo
Tokyo's compact streets and excellent public transport mean smaller cars are ideal. Popular choices include:
- Kei cars (ultra-compact vehicles) - perfect for navigating narrow streets
- Compact cars like Toyota Vitz or Honda Fit - great for city driving
- Mid-size sedans - comfortable for longer trips outside Tokyo
Hybrid vehicles are widely available and help save on fuel costs. Skip large SUVs unless absolutely necessary, as they're harder to maneuver and park in Tokyo.
Tokyo Driving Rules & Speed Limits
In Japan, cars drive on the left side of the road. Speed limits are:
- Expressways: 80-100 km/h (50-62 mph)
- Main city roads: 40-50 km/h (25-31 mph)
- Residential areas: 30 km/h (19 mph)
Japan has zero tolerance for drinking and driving (legal limit is 0.03%). All passengers must wear seatbelts, and children under 6 need proper car seats. Phone use while driving is strictly prohibited.
Tokyo Car Rental Airport Guide
Tokyo's two major airports offer different car rental experiences.
- At Narita International Airport, located about 60km from central Tokyo, the rental car counters are conveniently located in both Terminal 1 and 2. Major companies like Toyota Rent a Car and Times Car Rental operate here, and free shuttle buses connect you to their nearby lots.
- Haneda Airport, being closer to central Tokyo (about 15km), often proves more convenient for city access. Its rental car center is easily reached by frequent shuttle services from all terminals.
Both airports offer English-speaking staff at most rental counters, and it's advisable to book in advance through Trip.com, especially during peak seasons like cherry blossom time (March-April) or autumn foliage (November).
Traffic Conditions in Tokyo
Tokyo traffic is heaviest from 7:30-9:30 AM and 5:30-7:30 PM on weekdays. The expressway system, while efficient, can become heavily congested, especially on the Inner Circular Route and routes leading to business districts like Shinjuku and Shibuya. Weekend traffic tends to build up around popular shopping and entertainment areas, and during festival seasons. However, Tokyo's excellent public transportation system means you can often plan your driving times around peak periods.
Fuel Tips for Tokyo Rental Cars
Gas stations in Tokyo are mostly full-service and prices are regulated, so there's less variation than in other countries. Regular gas costs about ¥150-170 per liter ($4-4.50 per gallon). Many stations close late night, so fill up during the day. Look for self-service stations (セルフ) for slightly lower prices.
Parking Tips for Tokyo
Unlike many Western cities, street parking is rare and usually prohibited. Most parking is handled through automated parking systems or attended lots, locally known as "coin parking" (コインパーキング). Rates in central areas typically range from ¥400-1000 per hour, with some variation based on location and time of day. Many shopping centers offer validated parking with purchases, which can save considerable money. Hotels generally charge ¥1,500-3,000 per night for parking, though rates in central Tokyo can be higher.
Tokyo Road Trip Ideas
A rental car opens up exciting possibilities for exploring beyond Tokyo's boundaries. The Mount Fuji and surrounding Hakone region make for a perfect day trip, roughly two hours away by car. The historic city of Kamakura, with its ancient temples and beautiful beaches, is just an hour's drive south. For longer excursions, consider the UNESCO World Heritage sites in Nikko (2.5 hours) or the refreshing mountain resort town of Karuizawa (2 hours). When planning these trips, factor in expressway tolls - an ETC card from your rental company can save both money and time at toll gates.
