Great value 💯💯 The pick-up and return process was simple ✅✅ The staff also explained Korean transportation in detail. Some gas stations don't accept foreign cards, so it's safer to have enough cash. 500 kilometers is about 60,000-70,000 won. Traffic in Seoul is very congested, so I recommend adding an hour to the navigation system time. The price for returning the car after the time is very high ⚠️⚠️

Support is available in English and Korean. This was my first time renting a car overseas, but the service was excellent. The vehicle's interior was spotlessly clean and equipped with a navigation system, making it easy to drive. The other party contacted me via WhatsApp a few days before the reservation, so I was able to confirm the details and the store location in advance, and I felt at ease on the day. The store is easily accessible from the downtown area. Overall, the staff responded courteously and promptly to all of my inquiries. A 150,000 won deposit is required in addition to the reservation payment. If you use the provided Hi-Pass card (for paying highway tolls), a 20% deduction will be applied, and this will also cover any violations. The remaining deposit will be refunded approximately one month later. As long as you have basic language skills and understand how to use a rental car, I think you can use the service with confidence. I would like to use the service again next time.

The car was new, which was nice. It had only driven 4,000 km, and the interior, black box, and Hi-Pass were all great.

This company provided excellent and sincere service, responding promptly to any questions. The additional charge for returning the car late was also very reasonable. We were particularly touched that, knowing we were rushing to catch a flight, they waited for us at the parking lot entrance (though it was raining quite heavily, of course). The staff waited for us even in the rain, let us park our car, and quickly inspected it before immediately directing us to the terminal. It was incredibly warm service. I highly recommend this company.

The rental fee was affordable, and the car was in good condition. The staff member who brought the car to me was very friendly and helpful, which I appreciated. I'll definitely remember the experience. I'll definitely use them again next time I come to Korea. I hope you prosper!

We got a beautiful Kia K3. The vehicle had already done over 90,000 kilometers and a few blemishes here and there (documented, of course), but it was top-notch for the price.
The rental agent was super helpful. We stayed in close contact via WhatsApp, so the handover was completely hassle-free. He even met us at the train station so we didn't have to carry our luggage. Returning the car was also a breeze: leaving it with a full tank and sending two photos. If everything goes smoothly with the deposit refund, I'll give it 5⭐️+.
I would recommend it without hesitation.
Thank you. We had a great trip through Korea with the car.

8 Things You Should Know About Car Rental in Seoul
Want to explore Seoul and beyond on your own terms? Renting a car gives you the freedom to hit spots like Nami Island and Seoraksan that are tricky to reach by public transport. Here's what you need to know about renting a car in Seoul.
1. Incheon Airport Car Rental Guide
Incheon Airport rental car center is at Incheon's Transportation Center, connected to Terminal 1 by a free shuttle (every 5-10 minutes). From Terminal 2, take the shuttle bus marked 'Car Rental' — it's about a 15-minute ride. Rental companies available include Lotte, SK Rent-a-Car, and AJ Rent-a-Car, offering better deals than Hertz or Avis. Book ahead during holidays like Chuseok and Seollal when prices can double.
You can compare and book car rentals at Trip.com for the best rates.
2. Korean Driver's License Requirements
You'll need your valid home country license and an International Driving Permit (IDP). Most rental companies require drivers to be over 21 with at least one year of experience. Keep both documents with you while driving, as police checks are common in Seoul.
3. Best Cars for Seoul Driving
| Car Type | Best For |
| Hyundai Avante / Kia K3 | City driving and day trips |
| Kia Carnival | Families |
| Hyundai Tucson / Kia Sportage | Mountain trips and more power required |
All rentals come with automatic transmission and built-in navigation.
4. Seoul Driving Tips and Rules
- Drive on the right side.
- Speed limits are 60-80 km/h in Seoul, strictly enforced by cameras.
- Rush hour can add hours to your trip—avoid if possible.
- No right turns on red unless there's a green arrow.
- Use Naver Maps or Kakao Maps for navigation, as most roads around Seoul have English signs.
5. Popular Day Trips from Seoul
| Destination | Travel Time | Additional Tips |
| Nami Island | 1.5 hours | Take the Gapyeong exit off the Seoul-Chuncheon highway. |
| Seoraksan National Park | 2.5 hours | Great for autumn colors. |
| Everland | 1 hour | Easier by car than shuttle buses. |
Remember to factor in toll costs — most highways around Seoul are toll roads.
6. Parking in Seoul
| Parking Type | Cost | Tips |
| Shopping Malls | 2,000-4,000 won/hour | Look for 'PR' signs for public parking lots. |
| Tourist Spots | Varies | Many have their own parking lots. |
| Central Seoul | 10,000 won for 2-3 hours | Parking buildings are your best bet. |
7. Money-Saving Tips
- Book directly through Korean rental sites (Lotte or SK) for better rates. You can also compare car rental companies home and abroad on Trip.com.
- Avoid weekends when rates jump.
- Check credit cards for rental insurance before purchasing extra coverage.
- Fill up away from highways for better gas prices.
