CAR RENTAL

If you're planning to attend the F1 race in Suzuka and desire the freedom to explore at your own pace, opting for a car rental is a convenient choice. While you can arrange a rental upon arrival at the airport, it's advisable to make reservations in advance through online platforms for optimal convenience. Utilising car rental comparison websites often leads to better deals and ensures availability.

However, keep in mind that for foreigners it would be challenging to drive a car on Japanese roads.

There are branches of well-known international car rental companies in all major Japanese cities, each offering a diverse selection of vehicles to suit different preferences and requirements. This not only provides a method of transportation in advance but often also leads to cost savings and guarantees a preferred vehicle upon arrival.

Car rental options at major Japanese airports:

• Sixt
• Avis
• Europcar
• Budget

Pay attention to the terms and conditions of the insurance and other additional services. For example, with some rental companies, renting a sat-nav can cost nearly as much as renting a whole car. All you need to do is bring a mobile phone holder from home and use a navigation app.

Before you set off on your journey, don't forget to check the local traffic rules.
