Contact information for rental car stores

For stores located in an airport or a station, transportation services from the airport to the store may be available. Refer to the store information for the availability of transportation services.

3.Select options.

You can choose whether to use the exemption compensation system

When renting a car in Japan, you have the option to purchase Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) in case you get into an accident. We recommend that our customers purchase this insurance coverage for safe travel.

Options such as child seats can be selected

In Japan, drivers are required by law to use a child seat for children under 6 years old. Make sure you select this option if you are riding the vehicle with a child under the age of 6.

*The Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)
A single car accident may cost you more than the auto repair bill. In addition to repair costs, you may need to compensate for any damaged property as well as for business interruption inflicted on the car rental company since the damaged vehicle cannot be used for a certain period of time. This means that the total cost is likely to swell higher than you would expect. In case of personal injury or death, the settlement amount may be as high as hundreds of millions of yen. Covered by insurance or warranty, you can prepare for such worst case scenarios.

4.Confirm the fee and proceed to booking.

If you have an account, log in, otherwise register

After selecting your options and confirming the fee and other relevant information, click the booking button to proceed to booking. Since Jalan Car rentals requires an account for booking, we recommend you make an account in advance for easy booking.

Enter driver information on the reservation screen

On the booking screen, enter the information about the driver. If you are taking a flight before or after riding the vehicle, enter the flight number so that the local staff will be able to assist you smoothly.

Store the received email until you use it

Once the booking is complete, you will receive the booking confirmation at the email address you provided. Make sure you save this email since it confirms that your booking is complete. This confirmation email will be helpful in case you forget the name of your rental store or the pick-up time.

7.Go directly to your car rental store.

Listen to the explanation at the rental car store

On the pick-up date, go directly to your store. Arrive there 30 minutes before the departure for instructions and administrative process. Make sure you clearly understand the instructions provided for fueling the vehicle and the return procedure.

Check available payment methods and pay

You will pay the rental fee at the store. Confirm and pay the rental fee. Acceptable payment methods may vary by store. Contact your store in advance if you are not sure if they accept your credit card or electronic money. Return the vehicle to the store where you picked it up (or the store you selected for returning the vehicle when booking).
