Age requirements for rentals can vary by company and even car type, so be clear on the rules before you book. Some companies in Japan may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you're outside the typical age range, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.

Keep within local speed limits of about 55kph in built-up areas and around 85kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.
