  • The coverage Nissan Rent a Car or another supplier offers for your Yonago car hire can vary, so always go over the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will provide it for an extra charge.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire is often a great hack for cheaper deals. Simply select 'Return car to a different location.' Providers sometimes need to move vehicles from one site to another, which means you can score some awesome one-way prices on a car for rent in Yonago.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. You won't get hit with overpriced refueling charges either.

  • Want to explore freely without worrying about the number of miles you cover? Find rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and travel as far as you like without the extra costs.

  • The third option won't stretch your budget either. You'll pay roughly 88 € a day with this supplier.

Compare car hire types in Yonago

  • Small: Whether you're weaving through city traffic or simply planning a quick trip, this car category offers big value in a small package. Including mini and economy classes, you can expect easy handling and great mileage.

  • Medium: A reliable pick when you want something that's easy to drive but with a few more features. This category includes compact and intermediate models that offer a bit of extra space compared to smaller options.

  • Large: Long drives fly by in this Yonago car hire category. Also known as full-size, they have the engine size to match the journey. The extra legroom and comfort make them a great choice for groups of friends and families.

  • SUV: Get a higher ground clearance and an open view of the journey ahead in an SUV. Whether you're navigating rugged backcountry or cruising along uninterrupted highways, many come with all-wheel drive to help you tackle any road.

  • Van: Choose this category of vehicle when you need a car for rent in Yonago that makes light work of heavy loads. Featuring commercial vans and trucks, they're designed to carry more, whether that's supplies, baggage or big groups.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Excess insurance covers the cost you'd have to pay if your Yonago car hire is damaged or stolen. While not mandatory, it helps cover you in a tough spot. Just remember that insurance policies vary between providers, so make sure you know exactly what's included.

  • Upgrade your ride with extras like a GPS unit and reverse camera. They can make your drive smoother and more enjoyable when you rent a car in Yonago.

Good to know

  • Age requirements for rentals 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 unlock the right options.

  • If the kids are tagging along, check if you should add a car seat to your Yonago car hire reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.

  • You'll need to hand over a few things when collecting your rental car: a valid driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card to cover the deposit amount. Debit cards usually aren't accepted. Your booking will show the full list of what's required.

  • Get familiar with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stay on the left side of the road in Japan.

  • Stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 55kph in built-up areas and 85kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.03% applies in Japan. The only sure way to stay legal to drive is to skip the drinks.

  • One of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination is around 8am. Make life easier by steering clear of rush hours in general.

  • You'll be using the Japanese yen (JPY) here. In addition to your debit and credit cards, consider having some cash handy for minor purchases.

  • Japanese is the language you'll hear most often in this country.
