Frequently asked questions
Can I rent a car from Itami Airport (ITM)?
Arrive at Itami Airport (ITM) and then head for Europcar or Hertz, both a short distance away. You'll be exploring the sights and sounds of Kyoto in your reliable rental in no time at all.
What happens if I need to cancel my Kyoto car reservation?
Depending on the rental agreement, you could be eligible for a refund. Many prepaid reservations give a total refund if you cancel at least six hours in advance of pickup. Got any queries? If you can't find the answer in your itinerary, our Customer Service Portal is here 24/7.
Why should I rent a Kyoto car with Expedia?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Kyoto with Expedia?
It's easy to score an awesome deal with Expedia. Simply choose the car class, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off points, and compare offers from popular providers. Make even bigger savings when you bundle your Kyoto car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
What do you need to rent a car in Kyoto?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
Can I drive in Kyoto with my U.S. Driver's license?
No, so we recommend getting an International Driving Permit. To road trip around Kyoto, you'll need to carry it alongside your U.S. License. Obtaining this permit is easy and should be done before your departure date.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Kyoto?
Whether you have plans to stay in Kyoto or travel beyond, it's easy to book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find incredible long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Kyoto car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little research. Found a Kyoto supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? That's great! Just take note that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in will have all the details you need.
