FAQ

Frequently asked

Is tax included?

Yes. Every estimate and quotation shows the total including 10% consumption tax.

Is the exact model guaranteed?

Two ways to book. Class booking: you book a class and we assign a car of that class (model shown or similar) — its name and photos come with your confirmation. Exact car: choose a vehicle from our stock list and that car is supplied; if it becomes unavailable we offer an equivalent or a full refund, at your choice.

Where do I pick up and return?

Takasaki Station is the main point. Ota Station or Yamaguchi Motors in Ota by arrangement. Meeting instructions come with your confirmation.

Can you deliver the car elsewhere?

You may request another location. Availability and the separate fee are confirmed in the quotation.

Is insurance included?

Insurance is provided with the rental. Coverage, deductibles, exclusions and any optional protection are in your quotation and agreement. Accident deductible and NOC may apply.

Fuel, ETC and child seats?

Full tank at hand-over, return full or pay the refuelling receipt. Use your own ETC card. Child seats on request, subject to availability, for a separate charge.

What if I am late or have an accident?

Ask for an extension before the return time. If an accident occurs, stop safely, assist anyone injured, call police on 110 and contact Yamaguchi Motors immediately on +81 90-8051-1888. Ambulance and fire services are available on 119. Follow the instructions in your rental confirmation and do not arrange repairs without approval.

Can I request a snow-ready or AWD vehicle?

Yes. Choose a Snow Ready class: AWD/4WD with winter tyres in season. AWD alone does not replace winter tyres.
