⚠️ Please note the ¥100,000 excess on Plan B

Plan B covers vehicle repair costs, but the ¥100,000 excess remains payable by the renter. In a single-vehicle accident you may be asked to pay up to ¥100,000 towards repairs. Narrow mountain roads in autumn and snow or ice in winter make minor collisions more likely, so we recommend Plan C (vehicle cover plus NOC waiver), which has no excess.

※ All insurance and coverage applies only to drivers aged 21 and over.

Fuel policy

Please return the car with a full tank. If the tank is not full, we will calculate and charge for the fuel using our standard formula. For full details, please see our terms and conditions.

※ Late returns incur an extension charge.
※ Petrol stations are sparse in the surrounding area, so please allow extra time before returning.
