CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON TIMES IN TOKYO

Like: Great car and easy to find location

Excellent.

New car. Service very nice for all.

Very good.

Would be good to provide the option of going directly to the Haneda pick up yard instead of airport counter, as the yard is located just near many airport hotels about 15 mins from the airport itself.

The car we hired was clean and in good condition. They did not have a E Toll pass so we had to have cash on hand to go through tolls. We requested snow tires which were fitted but didn’t give us a window scraper so we had to buy one. No other complaints

The pick up service from the airport was terrible. I emailed there customer service to let them know my flight arrived after the normal working hours at the terminal checking desk and was told that if I was there by 10pm that was fine. I used there counter phone at 9-20pm to arrange a pick up and they kept using excuses not to come to the airport, saying I had cancelled the booking, my international driving permit was not valid even though they had not seen it and may be I couldn't drive in Japan even though they drive on the same side of the road as Uk. To get a pick up I had to ask a very helpful young man from the adjoining car hire counter to talk on the phone for me. He even photocopied my passport and both driving licences and emailed them to the Times car depot. It took him until 10-15pm to get them to agree to come and collect us from the airport. We had to wait another 30 minutes whilst the airport was closing down for the night. When we got to the depot it took a long time to sort out the paper work and then we were given quite an old car with not much tread on the rear tyres despite the fact I was hiring for over 3 weeks.

Like: Nice car, love driving it and it saves alot on petrol!!
Dislike: Seriously nothing.

When picking up we asked for the unlimited toll pass which we thought they charged us for... I paid for something extra about the toll pass, then on drop off they made me pay an extra 30 000 yen. After all that they wouldn’t even drop us off at our hotel (min drive away from rental place) but instead drove us 20 mins back to the airport so we could buy train tickets back to the same area as the rental car area and then walk 15 mins to our hotel. When picking up the car I inspected the outside of the vehicle for any prior damage and the rental guy seemed insulted that I didn’t just trust everything was accounted for. Luckily I didn’t because there was a giant dent in the side of the passanger door which I’m sure they would have charged us extra for had I not pointed it out and taken photos as proof that it was like that when we picked up.
