Good service. They didn’t have the car type we booked so they upgraded a bigger car for us.

I have to wait for a long time to get a car because there is one staff at counter service. The car exceeded my expectations, a lot of space for luggage and save oil.

Snow Tire needed to be added seperately in Nissan counter Compare to Japan Local Website, eg: Tocoo Car, They have included the package of Snow Tire and additional Wifi Egg for User

Exceed our expectations for both the service and the serana car itself. We would like to get the snow tyres for traveling in winter but their nissan cube doesnt have the snow tyres so they upgraded to serena model for us, it was fantastic

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

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.

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.

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.

Samurai Car Rental indeed live to the expectation. Great service,and hassle free. Their return process doesn't require you to return in full tank,which really a big advantage. New car as well,so you can be assured of the car condition is tip top.

The kind people at Samurai looked after us very well - of course it is only car hire but they were very efficient and our choice of car was just right - would definitely use them again.

Car service staff were very attentive. Even going so far as to provide snacks for the kids while waiting. Car was small due to my preference but everything else was on point. Although was hoping that I could have gotten the electronic card for toll ways but not too much of an issue for this.

Quick shuttle pickup from the airport but a bit of a struggle to communicate in English when requesting the shuttle. An older microvan car, mechanically in good condition. Drove 1600 Kms without any issues. Small cars are preferable in Japan if you want to drive on narrow local roads.

Staff speaks very little English. GPS language has been set to English but the map and setting are still in Japanese. Not that useful. I recommend using own GPS.
Reviewed: November 30, 2019
Counter staff could not speak English and was inpatient. Another staff who showed us the car used an audio for translation, that was helpful. Note the GPS was only partially English. Strongly recommend non-Japanese drivers to have a backup gps. We were a given sienna.

Like: The mountains with dense forests, the expressways that got us places in a reasonable time. The considerate drivers, no one toots or says angry things - they are too polite for that. ( Although I did get one toot in 14 days, a fair cop. I had to desperately cross three lanes to get to an exit before the lights changed. A big white car came out of nowhere tooted at me, we merged but didn't touch for a few seconds, I slowed down and he took off ahead. Phew!) The Japanese people are friendly everywhere in the country. The island of Hokkaido; it's less populated and it was great to see rice paddies, open fields and green hills. I loved going up into the mountains with our car and going through tree tunnels and seeing waterfalls.
The 7/11 and Lawson stores; they had very good made up Japanese and Western meals and yummy sandwiches plus all the usual mini mart products. They have good carparks right outside the store.
Having the car meant we could get to out of the way places, there was always hotel or guest house nearby.
Mt Fuji, so good we had to stay there twice. The lakes nearby are lovely.
Our car was a cross between a shopping trolley and a hairdryer but it was a nifty little car.
Lots of interesting things to see - Rabbit Island, shrines on the top of mountains, gorges with rapids and waterfalls, Tokyo from the Tokyo Tower and lots, lots more.
Dislike: I read on Google that we couldn't get an ETC card but now I read that foreign visitors can get a 14 day Expressway Pass for 34000 yen. I am confused. Our car didn't have a device to signal the toll gates but could we have got one. An ETC card would have saved a lot of toll fees.
On most of southern Honshu nearly every bit of the flat land has houses, factories and commercial buildings. Finally got to some open space north of Tokyo and saw rice paddies.
Very few animals? No goats, sheep, chooks, ducks, pigs or birds. There were crows and a few ibis. Most animal farming seems to be done in huge sheds,

We had issues with our IDP which wasn't dated (error by Post Office in the UK) but it took an hour to convince Europcar/Times to accept it was valid. Otherwise the Times staff were helpful and the return drop off details very good.

I don't know why ask me to comment on Eurocar as i pick the car from times rental. Anyway the Japanese staff were excellent in everything. Service, car, information. I give 5 star for it and will definitely use this company again!

Like: Car wasn't what we reserved. However, the performance of the car over the rental duration left us in no doubts that its performance was at least equal to, if not superior than, the one we had reserved. The staff were friendly and taught us how to use the in-vehicle GPS to navigate around, and gave many tips as to what to expect when driving in Tokyo.

Dislike: How far I drove. But then again, it was an experience that I will never forget.
