The speed limits in Japan are between 80 and 100 km/h on expressways, 30 km/h in side streets, 40 km/h in urban areas, and between 50 and 60 km/h elsewhere unless states otherwise.
Although Japan has prided itself as having the most efficient public transportation systems around large metropolitan areas around Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, less known sceneries are definitely worth and handy exploring by car. Here is a brief guide aiming at helping you drive comfortably on Japanese roads.

Q5. Can I pick up my car at one location and return it at different location?

Easy and convenience. Waiting time for pick up from airport is around 10 mins. Pick up car procedure is completed in 15 mins. Thus, spend 30- 40mins in total to pick up car. The Toyota raize ( small suv) is just nice to fit 4 handcarry luggage.

When picking up the car, they asked us on the spot for an additional AU$500 deposit which they would return after 30 days. Their card machines didn’t work with our travel cards which hadn’t had any issues for the entire trip, so we had to go to a 7/11 to get cash. We exchanged bank info to facilitate our refund. After 30 days, we received nothing back, so I reached out, and after 3 weeks and many lengthy exchanges of information, we received our deposit back. Except it was AU$380, as we incurred all the transfer fees which seem to be exorbitantly high. No doubt they would have happily refunded us nothing if we hadn’t reached out. I would not recommend renting with this company.

the counter staff tried his best. I tried to understand from his point of view. The only problem i had was the battery failure to solve it promptly or give us adequate time to continue our journey . Thankfully , we have full insurance coverage against battery issue and rescue service.

- Customer service was very proactive in reaching out once the booking is confirmed. Along the way till the collection, there was regular touch point to finalise my booking to add snow tyres, etc rental etc - Pick up at Airport which is very helpful. They were in contact to help me locate them - No counter at the airport, handover was carried out at the carpark - Handover was in Tokyo at my hotel which is very convenient - Rather surprised and disappointed with the condition of the car. Rather old, lots of scratches and just look unappealing - Performance of the car was average. The car lacks power and it is especially challenging in Japan's hilly condition

The car given is spacious however it is an old car. The car front car lights are not bright enough, wiper water is not refill and the car body is full of dims. Luckily, I took the video before we took over the car to prove we didn’t damage the car. The service crew in Tokyo is excellent and he gained most respect from us.

First off, Flight noticed that my pick up date did not match my arrival in Okinawa and messaged to confirm date the car was needed. Next, they agreed to pick me up at a convenient rail stop and take me to the car, saving me from having to navigate the airport and my way to the rental office on my first visit to Okinawa. The car was an upgrade over the typical American economy car - very nice! Drop-off was a cinch as well. I drove to the office and the staff took us directly to the airport! Excellent customer service.. would definitely recommend.

The car rental company service staff is very helpful and accommodating. Seeing that they weather is cold, he continuously looked after my well-being and asked me to wait in a car when he settled the handover procedures. The process was smooth and the staff was caring and thoughtful. Definitely will hire their services when I am back in Japan.

The car was sufficient with enough space for all 7 of us. It was an older model and the GPS was only in Japanese but it was not an issue for us as we had our cell phones and an international data plan. The agent was in touch with us through whatsapp and was very responsive whenever we had a question or any other concern. They met us with the car at Tokyo airport at the start of our trup and also picked up the car from our hotel in Kyoto, which was very convenient and amazing in terms of service. Overall, we had no issues with the rental company or any of their agents. Despite the agent who met us for pickup and drop-off not speaking english, we got everything taken care of and all the documents squared away with no issue.

Service counter ask us to fill up where we going and where we staying, knowing that, they do not offer any highway or toll package that we could save half of the toll fee (we saw it in the notice board at the rest area), even the office don’t have such notice too. Moreover, they do not even ask if I need a ETC (smart Toll card) until I asked for it. Pick up office need to improve. Whereas at the drop off office at Hakata station, was very good and the staffs are very kind.
