Important comparison note

“Not confirmed” does not mean a provider refuses international visitors. It means this guide cannot verify the provider's current document, language or registration conditions. JR Rent-A-Car uses the Nissan counter, and car-share services require advance membership.

International visitors

Check eligibility,
then book with confidence.

Nationality is not the deciding condition. Nico Nico Iiyama accepts eligible international driving documents when the renter can personally complete the Japanese contract and safety explanation. Interpreters and translation apps cannot be used to make the agreement.

Bring the originals
  1. Your passport
  2. A driving licence valid in Japan
  3. Where required, an authorised Japanese translation of your foreign licence
  4. A Japanese accommodation address and reachable mobile number

Accepted documents depend on the issuing country. An International Driving Permit must follow the 1949 Geneva Convention. A permit issued under a different convention may not be valid in Japan.
