How to book the best car rental deals in Mishima

We’re frequently named as the most trusted travel search site out there. We scan hundreds of trusted travel providers and put it all in one place, allowing you to instantly compare car hire rates and then book with no fees. Here's how to get the most out of your Mishima car rental search.

How to find a cheap car hire deal in Mishima

  • Pick up a cheap rental car in Mishima and start your adventure for around $83 a day. From short drives to cross-country jaunts, we'll match you with a rental that works for you.

  • $68 is the cheapest daily price offered for a rental in Mishima.

  • Staying on a bit longer? Book a weekly rental from $603 and explore more than just the top attractions.

  • To score the best price on a Mishima car hire, it's a good idea to book in advance. Rates tend to climb as your travel dates approach, and waiting too long might mean missing out.

  • Nissan Rent a Car, NIPPON Rent A Car and Rakuten are among the top-rated providers in the city. They're a great starting point for comparing offers.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Mishima car hire policy, whether you book with Nissan Rent a Car or another supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire is often a great hack for finding a deal. Check 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often need to move vehicles between branches, which means you can bag some fantastic one-way prices on a car for rent in Mishima.

  • Skip the hidden fees by choosing a ride with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Begin and end your trip with a full tank, and only pay for what you actually use.

  • Pack more into your journey by picking a rental with 'Unlimited mileage.' Located under the 'Policies' filter, these rides let you drive as far as you like without paying more.

  • Offering daily rates of around $151, this provider is next in line.

  • The third option also shows up on the list of top-value suppliers. Drive off in one of their rentals for roughly $126 a day.

  • If you're having trouble deciding which wheels are right for you, consider something from the Mini rental category. It's the most commonly booked type of car in Mishima.

Compare car hire types in Mishima

  • Small: Whether you're weaving through city traffic or taking a quick trip, this car category delivers big value in a small package. Including mini and economy classes, you can look forward to excellent fuel efficiency and easy handling.

  • Medium: Choose from compact and intermediate cars that combine comfort, space and fuel efficiency. Easy to manoeuvre in cities and roomy enough for longer drives, they make sense for just about any journey.

  • Large: You've got the kids, the toys, the bags, the lot. Large vehicles have got the space to handle it all without breaking a sweat. Ideal for longer drives, this Mishima car hire category includes full-size cars.

  • SUV: Enjoy a higher driving position and a commanding view of the journey ahead in an SUV. Whether you're carving through winding trails or cruising along uninterrupted highways, many offer all-wheel drive to help you take on any road.

  • Van: If you're searching for a car for rent in Mishima that fits a small crowd (and all their stuff), a van has space to spare. Including commercial vans and trucks, they're a great choice for group outings, moving or business use.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Excess insurance covers the fee you'd have to pay if your Mishima car hire is damaged or stolen. While not mandatory, it's worth considering for extra protection. Keep in mind that not all insurance policies are the same, so make sure you know exactly what's included.

  • From navigation systems to mobile Wi-Fi hotspots, the right extras can make all the difference. Think about which extras will suit your needs when you rent a car in Mishima.

Good to know

  • Age requirements can vary by supplier and even car type, so be clear on the rules before you book. Some companies in Japan may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.

  • If the kids are coming with you, find out if you need to add a car seat to your Mishima car hire reservation. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to ride.

  • Bring the right documents to keep the pick-up process smooth. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (no electronic copies) and another form of photo ID. Also bring a credit card that can cover the deposit. If anything else is expected, it'll be listed in your booking.

  • Driving in Japan may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stay on the left side of the road.

  • Keep within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 55kph in urban areas and 85kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Japan is 0.03%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, the only way to be sure you're safe to drive is to avoid drinking.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic in this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.

  • The Japanese yen (JPY) is the currency you'll be using for general expenses and outings. Pay with a debit or credit card when it's convenient, but have some cash ready when electronic payments aren't an option.

  • Japanese is the language most commonly spoken throughout this country.
