  • To land a cheap rental car in Naha, it's a good idea to book in advance. Prices generally climb as your travel dates approach, and waiting too long might mean missing out.

  • Find your perfect ride with Rakuten, YOU I RENT A CAR or Orix. These are some of the most popular brands offering car hire deals in Naha.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Naha car hire policy, whether you book with Rakuten or a different supplier. Some may charge separately for it instead of including it in the base rental.

  • Look into booking a one-way rental. You might be able to lock in a good deal if the provider needs to relocate some of its vehicles. Discover the best available rates for a car for rent in Naha by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Save money on fuel by choosing a car hire in Naha that offers a 'Fair fuel policy.' You collect your vehicle with a full tank and return it full, so you only pay for what you use.

  • Want to explore more without stressing about the number of miles you clock up? Search for rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and travel as far as you like without the extra charges.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Adding excess insurance to your Naha car hire offers peace of mind. It protects you from paying a big excess fee in case of a collision or theft. Insurance policies aren't the same across all rental providers, so compare before you commit.

  • Make your trip smoother when you rent a car in Naha by adding some nifty extras. Think things like a GPS unit to be your go-everywhere guide, or reverse cameras that take the pain out of parking.

Good to know

  • Rental age requirements aren't always the same across the board. Companies can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you could be hit with extra charges or rules. Check the specific rules for each supplier before booking your car hire in Japan.

  • Travel plans include the kids? Car seat rules differ from place to place, and the correct setup may depend on their age, weight and height. Find out if you need to add one to your Naha car hire booking.

Hit the road: Where to drive from Naha
