Frequently Asked Questions about Car Rental in Okinawa

Prices can vary based on the company, the season, and the vehicle, but most locations offer discounts if you reserve a car prior to your arrival in Okinawa. The cheapest automatic cars cost from 12$ to 27$ per day. Larger cars can be more expensive due to their higher fuel consumption, so you may want to choose a smaller vehicle, which will also be advantageous on narrower roads.
There is always an increase in demand for car rentals in Okinawa during the summer months, which drives up the prices. During the off-season, particularly the winter, the prices are significantly lower. The duration of your rental also affects the total price. Typically, renting a vehicle for a longer period of time results in a lower daily rate, thus a five-day rental may cost only somewhat more than a three-day rental. If possible, consider spending at least a week exploring Okinawa.

There are several insurance tiers available. The various insurance categories in Okinawa are described as follows:

  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) - It restricts the customer's liability throughout the rental period and establishes the maximum sum that the customer will be required to pay in the event of damages.
  • Theft Protection (TP) - If your automobile is stolen, this waiver reduces your liability to the vehicle's deductible/excess amount (proof required are a police report and the car keys). TP is typically included in the cost of renting a car.
  • Third Party Liability (TPL) - often referred to as Supplemental Liability Insurance, Extended Protection, Liability Protection, etc., covers both material and intangible losses caused to other people's vehicles, property, and even medical costs.

Unlimited third-party liability insurance is required in Okinawa and is automatically bundled into the cost of all car rentals. Don't forget to carry evidence of insurance if you are traveling with your own vehicle.

When traveling, renting a car is nearly always a good decision because it allows you to see sites at your own pace and on your own schedule. It's always nice to be able to avoid crowded bus or rail times and go in the early morning or late at night if it suits you better.

Choose a car based on what you want to do on your trip. Small cars like the VW Polo or Ford Ka can be used to get around the city and its surroundings.
The Mercedes CLA is the most popular car in the Standard category. Its starting price is 21$ per day from EAST COAST, and its rating average is 9 based on more than 1000 customer reviews. Opel Mokka from EUROPCAR is the most reasonably priced rental vehicle in Okinawa. Just 26$ per day is the cost.
Most of the rental cars in Okinawa are manual. Automatic cars cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.

The rental car companies in Okinawa can only guarantee a certain type of car, not an exact make or model. Car rental companies have cars from many different brands in the same category. These cars should have the same features that were confirmed at the time of the reservation. Here is an explanation of the various car classes:

Car rental models

You may be able to reserve a specific model in some cases. You will notice a special note next to the vehicle in the search results if such a possibility exists.

When you pick up the vehicle, the same card must be used to guarantee the rental agreement. There are two card kinds we accept:

  • We will accept a credit card as a guarantee.
  • We will accept a debit card if purchase our Platinum Insurance plan for the duration of your rental period.

Rent a car without a deposit

Just bear in mind that the cardholder/renter and any additional drivers must sign the rental agreement in person at the time of pick-up.
