FAQ

Hakone Shop - Common Questions

How do I get to the Hakone Shop from the station?

Our Hakone Shop is a 15-minute walk from Hakone-Yumoto Station or a 10-minute walk from Iriuda Station. Both stations are served by the Hakone Tozan Line.

Can you deliver the car to Odawara Shinkansen Station?

Yes. Odawara Station delivery is one of our most-requested options - perfect when you are arriving by Shinkansen from Tokyo (~35 min), Kyoto, or Osaka. Pick the Odawara delivery location at the pickup step and a flat delivery fee is added to your booking.

Can you deliver the car to my hotel or ryokan in Hakone?

Yes. We deliver to hotels and traditional ryokans across the Hakone area - including Hakone-Yumoto, Gora, Sengokuhara, and Lake Ashi - with flexible timing to match ryokan check-in. Return pickup from your hotel is also available.

Where exactly will you meet me at the station?

Our staff will message you the exact meeting point a day before pickup. Typically we meet at the main station exit (Odawara West Exit or Hakone-Yumoto front plaza) so you do not have to walk with luggage.

What documents do I need to rent a car in Hakone?

You need a valid driver's license from your home country PLUS an International Driving Permit (IDP) based on the 1949 Geneva Convention. Residents of Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco, and Taiwan need an official Japanese translation of their license instead.

Can I drop the car off in Kawaguchiko or another area?

Yes, one-way drop-off is available at our partner locations including Kawaguchiko, Yamanakako, and Fujiyoshida. An additional one-way fee applies. Simply select your drop-off location during booking.

Is insurance included in the rental price?

Yes. Comprehensive basic insurance is included in every rental. For total peace of mind, you can add our optional ZLC (Damage & NOC Zero) package, which reduces your self-liability to JPY 0 in the event of an accident.
