  • Whether you choose Nissan Rent a Car or another supplier, double-check the coverage on your Yonago car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others treat it as an add-on.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire is often a great hack for finding a deal. Check 'Return car to a different location.' Providers sometimes have to move vehicles from one site to another, which means you can snag some great one-way prices on a car for rent in Yonago.

  • From GPS units to mobile Wi-Fi, the right extras can seriously upgrade your ride. Consider which features will help you make the most of your trip when you rent a car in Yonago.

Good to know

  • Rental age requirements aren't the same everywhere. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you could pay extra and face some limits. Check the rules for the supplier you choose before booking your rental in Japan.

  • Planning a trip with the kids? Car seat laws vary depending on where you are, and the right setup may depend on their age, height and weight. Make sure you add the right one to your Yonago car hire booking.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when picking up your rental car: your physical driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Any other requirements will be listed in your booking.

  • Spend a moment familiarising yourself with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, find the lights and blinkers, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stay on the left side of the road in Japan.

  • Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 55kph in urban areas and 85kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Japan is 0.03%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the surest choice is to avoid drinks so you remain legal to drive.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.

  • You'll be using the Japanese yen (JPY) on your trip here. In addition to your credit and debit cards, consider taking some cash for smaller purchases.

  • Spend less time circling for a parking space and more time settling into the comfort of Yado Shiontei. About 3 kilometres from central Yonago, it comes with valet parking, room service and Wi-Fi.
