Why is this confirmation necessary?

Even if you hold an International Driving Permit (IDP), whether you are permitted to drive in Japan depends on the country of issuance, the issuing authority, and the format of the permit.
We have had cases where customers arrived at the shop expecting to rent a vehicle, but we were unable to provide one because they did not meet the eligibility requirements.
This flowchart helps customers check their driving eligibility in advance, preventing misunderstandings and ensuring a smooth rental experience.

Start Checking

• Have an International Driving Permit (IDP)
• Have a driver's license issued by one of the following countries or regions, along with a Japanese translation.
  Germany, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Monaco, Taiwan
• Have a valid Japanese driver's license

Notes:
This simulation is for reference only. Your final eligibility to drive will be determined at the rental location after checking your driver's license, passport, actual entry date into Japan, rental dates, and other required information.
