Cheap Car Hire in Fukuoka from £18

Whether you are looking for an economy or a luxury car hire in Fukuoka, you must be 18 years or older to hire a car. Once you meet this requirement, then bring your valid non-Japanese driving licence and passport with you to collect your hire car in Fukuoka. You will also need an international driver permit issued by your home country. Your permit and licence will not be valid if they are issued from your countries embassy, once already in Fukuoka, they must have been issued in your home country before arrival to the area. If you have a Taiwanese, Belgian, Swedish, French, German, Slovenian, or Monacan driving licence, you won't be required to get an international driving licence. All you have to do is bring your driving licence with its Japanese translation.

When driving your Fufuoka car hires, you will be driving on the left side of the road. Drinking and driving is strictly prohibited. Most road signs on major roads are in Japanese and English, making them easy to navigate. The speed limits are 80 to 100 km/h (50-62 mph) on expressways, 40 km/h (25 mph) in urban areas, 30 km/h (18.6 mph) in smaller side streets and underdeveloped areas. Every person in the car hire vehicle must be wearing a seat belt at all times, and children under the age of six years old are required to be secured in an age-appropriate child seat.

Road conditions tend to be good, although side streets in the city can be rather narrow making it hard for larger vehicles to navigate. If you are planning on exploring the outskirts of the city, we recommend a small or compact car hire such as Suzuki Wagon R or a Nissan Versa Note. Both cars are automatics which is recommended for driving in high traffic or on curvy roads. Traffic congestion can be high in the Fukuoka city centre, which again requires a small compact car to maximise fuel efficiency and to make the driving experience easier.

There is no on-street parking allowed in Fukuoka, when you go to sightseeing spots, you'll have to park your car hire in a parking lot. Parking lots near tourist attractions generally charge a flat fee for use. The parking lot fees range from ¥200-700 (£1.50-4.57) and are regulated by their location, meaning the closer to the city, the more expensive it is. A lot of leisure facilities, public accommodations and shopping malls have free parking lots attached to their buildings. A unique type of parking lot you will find in Fukuoka uses low barriers underneath the cars that raise up and block each individual vehicle. This type of parking is charged at an hourly rate.
