【東京租車】租車推薦、租車公司比較，東京自駕行全解析！

No arbitrary temporary stopping

Japan is very strict about temporary stopping or illegal parking. Don't have any lucky mentality! If you need to park, it's safest to find a nearby parking lot.
When stopping on the side of the road,please check the curb markings on the sidewalk:

Yellow dashed line, temporary stopping allowed, but no parking

Yellow solid line, completely prohibited from temporary stopping or parking

Illegal parking, fine starting from ¥10,000.

路權分明

Japan has very clear driving rights of way, and there's no leniency in traffic penalties!
Vehicles going straight always have priority, then left-turning vehicles, and finally right-turning vehicles.

Main Road Priority:

On main roads, vehicles already on the road have the right-of-way.
Continue driving and don't suddenly brake when side road vehicles are merging.
Those on side roads should slow down or stop completely before merging when traffic allows.

Pedestrian Priority:

日本是非常重視人本交通，與台灣差異非常大，因此看到路人一定要禮讓，否則吃罰單的會是你！

Reminder | If you unfortunately receive a traffic ticket, remember to go to the local police station (koban 交番所) to pay the fine. If you wait to pay at the rental car company, the amount will increase!

2. Traffic Signals

Traffic lights:

紅綠燈在日本的交通規則中扮演著重要的角色。上排燈號通常是常見的紅綠燈，而下排則是指示直行、左轉和右轉的燈號。

舉例來說：紅燈+直行箭頭：這表示可以繼續直行，但不能轉彎。
紅燈+左轉箭頭：這表示可以繼續左轉，但不能前進或右轉。
綠燈+右轉箭頭：這表示所有方向的車輛都可以安全地繼續行駛，包括右轉。

這些紅綠燈的指示非常重要，並幫助確保道路上的交通有序且安全。請務必遵守這些燈號，以確保你和其他道路使用者的安全。

Flashing Yellow/Red Lights:

在日本的紅綠燈系統中，當遇到路口的「閃爍黃紅燈」時，這表示你需要特別注意，因為這種燈號的含義與普通的紅綠燈略有不同。

Flashing yellow:: Slow down, proceed with caution after checking for other vehicles

Flashing red: Same as a stop sign; come to a complete stop, proceed when safe

3.車機導航設定

日本車用導航機有獨有的Mapcode系統，當今天手機網路不給力時，使用Mapionto search for the mapcode of your destination, then directly enter the found number into the navigation system to easily and accurately reach your destination.

提醒｜在首都圈內開車，若不小心錯過轉彎處不用驚慌，因城市規劃設計，即使走錯路，在下個路口轉也仍可以快速回到正確路線上哦！

4.駕駛人標誌貼紙

These stickers are usually on the front or rear of the car. They're not only information for locals but also something foreign tourists should understand. The stickers allow locals to quickly identify and show appropriate consideration. You can ask the rental car company if they provide these for tourists, or you can inquire at relevant stores in Japan about purchasing them.

Common types include:

Beginner Driver Sign	Elderly Driver Sign
Indicates the driver has less than one year of driving experience	Indicates the driver is elderly
Hearing Impaired Driver Sign	Physically Disabled Driver Sign
Indicates the driver has a hearing impairment	Indicates the driver has a physical disability

Under Japanese regulations, vehicles with these signs should be given consideration. This applies to both tourists renting cars in Japan and local citizens. Failure to do so may result in fines!

5.租車車牌資訊

日本在車牌數字前，會有一個平假名，若為わ、れ，則表示該車為租賃車款。

以上兩種資訊，都會讓在地人能知道車子裡的駕駛者為旅客或是租客，而對你有所禮讓！知道這樣的資訊後是不是也能大大放心了呢？

（但還是需要注意，不能因為是外國旅客就能無視法規，應注意的還是不能少！也讓你的東京自駕更加安全～）

6.租車還車注意點

取車流程

在日本租車，取得車輛之前，請確保你已提前預訂車輛並攜帶必要文件（如護照和駕照…etc）。
取車流程通常如下：

• Arrive at the pick-up location: Arrive at the pick-up location according to the booked time. The location can usually be chosen from options like picking up at the store, at the airport, or being picked up at the airport and taken to the store. Please confirm the relevant pick-up service details with customer service when booking.
  
• Check the vehicle condition: Before signing the rental contract, carefully check the exterior and interior of the vehicle and record any existing damage or defects. This helps avoid unnecessary charges when returning the car.
  
• Sign the contract: When you're satisfied with the vehicle's condition, sign the rental contract with the car rental company. This will also include rental duration, mileage limits, fee details, and insurance options. Please double-check all details carefully.
  
• Payment and deposit:You'll need to pay the rental fee and possibly a deposit. Depending on the services provided by the shop, decide whether to pay by cash or credit card.
  
• Get the car keys: After completing all necessary paperwork, get the car keys. You're now ready to set off.

還車流程

When renting a car in Japan, smoothly returning the car at the end of the rental period is also crucial. Here's a detailed analysis of the return process:

• Schedule return time: In the rental contract, make sure you understand the return date and time. Plan ahead to ensure you won't be late returning the vehicle.
  
• Arrive at the return location: Go to the designated return location, usually the same as the pick-up location. If you've chosen a different return location or airport return service, please confirm with the shop or customer service when booking the vehicle!
  
• Clean and refuel: Before returning, clean the interior of the car and make sure no personal items are left behind. Also, ensure the vehicle has enough fuel to avoid additional refueling charges. Different shops have different fuel policies, some require the same fuel level as at pick-up, while others require a full tank return. Be sure to confirm when signing the contract!
  
• Return inspection: When returning, the rental company staff will check the vehicle's condition. They will compare it with the damage or defect information recorded when you picked up the car and ensure there's no new damage upon return.
  
• Sign return documents: Once the vehicle condition check is complete, you'll be asked to sign return documents confirming that the rental transaction is complete.
  
• Deposit refund: If you paid a deposit, it will be refunded according to the contract terms. This may take some time to process, so please inquire about the details when returning the car.

Understanding the pick-up and return processes can help you avoid unnecessary troubles and ensure a smooth overall rental experience. Follow the rental company's instructions and record all relevant information to ensure quick resolution of any issues that may arise.

東京租車FAQ

幾歲才可以在東京租車？

A: Many rental companies restrict rentals to those under 20 years old or those who have held a license for less than a year. Therefore, before renting, always double-check that you meet the rental company's restrictions!

東京過路費怎麼算？

Ａ：日本高速公路收費分為現場付現的「一般」車道以及「ETC」專用車道兩種方式

當今天車流量較高時，一般車道可能會有微塞車狀況，這時ETC就是更為方便的選擇
(仍需注意ETC車道限速20km以下，不然會有感應不到的狀況發生！)

一般車道又會分成人工收費or機器收費，無論哪一種，都建議備好零錢或千元鈔票，在繳費上會更為快速哦～
