Japan Campervan Rental Tips
Essential information before renting
License Requirements
International Driving Permit (IDP) required. Taiwanese license needs Japanese translation, available from JAF or Taiwan motor vehicle offices.
Drive on the Left
Japan drives on the left with steering wheel on the right. Take extra care at intersections and roundabouts.
Booking Timing
Book 2-3 months ahead for peak season (summer, cherry blossom) to secure the best prices and vehicle selection.
Insurance Basics
We recommend full coverage (CDW). Most platforms include basic insurance, but extra coverage gives peace of mind.
Fuel Tips
Japan has full-service and self-service stations. Most campervans use diesel—don't fill up with the wrong fuel.
Parking Rules
Japan strictly enforces parking rules. Use Michi-no-Eki (roadside stations) or designated campervan parking for overnight stays.
