What do I need to rent a car in Fukuoka?<\/strong><br \/>\nA Geneva-1949 International Driving Permit, your home country driving licence, your passport, a booking confirmation, and a credit card in the main driver&#8217;s name \u2014 all originals. The minimum driving age in Japan is 18. Travellers from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco, Slovenia, Estonia and Taiwan bring an official Japanese translation of their licence instead of an IDP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. How much does a rental car cost per day in Fukuoka?<\/strong><br \/>\nA 5-seat compact SUV is roughly \u00a57,500\u20139,500 per day in low season (April\u2013May, October\u2013November) and \u00a511,000\u201313,500 or more during summer holidays, New Year and long weekends. Across all operators and car sizes, daily rates in Fukuoka span about \u00a55,000 to \u00a530,000.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Do I need the Kyushu Expressway Pass (KEP)?<\/strong><br \/>\nOnly if you are covering long distances across several prefectures \u2014 north Kyushu down to Kagoshima, for example. For a Fukuoka\u2013Kumamoto or Fukuoka\u2013Yufuin round trip, paying tolls with a rented ETC card (about \u00a5330) is normally cheaper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Can I pick up in Fukuoka and return somewhere else?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes \u2014 all seven operators listed here support one-way rentals. A repositioning fee applies, scaled to the distance between branches, from a few thousand yen to over ten thousand. Times CAR RENTAL waives it for drop-offs within 20 km inside the same prefecture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Is CDW enough, or do I need the full-cover plan?<\/strong><br \/>\nCDW (about \u00a51,100\u20131,430 per day) waives the \u00a550,000\u2013100,000 damage excess, but it does <em>not<\/em> waive the NOC business-loss charge of \u00a520,000\u201350,000. If you want zero exposure, take the full-cover or &#8220;RAP&#8221;-style plan that includes NOC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What car size do I need for four people with luggage?<\/strong><br \/>\nA crossover SUV handles two 28-inch cases plus a cabin bag for two or three adults. Four adults with a full case each should book a 7-seater or minivan, where folding the third row frees space for four to five large cases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Should I rent from Fukuoka Airport or Hakata Station?<\/strong><br \/>\nTake the airport if you are driving straight out of the city on arrival day. Take Hakata Station or Tenjin if your first days are spent in central Fukuoka \u2014 you avoid \u00a51,500\u20132,000 per night in downtown parking and skip city traffic on the day you land.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What do I do if I scratch the car?<\/strong><br \/>\nCall 110 immediately, even for a minor scrape or a solo incident, then contact the rental operator. The police accident certificate is what makes your CDW and NOC cover valid; without it, the repair and business-loss costs fall entirely on you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id='wrap-up-a-kyushu-trip-is-built-around-the-car-not-the-timetable'  id=\"boomdevs_19\" class=\"main-head\" >Wrap-up \u2014 <span class=\"__text_accent2\">a Kyushu trip is built around the car, not the timetable<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hokkaido and Okinawa have long been Japan&#8217;s classic self-drive regions, and Kyushu has quietly joined them.
