What Do I Need to Know About Refueling a Rental Car in Japan?
Most agencies at KMQ have a 'full-to-full' policy, requiring you to return the car with a full tank. Confirm the correct fuel type (regular, high-octane, or diesel), which is often marked on the fuel cap. Keep the final gas station receipt from a station near the airport to present as proof upon return, avoiding potential service fees.

How Can I Avoid Hidden Car Rental Fees in Komatsu?
To avoid surprise charges, carefully review your rental agreement. Understand the insurance coverage (CDW), opt for a full-to-full fuel policy, and thoroughly inspect the vehicle for damage before driving. Also, inquire about fees for extras like ETC cards for tolls, additional drivers, or late returns to ensure a transparent rental experience at Komatsu Airport.

How Can You Avoid the ¥100,000 Non-Operation Charge (NOC) When Renting a Car from Komatsu Airport?
To avoid the hefty Non-Operation Charge (NOC), it is highly recommended to purchase the optional full-coverage insurance plan offered by the rental company. This plan typically includes an NOC waiver, providing complete peace of mind in case of an accident or damage to the vehicle, ensuring you are not liable for the car's downtime.

Komatsu Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and FAQ for renting a car and exploring Komatsu and the Hokuriku region

Can I drive in Japan with my US driver's license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
You'll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive in Japan. Your US license alone is not sufficient. The IDP must be issued by your home country before arrival (AAA provides them in the US for about $20). Without it, rental companies will refuse to hand over the vehicle, and police can fine you on the spot. Get one before your trip—there's no way to obtain it after arriving in Japan.
Is Komatsu difficult to drive in during winter? Do I need snow chains?
Winter driving in the Komatsu area (November through March) requires caution. Snowfall is common, especially if you're heading toward the Noto Peninsula or the mountain routes toward Nagano. Snow chains are legally required on certain expressways and mountain roads when conditions are snowy—rental companies typically provide chains or snow tires upon request at no extra charge. If you're uncomfortable driving in snow, avoid early morning drives when ice is most likely, and stick to major expressways like the Hokuriku Expressway.
How do I pay for highway tolls in Japan? Is an ETC card worth it?
Highway tolls in Japan are notoriously expensive—a trip from Komatsu to Nagoya (about 250 km) can cost ¥8,000–¥10,000 (roughly $55–$70). You can pay cash at toll booths, but most drivers use an ETC card for convenience. If you're renting a car, ask about renting an ETC device (typically ¥330/day). Without an ETC card, you'll need to stop at manned booths, which adds time. For a 5-7 day trip covering 800+ km of expressways, the ETC device usually pays for itself in saved time.
I'm 23 years old. Will I face a 'young driver surcharge' when renting in Japan?
Yes, most rental companies in Japan charge a Young Driver Surcharge for drivers under 25. Expect to pay an additional ¥1,000–¥2,500 per day (roughly $7–$18) if you're between 21-24 years old. Drivers under 21 are generally not permitted to rent cars in Japan. When booking, look for packages that waive or reduce young driver fees—some companies offer deals during off-peak seasons. Always declare your age accurately; attempting to hide it can void your insurance.
Which side of the road does Japan drive on, and is it hard to adjust from the US?
Japan drives on the LEFT side of the road, and all rental cars are right-hand drive. For US drivers accustomed to left-hand drive vehicles, this takes adjustment—especially when navigating intersections and making turns. The trickiest part is judging distances on the left side and remembering to look right first at crossings. Highway driving is relatively straightforward since you just stay in the left lane. If you're visiting Kanazawa (20 minutes from Komatsu), be prepared for narrow streets in the historic districts—US-sized parking spaces don't exist there.
What type of gasoline do I need, and are gas stations easy to find around Komatsu?
Japanese gas stations use two main fuel types: regular gasoline (通常) and premium/high-octane (プレミアム or ハイオク). Most rental cars in Japan run on regular gasoline—check your rental agreement to confirm. Gas stations are plentiful along expressways and in cities, but many in rural areas (including parts of the Noto Peninsula) close by 8-9 PM. Self-service stations are common outside major cities, and prices are generally consistent. The 'full-to-full' policy is standard: you receive the car with a full tank and must return it full to avoid steep refueling charges.
