   • Rental shops can have different age limits. The first thing we noticed was that car rental shops in Japan have varying age requirements for drivers. For example, our rental car from Toyota Rent A Car, had a minimum rental age of 18 years old and at least one year of driving experience, whereas Nippon Rent-a-car has a minimum age of 20.
   • International Driving Permit (IDP) is required. The permit costs S$20 and you can apply it online at the Automobile Association website (at least two weeks in advance) or get it immediately in person at any AA Centre — there are three in Singapore (near Redhill, Geylang Bahru, and Ang Mo Kio MRT Stations).
   • Rent the car online ahead of time. While walk-ins are possible during shoulder seasons in Japan, it’s best to book them in advance. The problem with many car rental websites is that most of them are in Japanese so it’s hard to compare prices when you’re unsure what’s covered and what isn’t.
   • Get car insurance. It may seem tempting to skimp on car insurance — don’t. In the event of any *touchwood* unfortunate events, scratches, and other car damages, expenses can easily rack up to a high figure!
