Good experience to drive car in Japan

Everything is good

Efficient and satisfying

The service attitude was good, but the staff had difficulty communicating in English, and their explanations of vehicle usage were insufficient.

This time the car was provided by TIMES! They transferred my order to another company without informing me beforehand, causing me to wander around the pickup point looking for my car! I wasted over an hour and had to make an international call to Zuzuche customer service to complain, only to find out it was TIMES! I think Zuzuche is largely to blame! They must seriously reflect on my unpleasant experience and compensate me for my losses!!!

I rented my car at Terminal 1 of Osaka Kansai Airport. There are about four or five car rental companies at the pickup location. Based on my observation, Europcar had the fewest staff, with only one person. Among these companies, only Nippo Car Rental operates 24 hours a day. Make sure to pay attention to this, so you don't make the same mistake I did. My mistake was that my flight was delayed. I actually double-checked with the car rental company beforehand to confirm that there would be staff available if my flight was delayed. They assured me there would be, but in reality, we ended up stranded for a whole night because Europcar was already closed. The staff's English was decent, so communication wasn’t a big problem, which is notable because many Japanese people don't speak English well. The pickup and drop-off process was fairly quick, and the locations were convenient. The car model I rented was very fuel-efficient; I only used half a tank after driving around for a while. Thumbs up for that.
