Rental Car Delivered to Your Hotel in Tokyo
Staying in Asakusa, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ginza or anywhere in central Tokyo? We bring the car to you for ¥4,500 per one-way and collect it from the same place when you are done. Ideal for a Mt. Fuji, Hakone or Nikko day trip in the middle of your Tokyo stay.
How hotel delivery works
- Enter your hotel or Airbnb name when booking and tell us whether it has a car park. We confirm the car and send a payment link.
- Upload your documents in the pre-check-in; we approve them in advance.
- If your hotel has a car park, we can leave the car there and send you the pick-up guide (car park, bay number and key-box code) so you collect it yourself, or hand it over to you in person at the hotel entrance. If there is no car park, as with most Airbnbs, we hand it over in person at the entrance at the agreed time.
- Hotel and other parking fees during your rental are paid by you.
- At the end, return the car the same way (in the hotel car park, or in person at the entrance at the agreed time), or at Haneda Airport if you prefer.
Early-morning departures
Many guests want to leave for Mt. Fuji at 5:00 or 6:00 to beat the traffic. If the car is waiting in your hotel's car park you collect it yourself; otherwise we hand it over at the time we agree with you. Pick-ups or returns before 08:00 or after 20:00 are arranged with you in advance and cost ¥2,200 each.

Practical notes
- Central Tokyo hotel car parks are often mechanical towers with height limits, so minivans, the 4WD Van, the 10-seater and the roof-tent camper (about 2.35 m tall) often cannot use them. In that case we hand the car over in person at the hotel entrance, and you park it in a nearby coin car park during your rental, at your own cost.
- Parking in central Tokyo during your rental, including the hotel car park, is at your own cost. Coin parking is typically ¥300–600 per hour, hotel parking ¥1,500–3,000 per night.
- Delivery is available across the 23 wards of Tokyo. Hotels near Tokyo Disney Resort (Maihama, Urayasu) are charged the same as Tokyo hotels. For other places, or a one-way return in another city such as Osaka, message us on WhatsApp and we will quote.
Related questions
Yes, if a car is free. Online bookings close 24 hours before pick-up, so for a same-day pick-up or any pick-up within 24 hours, please message us on WhatsApp. Once your booking is confirmed (car available and payment completed), please allow at least this much time before the handover: between 08:00 and 20:00, 2 hours for Haneda Airport and central Tokyo and 3 hours for Narita Airport; before 08:00 or after 20:00, 1.5 hours for Haneda Airport and central Tokyo and 2 hours for Narita Airport (the off-hours fee applies). Our staff drive the car to you from Hachioji, so heavy traffic can sometimes cause a delay. If that happens, we will keep you updated on WhatsApp. Thank you for your understanding.
The deposit is ¥50,000 for 5-seat cars, ¥100,000 for 7–8 seat minivans, the 10-seater and our other 4WD vehicles, and ¥150,000 for the Luxury Minivan 4WD (Toyota Alphard). With a credit card it is a pre-authorisation (hold): we send the deposit link within three days before your pick-up, and the hold is released after the return once tolls, fuel and other charges are settled. A card hold lasts up to about 30 days (shorter for some cards such as American Express). If your rental is longer than the hold can last, the deposit is charged and refunded to the same card after the return, minus tolls, fuel and other charges. Debit and prepaid cards are charged and refunded in the same way. The card you use for the deposit is saved securely with Stripe for your rental and is used only for a parking fine (放置違反金) from your rental, because these notices can reach us a month or more later: we first send you a copy of the official notice, then charge only the amount of the fine (no fee), within 90 days of the return. Speeding and other offences that require the driver in person are never charged to your card.
Yes, to hotels and Airbnbs in Tokyo's 23 wards, for ¥4,500 per one-way. If the hotel has a car park, we can leave the car there for you to pick up yourself with our pick-up guide, or hand it over in person at the hotel entrance; if there is no car park, we hand it over in person at the agreed time. Hotel and other parking fees during your rental are paid by you. Handovers before 08:00 or after 20:00 are arranged with you in advance and cost ¥2,200 each.
Our staff meet you at the entrance of your accommodation at the agreed time and hand over the car in person, and collect it the same way at the end. Parking during your rental, including overnight, is arranged and paid by you, usually in a nearby coin car park (コインパーキング). Many central Tokyo hotels only have mechanical or tower car parks with height limits, so please check before you book. Handovers before 08:00 or after 20:00 are arranged with you in advance and cost ¥2,200 each.
Our delivery area is Tokyo's 23 wards (hotels and Airbnbs), Haneda Airport and Narita Airport, and you can also pick up the car at our shops in Hachioji. Hotels near Tokyo Disney Resort (Maihama, Urayasu, in Chiba just outside the 23 wards) are charged the same as Tokyo hotels: ¥4,500 per one-way. For other places, including a one-way return in another city such as Osaka, message us on WhatsApp with the address and dates and we will send you a quote.
