QHow far in advance can I make a reservation?

A
Reservations can be made up to six months in advance. We recommend early booking for busy seasons (summer, year-end, long holidays) as we often sell out early.

If vehicles are available, same-day reservations are accepted. For last-minute bookings, contacting us by phone (0980-79-7567) is smoother.

QWhat procedures should I complete in advance?

A
Please enter driver information and flight numbers in the rental form sent after booking. Completing pre-payment and presenting your license via LINE in advance will significantly shorten the waiting time on the day of departure.

QIs pre-payment mandatory?

A
You can pay by the time you visit our store. Pre-payment makes the rental process smoother, so we recommend it. For some plans, the reservation will be cancelled if the pre-payment is not made. We will always refund according to the policy. Please rest assured.

QWhat's the difference between NOC and CDW? Can I choose just one?
