  • 사용 가능한 카드: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are required in almost all cases. Accepted cards (vary by offer) include Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club, JCB, Discover, and AMEX. Some offers in Portugal also accept Visa/Master debit cards. Some Japan offers accept cash in addition to credit card. Certain high‑value rentals may require two different credit cards from the accepted brands.
  • 연령 요건: Across offers, the general minimum age to rent ranges between 18 and 25, with maximum ages usually 70–99 depending on the supplier. Common base age bands include: 18–80, 18–70, 19–80, 19–99, 20–80/99, 21–80, 23–99, and 25–80. Young driver surcharges apply on some offers: for ages 19–22, about €5–12.18 per day (e.g., €12.18/day or €5/day, tax not included); for ages 20–24, around €10/day; for ages 21–24, around €5/day. Drivers within these young‑driver age bands can rent but must pay the indicated daily surcharge, subject to supplier‑specific maximum/minimum fee rules.
  • 운전 면허증: The main and any additional drivers must present a full, original physical driving license with no major endorsements. Minimum holding period for Portugal rentals is typically 1 year (some offers require 2 years). For Japan, a full valid home‑country license is required; some offers require at least 1 year. Accepted driving licence include:
    • Original driving licence + International Driving Permit (IDP) (Portugal): The IDP is only a translation; you must present your original license with the original IDP. Photocopies or scans are not accepted. or
    • EU/EEA driving license (Portugal): Valid across the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. For Japan: Accepted driving licence include:
    • Original driving licence + IDP (issued under the 1949 Convention): The original IDP must be in A6 booklet format, issued by a government‑authorized agency, and the rented vehicle’s seats must comply with the authorized driving category. or
    • Taiwan (and certain European) driving license + Japan translation version: Drivers licensed in Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Slovenia, Estonia, Monaco, and Taiwan may drive only when carrying both the original license and a Japanese translation issued by JAF or the relevant embassy/consulate in Japan.

    메모: *For Japan: Driver’s license, passport, and IDP must be issued in the same country. Accepted translation: Authorized Japanese translation for licenses issued in Switzerland, Germany, France, Taiwan, Belgium, Slovenia, Estonia, and Monaco.

  • 사용 가능한 카드: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are required in almost all offers. Accepted cards (depending on the offer) are Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club, JCB, Discover, and AMEX. Some Portugal offers also accept Visa/Master debit cards. Some Japan offers additionally accept cash. High‑value rentals may require two different accepted credit cards. In some Portugal offers, if you use your own Collision/Theft coverage, you must bring a printed proof of coverage from your bank or insurer, including your name/card details, coverage, validity dates, applicable countries, and vehicle types.

Driving in Mito

Essential car rental and driving tips for exploring Ibaraki Prefecture

Can I drive in Mito with my US driver's license?
Yes, but you need an official Japanese translation of your US license. Get one from the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) before arrival or at Narita Airport. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not required if you have the JAF translation. Your US license must be valid.
Is it hard to drive on the left side of the road in Japan?
For most US drivers, left-hand traffic takes adjustment. In Mito and Ibaraki, roads are generally well-marked with clear signs. The biggest challenge is navigating intersections and roundabouts. Renting a car with a GPS that speaks English is highly recommended—it guides you through tricky spots step by step.
How much are highway tolls, and should I get an ETC device?
Highway tolls in Japan are expensive—expect ¥3,000-5,000 (USD 20-35) for a one-way trip from Tokyo to Mito. Rent an ETC card at the rental counter (usually ¥300-500/day) to use express lanes and sometimes get small discounts. If you plan to drive more than 100km, the ETC easily pays for itself.
Do I need winter tires or snow chains in Mito?
From December to February, snow and ice are common on roads around Mito. While studless winter tires are legally required on snowy roads in Ibaraki Prefecture, rental companies offer snow tires for ¥1,500-2,500/day. Book in advance—availability is limited during peak winter months.
How much is parking in Mito city center?
Underground parking lots charge ¥200-400 per 30 minutes, with daily maximums around ¥2,000-3,000. Street parking is harder to find and costs ¥100-200 per 15-30 minutes with time limits (usually 8am-8pm). Consider staying at a hotel with free parking if you're visiting for more than a day.
