Japan car rental recommendation Tabirai experience sharing/rental and return/ETC/discount

Rental date: 2022/12/10 – 2022/12/15

I chose self-driving for this trip to Nagoya because I wanted to minimize contact with crowds. After all, if unfortunately I am diagnosed abroad, the itinerary will be disrupted. The main demand for this wealthy family trip is 6 seats and a car return at another location. You need to pick up the car at Nagoya Chubu Airport and finally return it to Nagoya city. this time through Tabirai It feels good to rent a car, and it can be canceled for free 7 days before.

The main reason why I choose Tabirai is that other car booking websites (Budget, Rentalcars) can’t find the car when choosing A to rent and B to return (returning the car in another place). It may be that the rich man did not make a good choice in operation, please forgive me, so Finally in Tabirai The reservation is successful, let’s take a look at this sharing.

Take the following as an example, the rich man's search conditions on Rentalcars: the pick-up location is "Central International Airport" (green box in the picture below), and the return location is "Nagoya Station" (blue box in the picture below). After pressing the search button, he found something some vehicles.

but! After pressing the green "View Plan" button, you will find that the search conditions in the picture below have changed. The car pick-up and return areas both show that the car must be at "Central Japan International Airport", which does not meet the needs of the rich man.
