Car hire at Osaka Itami Airport

There are car rental companies located onsite and offsite at the airport. There are about eight car rental companies located on the first level of the North Terminal. If you have arrivals at any other terminal, there is a free shuttle ride to take you to the office in less than 5min. There are major companies with offsite locations that offer complimentary rides from the airport. Travelers have to make prior arrangements before arriving for easy pick-up.

Customers have to be at least 21 years old. Renters under 25 may be charged a daily fee called the Young Drivers Surcharge. Customers have to present a valid driving license with a photo of the driver. Foreigners should present the driving permit alongside an IDP for translation. It would be best if you also had a valid credit or debit card to cover the costs of the rental car, as most companies don't accept cash.

Onsite rental companies have the most straightforward return process. They include Alamo, Goldcar, Megadrive, Centaura and Europcar. They also provide after-hours return services.

Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Osaka Itami airport to off-airport locations include Hertz, National, Nissan Rent-A-Car, ORIX Rent a Car, and Times.
