Osaka, Japan: minivan rental hints
Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Osaka are: Hyundai Trajet 7 seater, Mitsubishi L300 12 Seater, Toyota Tarago 8 Seater, Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Chevrolet Uplander, Toyota Minibus and others.

Standard capacity of a minivan in Japan is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.

Please note, that in order to rent in Japan a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.

Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Osaka.

Before leaving the parking garage in Osaka, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you a great driving experience on the roads of Japan!

Driving Advices for Japan – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
As many as 99% of intersections in Japan have traffic lights. Traffic lights are used to define the priority while crossing roads. The so-called interyard driveways usually have spherical mirrors, but one can rarely see them in large cities.
On city roads the maximum distance between traffic lights is 100 meters, and on some roads they are installed every 50 meters. Surprisingly, such a number of traffic lights don’t contribute to the formation of traffic jams. On the contrary, thanks to them the traffic becomes very well-organized.
A huge number of traffic lights is also a great way to make all drivers follow the speed limit. Japanese drivers are already well-disciplined, but such frequent traffic lights at intersections completely eliminate the possibility of breaking the speed limit.
