After collecting your luggage from the baggage claim area, proceed to the arrivals hall. Here you will find the counters for major car rental agencies. If you have booked with an off-site provider, look for a company representative holding a sign with your name or the company logo. They will guide you to the designated shuttle bus pickup point just outside the terminal entrance.

Amami Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and rental advice for exploring Amami Oshima by car

Can I drive in Amami with my US driver's license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?

You'll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your US license. Japan doesn't recognize US licenses directly. Get your IDP from AAA before departure ($20-25). Without it, you risk fines of up to ¥100,000 and vehicle impoundment. The IDP is valid for 1 year and must be carried at all times while driving.

I'm coming from the US—will driving on the left side be a problem?

Yes, this is the biggest adjustment. Japan drives on the left with right-hand steering vehicles. US drivers often accidentally drift toward the center. Practice awareness at intersections, use roundabouts carefully (yield to traffic already inside), and don't rely on muscle memory. Consider starting on quieter roads for your first hour. Most rental companies offer brief orientation sessions—don't skip them.

How do I pay for toll roads in Amami, and is an ETC device worth renting?

Toll roads accept cash or ETC (Electronic Toll Collection). Renting an ETC card costs around ¥330/day but can save significant time on expressways like the Nansei Ocean Drive. Cash tolls from Kagoshima Airport to Amami run roughly ¥2,500-3,500. If you plan more than 2 highway segments, the ETC card pays for itself. Ask your rental company to pre-install it.

What type of fuel do cars use in Amami, and will I find gas stations easily?

Regular gasoline (lead-free) is standard for most rental cars. Amami Oshima has adequate gas stations, but rural areas may have limited hours (some close by 7-8 PM). Budget roughly ¥1,500-2,000 per tank for city driving. Most rentals come with a full tank—return it full to avoid refueling fees. Pro tip: fill up before entering remote areas like the Ginza Forest Road.

I'm 23—will I pay young driver surcharges, and what's the minimum age to rent?

The minimum driving age in Japan is 18, but most rental companies require drivers to be 21-25. At 23, you'll likely face a young driver surcharge of ¥1,100-2,750/day from agencies like Times Mobil, Nippon Rent-A-Car, and ORIX. Some companies waive the fee for ages 25+. Book early and compare агрегаторы to find the best rate—some companies like Toyota rent to 21+ with higher fees.

Are there any special road conditions I should know about for Amami?

Mountainous roads with sharp curves dominate the island's interior. Rain creates slippery conditions on roads like the Ryukyu Limestone Plateau routes. Some rural roads are narrow with no shoulder—oncoming traffic requires caution. Navigation tip: download offline maps since cell service drops in mountainous areas. Drive slowly on unfamiliar roads, especially at night when visibility drops dramatically and wildlife (wild boars, snakes) becomes active.
