KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Kagoshima
- Car hire in Kagoshima is one of the preferred choices among visitors who want to explore the seaside city and the rest of Kyushu Island without relying on the loop buses in the city or trying to figure out the local transport schedule on the island. You'll also avoid paying notoriously high taxi prices. You can take time out to tour Shiroyama Park in the city before driving to the docks and catching a ferry to the famous Sakurajima Volcano. When you get back, you can take a drive out to the Shoko Shuseikan Museum, all without waiting on other schedules.
- Kagoshima car hire at Kagoshima Airport (KOJ) is ideal because it'll likely be your arrival and departure point for your trip and you can avoid using public transport to get to and from the city.
