Okinawa car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Okinawa 
Verified travelerDec 2024
I recommend a fuel efficient vehicle that is smaller to navigate tight roads in small neighborhood. Roads otherwise are wide and easy to get around. I recommend the car insurance provided at the location - it was a good value. Regardless of who you book with, you will need to take a shuttle to pick up your vehicle. Don’t forget your international drivers permit!!
Verified travelerJan 2025
Hiring a car in Okinawa is a necessity for getting around. Fuel was well-priced, the speed limit is more of a recommendation, and there is zero tolerance for drunk driving. Typically other drivers are considerate and generous as well.
BennOct 2024
I booked a hybrid compact, easy to drive. Learn the traffic laws and be ready to drive slow and easy. Okinawa is a beautiful place, so I suggest slowing down and experiencing it. The gas stations are easy enough and there is always an attendant available to help.

Ask airport information to help find the car rental shuttle. It was a little difficult to find.

KS car rentals were a great experience. They picked us up from the airport and dropped us off. The first car I booked was too small (One family member brought far more luggage than expected). But luckily KS upgraded us to a larger car for a generous price. This car was a little damaged but the condition report was accurate and there was no attempted skulduggery. I would absolutely recommend this company.

I had a simple last minute change - to our flight number and arrival time - and Avis website could not confirm it, rejecting my information for no clear reason. The telephone number at the local office answered with a recorded message in Japanese and nothing further, which did not help. I wound up calling the north America reservations line, waiting on hold for 16 minutes, and the agent was unenthusiastic to say the least. The confirmation email arrived after our call, and showed no change to the flight numbeer or reservation. I had to get on the flight with no certainty that I would even have a car waiting for me, but fortunately at the office when I arrived, the staff was the usual hyper-competent Japanese experience. The Avis experience was only saved due to their action on the day, but in general was awful.

There's not any plug charger for cell phone. GPS on the car can not find some place, we have to use our own Google maps in our smartphone.
