How to Use the Parking Lot
Unless otherwise indicated, you cannot park your car on the frontage road. Therefore, it is common to use the parking lot. The market price is 200-800 yen per hour. Parking lots attached to large commercial facilities often offer discounts based on the amount of shopping.
In the parking lot, the main types are the gate type, where the parking ticket received at the entrance is used to settle the payment on the way back, and the lock type, where the payment is made according to the parking space number. There are also parking lots that you pay the parking staff directly.
Precautions when Returning
Refuel near the store where you will return the rental car.
Bring the rental car to be returned to the store and check the condition of the car with the store staff.
