Top tips for hiring a car in Kyūshū

  • Fukuoka Airport (FUK) is the principal airport serving the island of Kyūshū, so it is a perfect location to rent a car upon arrival in the metropolitan area. Once you have arrived at the airport, you will find the car rental counters located on the first floor of the International Passenger Terminal Building. At these counters, you'll have the opportunity to select your preferred rental provider, who will have a professional staff available to assist you with the rental process.
  • Driving in Kyūshū can be a difficult and demanding endeavor. Kyūshū is distinguished by its dense population and the intricate road network that traverses its landscapes. During peak hours, the combination of narrow streets, high traffic volume, and numerous intersections can cause congestion and sluggish traffic. Morning rush hour in Kyūshū occurs between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., and evening rush hour occurs between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. During these times, many commuters, students, and laborers congregate on the major roads, including the Kyūshū Expressway, resulting in traffic congestion and extended travel times. In addition, the region's erratic weather, such as typhoons and heavy rainfall, can exacerbate transportation difficulties. To safely navigate the congested roads, you must exercise patience, vigilance, and a high level of situational awareness.
  • The most suitable car for traveling in Kyūshū would be one with good maneuverability, in order to navigate the region's frequently narrow, meandering rural roads. In addition, it should have a comfortable and roomy interior for the comfort of passengers on lengthy voyages, as Kyūshū is renowned for its scenic excursions and long-distance travel. Given Kyūshū's diverse terrain, the optimal vehicle model should have excellent fuel efficiency to accommodate both city driving and mountainous terrain, thereby fostering sustainability and minimizing environmental impact. Consider renting a compact car or a compact SUV on this trip.
