KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hakodate

  • When you get a car hire in Hakodate, you get more flexibility with your onward journey compared to if you make the journey using an alternative mode of transport like a bus or train. This is because you can travel at a time suitable for you rather than having to wait for the public transport timetables. For example, if you want to drive to Nanae, it takes about 20min, whereas the same trip by train takes around 50min and you also have to abide by the train schedule.
  • Hakodate Airport (HKD) has a range of car hire companies, such as SIXT, which makes finding your ideal car easy. You can find the branches quickly once you land too. For example, if you’re hiring with SIXT, you must go to the Orix counter located in the arrivals hall. A member of staff will then take you to the SIXT branch, which takes about 1min.
  • When you get a car hire in Hakodate, you'll see that it’s a popular location, with many tourists visiting nearby Mount Hakodate. Whilst there are rules in place to stop people jaywalking in Japan, many tourists unknowingly cross the road in areas that are not official pedestrian crossings. You should therefore take care when you are driving in the city centre. Lots of bicycles and mopeds are also on the roads in this city, so you need to be extra careful when driving. Be sure to check your mirrors regularly, especially when you’re coming up to a turn.
  • If you get a Hakodate car hire, you will see that the roads are extremely busy during the weekday rush hour. This tends to be from 8 a.m. to 9 am. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. If you don’t like driving on the road when it’s congested, it’s recommended that you avoid these times. Route 5, which connects the city to other parts of the island, is one of the roads that can be particularly busy. If possible, try to find an alternative route so you don’t have to travel on this road.
  • Book your car hire in Hakodate at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Hakodate are around 13% more expensive than other car types, on average

    Hakodate is a popular city on Japan’s northernmost island, Hokkaido, with many tourists visiting each year. For this reason, the roads are normally very busy, so a small car would be beneficial for you. You could opt for a Suzuki Wagon R, which will help you with parking and navigating busy roads. However, if you want to take your car out into the mountainous countryside, you will want something with a bit more bite. For instance, a Nissan X-Trail has more grip for steep roads and is suitable for a range of terrains.

  • What's the speed limit in Hakodate?

    When driving in Japan, it’s important you don’t speed; otherwise, you are at risk of accidents or being pulled over and fined by the local authorities. When you’re driving on a motorway, the maximum speed you can go is 100 km/h. If you’re on other rural roads which aren’t motorways, then the top speed is 80 km/h. When you’re driving in Hakodate and other urban areas, you must go no faster than 50 km/h. The speed limit varies in cities, so ensure you keep an eye out for the signs. For example, outside schools, the speed limit is only 30 km/h.

This car park is also open 24 hours per day, with there being a set fee of ¥ 500 (A$ 5.25) between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m.
