Here is an actual SW-class vehicle we have to rent. This particular car is a Honda Freed. It is a four-wheel-drive. In winter it will have snow tires, snow wipers, a drive recorder, an English sat-nav, ski racks and a drive recorder. The daily (24-hour) rate is just ¥12,100 including insurance and taxes.
The 4WD system and snow tires provide ample power and traction to navigate any plowed road with ease. It comfortably accommodates five passengers, each with their own seatbelt, unlike the smaller Japanese “kei” microcars. For winter travel, we recommend that groups of five adults opt for our SUV to ensure maximum comfort and convenience. Check out our SUV rental here
With its four-door design, this vehicle allows for easy access and exit, even in tight ski parking lots where space is limited. If you’re apprehensive about driving in a foreign country, this car provides a reassuring level of comfort and ease. Our first long-term renter was a professional skier and his photographer, who found the ample space especially useful. With the rear seats folded down, they had more than enough room for their gear. According to Wikipedia, seats down give you 630 liters in the back!
