Thanks for the video fellow singaporean! It's super helpful for a trip in July :)
roughly how much did you have to spend for the tolls over 3-4 days driving ? i ask because im wondering if it would be better just to by a kyushu pass for the time i spend there ? or would i possibly just be better off paying for tolls as i encounter them ? **please ignore my question, it was made just before the end of the video where you posted your expenses ;)
Thx for the video we plan to rent a car in october for Kyushu it will be very helpful😊
Did you use youtrip for the car rental payment?
It depends on what you would want to maximize for. For us, we used a general spending credit card that allows for miles collection (:
Are you using your mobile phone navigation system? Why not use the system in the car? Is it not user friendly?
Is Waze accurate in Kyushu area?
Thanks
We didn't try the in-built navigation tool inside the car but assuming the map is updated, it should work fine. We chose Waze using our phone because we were familiar with the interface, and it was easy to place it at an eye-level for a quick glance while driving. We didn't had any issues with Waze navigation throughout the trip :)
@@JoshDanIt I see...can we use the rented portable WiFi to connect to our handset? Will I get good signal if I'm at remote places cos I'm worried without gps I'll be lost somewhere I don't know.
@@jawsyap We used the portable wifi and did not face any issues with the connection. Separately, we also had data (on standby). It will be good to have both just in case one stops working.
Do you need an international or Japan drivers permit to rent?
@@darrennielson564Yes, you will require an international driving licence. The driving company will request for it upon picking up the car (:
Do we need to pay a downpayment for car reservation ?
You do not need to make a downpayment to reserve the car. The car rental payment will be made on the spot when you pick it up.
Thanks ! For the driving license, can we use driving license from singapore / australia ?
Or do we have to apply for special driving permit ?
@@goodlifebdg You will need to apply for an international driving license to drive in Japan (:
@@JoshDanIt that singapore & aussie are international driving licenses, but is it correct that we still need to apply for IDP (which is just a transalation of the license) ?
@@goodlifebdg Yes that is right! You will need to apply for IDP
