What kind of rental car should I get for Hikone?
Hikone knows how to entertain. You could vacation for a while here and hardly scratch the surface. If you want to experience as much as possible in this energetic metropolis, a rental car is a must. Keep in mind that driving around big cities usually goes hand in hand with tight streets and sparse parking spaces. But don't stress --- a mini or compact car will make this less daunting. If you're eager to skip town and check out some of the bays that Hikone is well known for, you'll probably prefer a car with a little more power. A mid-size or full-size SUV will make that longer drive comfortable.
Should I get a luxury rental car in Hikone?

Choosing your perfect match depends on your budget and what you intend to do.
