Family Rent-A-Car（ファミリーレンタカー）is a local car rental company in Chitose, Hokkaido, Japan. Its official website offers online search and booking for travelers using New Chitose Airport. The company provides car rental and vehicle leasing services, with its directly operated location being the New Chitose Airport branch/main store. It is suitable for users who want to drive around Hokkaido after arrival.
The service is built around picking up and returning cars at the airport-area store: vehicles cannot be handed over directly at New Chitose Airport, but a free shuttle bus is provided. Business hours are 08:30–18:00, and pickup/return is not available outside these hours. In terms of vehicles, the text indicates that, except for Hiace models, most cars are newly registered within the past one or two years. All vehicles are equipped with rear-view cameras and multilingual navigation, while some models support CarPlay, sliding doors, 4WD, and winter snow tires. For visitors to Japan, the site explains international driving permit rules and offers expressway-related options such as HEP.
The crawled content does not provide base rental rates for each vehicle class, but it does disclose several add-on rules: bookings made on the official website receive a 10% discount during the customer’s birthday month; cancellation fees are free up to 7 days in advance, 20% from 6 to 3 days before, 30% from 2 days before to the day before, and 50% on the day, capped at 6,600 yen. ETC card rental costs 330 yen/day, capped at 1,650 yen; the Full Cover protection package costs 1,100 yen per 24 hours; and a beginner driver sign costs 110 yen per rental. Payment is accepted by cash, VISA, Master, and Rakuten Card.
The advantages are clear booking rules, with online reservations available up to 1 hour before departure; airport transfers, multilingual navigation, rear-view cameras, and relatively new vehicles are tourist-friendly; and the FAQ gives fairly complete explanations of documents, insurance, winter road driving, and cancellation fees. The drawbacks are also obvious: there is only the New Chitose Airport main store, one-way returns are not supported; pickup/return outside business hours is unavailable; instant messaging services such as LINE and KakaoTalk are not supported; and pets, taking the car on ferries to remote islands, or driving outside Hokkaido are all prohibited.
It is better suited to Hokkaido self-drive travelers, families, or larger groups starting and ending their trip at New Chitose Airport, as well as visitors to Japan who need Chinese/English navigation. If you plan to return the car in another city or need pickup/return for a late-night flight, it is less suitable. Access from mainland China is not mentioned in the source text, so it is considered unknown.
