When considering car hire in Kanazawa, it all depends on what your road tripping plans are. The roads are all well maintained and even if you are travelling further there are major motorways with toll roads, so you would be fine with hiring an intermediate car with an extra-large boot for luggage space. If you are travelling only short distances, a compact car is suitable.

When choosing car hire in Kanazawa, be aware there are a few different speed limits in Japan, but they are well signposted.

There are major car parks around most of the popular attractions in Kanazawa. If you are visiting the Kanazawa Castle and Kenroku-en Garden, there is parking at the Kenroku Car Park for a fee. The city is congested but there is ample public transport, so it is wise to find a car park to keep your car for the day so it is safe. There are a few car parks around the main Kanazawa train station, the main one being Kanazawa Station West Exit Clock Parking Lot. It can take roughly up to 1,500 cars in a multi-storey with eight floors. They offer a park-and-rail option, so you can commute to the shopping centres and sightseeing spots.
