Premium Rentacar – More GT-R Rental In Japan
September 1st, 2008
Another company has joined the list of those offering Nissan GT-Rs for rental in Japan recently with company Premium Rentacar adding one to their stable. The GT-R joins other cars on offer like the Rolls Royce Phantom and the Bentley Continental. For just 46,200 yen (about $450) you can have a GT-R for 24 hours. Or you can choose to go for half a day for 36,960 yen.
Premium Rentacar’s office is in Shinagawa in Tokyo but bookings need to be made in advance by email or website.

Hi! how are you? I wish to know more about the rental of GTR, I’ll be in Tokyo the end of March for 3 days, pls reply with the details, thx!
Hello, I rented the GT-R from Premium on 23-Feb-2009 for 12 hours for $415.00 (including Insurance). It was worth the experience in my opinion. The staff were patient and courteous. For a couple hundred bucks more, you can keep it for 24 hours. I have the following suggestions:
1. Pay for the insurance!!! Tokyo has these small-@$$ sidestreets that the GPS will take you through in order to make a legal U-Turn. if you are not careful, you can easily scuff the paint job or rims. Thankfully, that didn’t happen to me, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
2. Consider carefully if you plan on keeping it for 24+ hours because parking in Tokyo is a hassle. Make sure there is adequate parking at your hotel before making your arrangements.
3. If you need to return the car early, call the Manager WELL in advance!!! The staff do not stay in the office all day, and you will need to notify them if you are returning the car early. i had to wait for an hour plus since I didn’t know this in advance.
4. Bring extra yen in case the Electronic Toll Collector ID in the car doesn’t work…it DIDN’T for me. The first tollbooth is 700 yen right now.
5. The nearest Train station is Nakanobu on the Toei Asakusa Line. Depending on which station exit you walkthrough, you should either see a Gas Station on your left or a pachinko slot place across the street. In either case, stay on the side of the street that you are currently on and walk in the direction of the two places i mentioned. Premium will eventually be on your left. A little bit of a hassle to get there if you are not familiar with Tokyo’s Subway, but MUCH cheaper than taking a taxi, which can be $50+ depending on where your hotel is. Mine was in Shinjuku.
5. Don’t be a cheapskate and pay for the insurance!!!
