MIC has signed an exclusive partnership agreement with Europcar Mobility Group, which operates a car rental business mainly in Europe, and began accepting reservations made via Europcar on April 14 at directly operated Nico Nico Rent a Car airport locations and other outlets.
The agreement covers nine directly operated locations: Shin-Yokohama Station, New Chitose Airport, Kagoshima Airport, Nagasaki Airport, Fukuoka Airport, Narita Airport, Kansai Airport Rinku Town Station, Haneda Airport, and Kumamoto Airport. Visitors to Japan can arrange their rental cars before arrival through Europcar’s reservation network.
As the increase in inbound tourists boosts demand for secondary transportation in regional areas of Japan, the company aims to create an environment in which foreign travelers can easily secure rental cars in Japan via Europcar’s familiar booking interface. MIC will introduce translation devices and assign multilingual staff, review vehicle pick-up and drop-off flows at airports and major tourist destinations, and provide user guides and insurance information in multiple languages, in order to reduce travelers’ anxiety when renting and driving in Japan.
Nico Nico Rent a Car is already accepting inbound travelers at its directly operated outlets near airports in Japan, and approximately 20% of users at these locations are foreign visitors.
