MK Group is expanding its taxi and hire car business to Okinawa.
Okinawa MK, established by the MK West Japan Group in 2019 and involved in the hotel and rental car business, obtained a license for passenger automobile transportation business from the Cabinet Office Okinawa General Bureau on March 4 and will start operations on March 21.
The fleet consists of 10 vehicles, all of which are Nissan Serenas accommodating wheelchairs. The fleet will be gradually expanded, with plans to introduce large wagons like Alphard and Hiace.
The starting fare for a regular car (medium-sized taxi) is 600 yen for the first 1.75 kilometers. After that, an additional 100 yen is charged for every 400 meters or for every 2 minutes and 25 seconds when traveling at speeds below 10 km/h. Fixed rates to and from Naha Airport are also available.
Since July 2023, Okinawa MK has operated MK Rent-a-Car Okinawa Naha Airport Store, and since August 2024, it has operated the Naha Airport Hotel. This marks the group’s ninth city for the taxi and hire car business, following Kyoto, Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Shiga, and Sapporo.
