About Renting a Car at Fukuoka Center

Fukuoka Center offers 1 car rental company in the heart of the city, strategically located near Tenjin – Kyushu's largest shopping district. Despite the limited selection, the location is perfect for exploring Fukuoka and northern Kyushu by car. From central Fukuoka, it's 30 minutes to Dazaifu Tenmangu Temple (20 km to the south) and 90 minutes to Nagasaki (130 km to the west via the Nagasaki Expressway).

The Itoshima Peninsula with its beaches and wine production is 25 km to the west and takes 35 minutes. Book the only rental company in the center well in advance – alternatively, pick up the car at Fukuoka Airport where 9 rental companies are available. Avoid driving in central Fukuoka during rush hours 7–9 AM and 5–7 PM – city traffic is heavy.

Drive the Nishi-Kyushu Expressway toward Saga and Nagasaki for an efficient tour of western Kyushu. How long does it take to drive from Fukuoka Center to Beppu? Beppu, known for its geothermal hot springs, is 120 km east of Fukuoka and takes approximately 90 minutes via the Oita Expressway.

Is parking available near the car rental company in Fukuoka Center? Central Fukuoka has plenty of parking garages, but they are expensive – expect 300–500 yen per hour near Tenjin and Hakata. Can I return the rental car in another city in Kyushu?

Contact the rental company directly for one-way options. Fukuoka Airport with 9 rental companies offers more one-way destinations and is only 10 minutes away.

We compare prices from all major providers at Fukuoka Center so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
