It is not always possible to avoid getting into trouble such as a flat tire or wheel breakage.
It is difficult for customers to deal with problems with large vehicles. We have been in business for more than 10 years, and have the know-how to handle maintenance prior to rental, as well as the rare problem of a serious breakdown while on a trip.
In case of trouble, we have affiliated stores in various locations, so you can rent with peace of mind.（May not be possible depending on the condition.）
We also have a wealth of information on travel destinations throughout Japan, so please consult with us about your travel plans.

Our campers can be driven with a standard driver's license. (AT only is acceptable). All vehicles are equipped with AT, right-hand drive, car navigation system, and back-up camera* for comfortable driving.
The main difference between a camper and a regular car is that the overall height is 3 meters.

Please note that you may not be able to pass through places that you can normally pass through without much thought, such as multi-storey parking lots and under train guards.

safety measure

While the newness and glamour of the camper is important to us, the most important thing to us is that the trip ends with no accidents or breakdowns.
We also believe that the experience of the person renting the camper is necessary to deal with the risks of driving a large vehicle, which is different from driving a passenger car, inspecting the camper's functions, and dealing with problems during the trip.
We are committed to safety measures based on our many years of experience.
We provide total support during the rental period, from hardware to software, including driving support for those who are unfamiliar with large vehicles and information that will help you feel at ease even if you go to unfamiliar places.

Some examples of safety measures

• Inspection before lending
  Vehicle inspections and inspections of unique camping equipment are conducted for each rental vehicle in accordance with the pre-rental car operation inspection items.
• Preliminary Explanation
  We provide a 30-minute explanation of the operation, precautions for driving, and support for risk prediction.
• In the process of lending
  In case of equipment trouble, accidents and other emergencies, our store and road service are available 24 hours a day.
• Increased tire size
  Reduced wobble and shaking characteristic of campervans, and increased strength reduces the risk of bursting. We regularly replace our tires.
• Shock absorbers installed
  By installing shock absorbers, the wobbling and shaking characteristic of campervans is alleviated and stable driving is possible.
• Installation of solar panels
  Solar panels are installed to reduce battery drain and ensure stable operation of electrical appliances.
