I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this and can confirm…
The situation:
I have some family visiting in a few months, and I’d like to be able to show them more of Japan outside of Tokyo. Yes, we could take the train / bus + taxis everywhere… but some of our potential destinations require cars. There will be 7 of us total. My car only seats 6 (and 4 comfortably), but I have another car available to me (FIL’s) that seats 5.
What I’m wondering:
I know 7-11 has some temporary car insurance you can buy (through Mitsui Sumitomo Ins) if a friend wants to borrow your car, but it appears that it can’t be used with an IDP (https://www.faq.ms-ins.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2243/kw/%E5%9B%BD%E9%9A%9B ).
Does anyone know of any options for insurance in this situation, or is a proper rental car the only choice for this?
