Looking for car rental & car share in Fukuoka? Tcab is a station-based service with public Tspots across the city: Hakata Station’s Hakata and Chikushi exits, the Fukuoka Airport front, Tenjin and Chuo ward (Daimyo, Yakuin, Imaizumi, Maizuru), and Sumiyoshi and Minoshima.

How to rent a car in Fukuoka from Hakata Station or Fukuoka Airport
Arriving by Shinkansen or JR at Hakata Station, the Hakata Exit puts you in the station-front hotel district and the Chikushi Exit is the Shinkansen side—stations on both are a few minutes on foot. Flying in, use the Fukuoka Airport Front Tspot or ride the subway two stops to Hakata. The full walk-through is on the “Car rental & car share at Hakata Station” page.
From Hakata Station it is about 10 minutes by car to Tenjin, Nakasu, and Canal City, 40 minutes to Dazaifu Tenmangu, 50 minutes to Itoshima, and about an hour to Munakata Taisha. The urban expressway links Fukuoka Airport with Hakata and Tenjin in about 15 minutes.
Stations by area in Fukuoka city
Hakata ward has many stations—Hakata-ekimae, Ekihigashi, Ekiminami, Sumiyoshi, Minoshima, Nakasu—covering business trips and sightseeing alike. Chuo ward stations sit in both the downtown and residential pockets: Tenjin, Daimyo, Imaizumi, Yakuin, Maizuru, Akasaka, Kego—good bases for shopping and dining.
There are also Tspots in Higashi ward (Maidashi, Wajiro, Hakozaki), Minami ward (Ohashi, Takamiya), and Sawara ward (Nishijin, Takatori), plus Tano in Munakata city outside Fukuoka. Each page shows a map, walking access, and public code, so pick the station nearest your hotel or destination.
Choosing a vehicle size and understanding prices in Fukuoka
Tcab books by size: Compact HV, Midsize HV, or Long HV. One or two people on a business trip or city hop fit a Compact HV; a family with luggage suits a Midsize HV; six or more, or bulky items like golf bags, call for a Long HV (Alphard class). Fukuoka’s center has many one-way streets and timed restrictions, so check height limits at multistorey car parks.
Prices change with time, size, and station, so this page does not advertise a fixed “cheap” rate. The quote you see in Explorer after entering dates is the binding one, and fuel for normal driving is included in the base fare.
