Car rental & car share in Naha

Looking for car rental & car share in Naha? Tcab is a station-based service with more than 130 public Tspots across the city: Makishi, Tsuboya, and Matsuo on Kokusai-dori; Matsuyama, Kumoji, and Izumizaki in the Prefectural Office business district; the Omoromachi new town; around Tomari Port where island ferries leave; Shuri; and Uebaru by Akamine Station on the airport side—all within walking distance of Yui Rail stops. Skip the airport counter and collect the car near your hotel, even the same day.

Renting a car in Naha around Kokusai-dori and Makishi

If you stay near Kokusai-dori, the Makishi station cluster by Makishi Station, Tsuboya and Asato toward Asato Station, and Matsuo toward Kencho-mae are the candidates. You can walk from the First Makishi Public Market or Heiwa-dori to pick up, and leaving via Route 58 or Asato outside Kokusai-dori’s pedestrian hours keeps departure simple.

Each Makishi station has its own page—“Car rental & car share in Makishi, Naha, Okinawa”—with map, walking access, and public code. Compare several stations in the same district based on your hotel.

Naha stations by area and the route from the airport

Kencho-mae, Matsuyama, Kumoji, and Izumizaki are dense with business hotels, handy for setting off on a work morning. Omoromachi suits shopping around San-A Naha Main Place and DFS; Tomari, Maejima, and Wakasa are close to Tomarin (island ferries) and Naminoue Beach; Shuri is the base for Shuri Castle Park.

From Naha Airport by Yui Rail: about 4 minutes to Akamine (Uebaru), 12 to Kencho-mae, 15 to Makishi, and 19 to Omoromachi. Airport specifics are on the “Car rental & car share at Naha Airport” page. Heading to Tomigusuku, Urasoe, Ginowan, or Uruma, a Naha city Tspot is still your nearest pickup.

Choosing a vehicle size and understanding prices in Naha

Naha has many one-way and narrow streets, and coin parking is often tight, so make a Compact HV the first choice for two people touring the city or the south; a family of four with suitcases suits a Midsize HV; six or more, or long drives north, call for a Long HV (Alphard class).

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.
