Car rental & car share at Hakata Station
Looking for car rental & car share at Hakata Station? Tcab is station-based: instead of the rental desk in the station building, you collect the car at a Tspot a few minutes’ walk from the Hakata or Chikushi exit. The day you arrive by Shinkansen or limited express, you leave the gates and go straight to pickup. Same-day booking is supported; times, vehicle size, and payment are all done in Explorer.
Hakata Exit or Chikushi Exit—which Tspot to choose
The Hakata Exit (west) opens onto the station-front hotel district along Hakata-ekimae-dori and Sumiyoshi-dori and suits arrivals by local JR, bus, or subway and guests at station-front hotels; the representative station is ekimae-3-8-8 (Hakata Station Hakata Exit). The Chikushi Exit (east) is nearest the Shinkansen platforms, lined with offices and hotels; for Shinkansen arrivals or trips toward Fukuoka Airport, ekihigashi-3-2-4 (Hakata Station Chikushi Exit) is the candidate.
Both are a few minutes on foot from the gates, and each Tspot page carries walking directions from the exit and a map. With heavy luggage, pick the station on the same side as your hotel to shorten the walk.
