Opt for compact or mid-sized car rentals in Osaka that are suitable for navigating through narrow streets and tight parking spaces commonly found in urban areas. Smaller cars are generally more maneuverable and easier to park in crowded areas. Choose a car with good fuel efficiency to help save on fuel costs, as well as to be environmentally conscious. Consider renting a car with a built-in GPS navigation system or ensure you have a reliable navigation app on your smartphone. Osaka's road network can be complex, and having a navigation system can help you navigate efficiently and avoid getting lost. While manual transmission cars are common in Japan, if you are not familiar or comfortable with manual transmission, it's advisable to rent a car with an automatic transmission.
