Cab conversions feature a refrigerator, fixed beds, and full equipment. Here are 6-day estimates.
| Operator | Rental Fee (6 days) | Estimated Total | Per Person (÷4) |

Peak Season Surcharges
Golden Week, summer, and New Year are peak seasons. With 6 days, the surcharge adds up considerably.
| Season | Price Impact | Extra Cost (typical van conversion) |
|---|---|---|
| Off-season | Standard rate | — |
| Golden Week (late Apr–early May) | +10–30% | +¥10,500–¥31,500 |
| Summer / Obon (late Jul–late Aug) | +20–40% | +¥21,000–¥42,000 |
| New Year (late Dec–early Jan) | +10–30% | +¥10,500–¥31,500 |
If an Obon +40% surcharge applies to a van conversion at ¥105,600, the peak season total becomes approximately ¥147,800. With 6 days, the surcharge is a substantial amount. Book early to lock in rates before summer prices rise.

If you want to cover eastern, northern, and southern Hokkaido all at a relaxed pace, 7 nights or more is ideal.
How to Cut Costs
Tips to reduce costs on a 5-night/6-day rental. Longer trips magnify the effect of each method.
Add more people: Choosing a van conversion or cab conversion for 4–6 people dramatically lowers the per-person cost. For 4 people, ¥22,000–¥30,000 per person is realistic.
Use early-bird discounts: Some operators offer 5–15% off if you book 1–3 months early. Applied to a 6-day rental, the savings are substantial. For summer travel, book in spring.
Include weekdays: Some operators charge less on weekdays. An itinerary centered on Monday–Thursday can reduce the total cost.
Always compare rental fee + liability waiver combined, not just the advertised daily rate.
