Narrow Down by Budget
Budget Range (up to low ¥10,000s)
SALMON RENTALCAR offers kei campers and van conversions from ¥4,800 — the lowest entry price in Sapporo. Delivery and pickup are available, including to New Chitose (inquiry required). Vehicle variety is limited, so best for “cheapest option regardless” cases.
QUUM offers kei campers from ¥6,600, van conversions from ¥9,900. Includes Hiace and other types, with a slightly wider selection. Pickup is primarily in Sapporo city; New Chitose access requires inquiry.
CAMPINGLABO offers kei campers from ¥7,800, van conversions from ¥9,800, cab conversions from ¥14,800. Being able to compare all types in one place makes it useful from the “still deciding on vehicle type” stage. New Chitose delivery is ¥5,000 one way. Rich vehicle lineup including Zil Noble, Creson Voyage, Serengeti, and Amity.
Mid-Range (¥15,000–¥20,000s)
TOMO CAMPERS starts from ¥15,000 for kei campers. Handles Cordoba ncs, Amity, Every, Vamos, and more across kei to cab conversions. Delivery and pickup available; New Chitose delivery is free for 5+ days.
Ohana offers cab conversions from ¥16,500 with free New Chitose Airport shuttle. Good value for flying in and wanting a cab conversion. Handles AMITY and ALEN series.
Sapporo Honten (BicUp) offers mixed kei and cab conversions from ¥17,300. Handles well-known models including ZIL520, Amity, Serengeti, and Cordobancs. Delivery costs from ¥3,300.
For one-way trips, Japan Road Trip Sapporo (from ¥19,800) supports one-way between Sapporo and New Chitose, offering flexibility for post-tour returns.
Premium (¥25,000+)
Sapporo CRC starts from ¥23,500 with one-way drop-off support. Rental and return at Shin-Sapporo station and Sapporo office.
KEGANI CAMP starts from ¥25,000 with AC-equipped 4WD cab conversions. A choice for mountain roads and rough terrain stability, but no one-way and delivery fees apply separately.
If One-Way Drop-Off Is Required
If you want to rent in Sapporo and return in Asahikawa, Hakodate, or another airport, you need to narrow down to bases with one-way support.
| Base | One-Way Conditions |
|---|---|
| Japan Road Trip Sapporo | Sapporo station area to New Chitose etc. (pricing on inquiry). New Chitose base available |
| Sapporo CRC | Shin-Sapporo station pickup/dropoff or Sapporo office |
One-way options in Sapporo city are limited — if you need one-way, also check New Chitose Airport area bases. Multiple one-way options exist in that area.
Flying In Changes the Area Choice
Arriving at New Chitose Airport and picking up in Sapporo city adds 35–50 minutes of travel time by JR or bus. If you’re heading somewhere far on arrival day, picking up near New Chitose Airport saves time on day one.
Renting in Sapporo city makes sense when: arriving and staying in Sapporo first, starting your tour the next day, or wanting a wider vehicle selection.

Check These Before Booking

- Liability coverage fee: Usually ¥3,300–¥5,500/day extra. Check if it’s included in the plan
- Peak season pricing: GW, Obon, and autumn season can see significant increases. Early booking is effective
- Pets: Most bases require inquiry or do not allow pets. Confirm in advance if traveling with pets
- Driver’s license: Most vehicles require a standard license, but check 8-number plate and special vehicle conditions per base
