We spent 10 days touring Japan first…

We spent 10 days touring Japan first with Rue as a driver and then with Kenny and I cannot recommend him highly enough. We wanted to see as much of Japan asa possible but did not want to drive. We got so much more than drivers!!!

Both Rue and Kenny were exceptiopnmal—they became trusted guides, a resource, and friends during our travels. They were always punctual, professional, courteous, punctual, helpful with our luggage as we moved rom one hotel to another, and attentive to our needs. What impressed us most was his ability to adapt our plans when weather conditions changed, suggesting alternative destinations and experiences that often became highlights of our trip.

Both Rue and Kenny had knowledge of the areas we visited, and made thoughtful recommendations, and demonstrated a genuine desire to ensure we had the best possible experience which made our visit to Japan unforgettable. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

By the end of our journey, we felt we had gained not only an exceptional driver but also a friend. Our time in Japan was enriched because of these two drivers and we are most happy we hired HireTaxi Japan.

Prompt and cordial

We didn't speak Japanese, but the driver was cordial and able to use Google translate to communicate. He was prompt and got us to the airport comfortably and on time

Very professional service

Very professional service! Our driver, Taro, arrived early, spoke perfect English, and assisted us with our several heavy suitcases for our drive to Haneda Airport. I highly recommend HireTaxiJapan for airport transfers or for any other trip!

Easy, Responsive and Convenient

The Booking process online was easy. The driver was responsive and gave us constant updates. The car was maintained excellent. The instructions for pickup was very clear. They also agreed for a last moment booking which is great. Pricing was reasonable and all inclusive - so no confusion. I would highly recommend their service

Highly recommend!

Highly recommend!
Taro was professional, knowledgeable, flexible & was very good at staying on schedule. He had some great suggestions and this helped us make the most of our short time in Tokyo.
We look forward to booking the next time we visit Japan.

variable experience

Our first experience was fantastic - our driver met us at the airport and was very helpful, friendly and a great driver. However, when we rebooked for our return trip to the airport, our booking was cancelled by email the night before the flight, due to a lack of vehicle being available. I did not receive a text message or any other contact, so felt lucky that I had checked my email in time to book alternative transport. I would probably not use this company again as I would be concerned about the reliability of this service.

Great and professional service by HireTaxiJapan!

My experience with HireTaxiJapan an driver, Mr Komei, was truly excellent. His English was great. He was very serviceminded and professional. And throughout the day he provided great support and good explanations with all activities we did. It was a great pleasure and we can highly recommend him and the company HireTaxiJapan again! Best regards, Erik

Reply from HireTaxiJapan

Thank you for choosing HireTaxiJapan. I have checked this issue customer support. I am afraid all customers agreed “cancel policy” when they made reservation. In your case, you cancel booking in 24 hours by your fault, then refund is not available. We appreciated your understanding.

Perfect as always

We use Hire Taxi all the time for our Tokyo Family Stay guests as transport to and from the airports.

Always a seamless and professional booking process. Driver is polite and on time and everything was smooth.

Highly recommended.

Very late reply

Very late reply. My client was already departed and I still didn't get the information about meeting. The client was nervous.

Comfortable private transfer

Our driver, Taro, was prompt in communication and easy to get a hold of. We cleared customs/immigration quicker than anticipated so it was appreciated that he came earlier than our reserved time.

The reason why deducted stars is due to car seats that I requested not being present in the vehicle. I didn't feel comfortable having my 3 and 6 year old without car seats on a long car ride from Narita to Tokyo city. Driver did not have change, but, its fine, considered it gratuity.

Other than that, I was satisfied with the convenience of a private airport transfer. Clean vehicle, driver didn't converse much, but not a big deal. I would book again.

great service

The driver was very polite, honest and helpfull. he treat us very well and well speaking english.

although there was 15 minutes late longer than schedulled time we have no problem with that.

The administor also done a great communication and we are very well informed of everything regarding the order

Regarding the vehicle it would be better if you could provide a latest model for the same type.
(i expected newer Alphard but actual was old year Alphard)

I will ask for your service on our next Japan trip

thanks for a great service :)
