Tips for refueling a rental car in Hokkaido

  • Most rental cars take regular gasoline, shown as レギュラー (Regular). At most stations the regular nozzle is red.
  • At a full-service station, just say "Regular, mantan" (regular, full tank). Self-service stations are marked セルフ.
  • Rental cars are usually returned with a full tank. Fill up near the return office and keep the receipt — some companies ask to see it.
  • In eastern and northern Hokkaido, stations can be far apart and may close early in the evening. Refuel when the tank is half empty.

How fuel cost is calculated

Fuel used (L)= distance (km) ÷ fuel economy (km/L)

Fuel cost (yen)= fuel used × price per liter

Hokkaido is big — Sapporo to Hakodate or Kushiro is more than 300 km one way. In winter, heating, idling and stop-and-go driving on snow lower fuel economy, so plan your refueling with some margin. In rural eastern and northern Hokkaido, gas stations can be far apart.
