Japan Travel SafeRide Service

Virus-protective private car service for international travelers to Japan

Japan Travel is delighted to announce a new car service aimed at international travelers looking for a safe and hygienic mode of transport from airports to their place of residence. SafeRide is a unique service offered by Japan Travel, in conjunction with a local car partner, with the focus on giving an alternative and virus-protective mode of transport for the post-COVID-19 world.

SafeRide safeguards against any potentially dangerous proximity with unknown persons by ensuring our English-speaking drivers are safe, aware and are outfitted in spotless personal protection. The cars have separation curtains and ventilation, and drivers maintain a distance from passengers from the pickup point to their destination. We also ensure that each car has sanitizer, an ozone device and is disinfected and cleaned thoroughly after each ride.

SafeRide is a service which has been created, specifically, to combat any fears or reluctance about travelling on public transport or other, more orthodox car services offered throughout the country. Japan Travel takes the safety and concerns of our clients and partners very seriously and SafeRide is the game-changing result of this unexpected journey we have all experienced in 2020.

  • If you prefer to load your own luggage, this is also acceptable

  • Regular temperature and health checks

Our Cars

  • Hand sanitizer as passengers enter

Seeing that Covid-19 will be with us for a while, SafeRide has found a niche for those who travel.
