Hiroshima-based Times Mobility Networks Co., Ltd. announced on 18 April through its website that between that day and 13 July, 2018, it would start short-term rentals of Jaguar and Land Rover models, including the Range Rover Evoque and four other sports-SUV versions, and the Jaguar F-type. Those holding a Times Club card will be able to rent vehicles starting from as little as ¥7,900 for six hours.
The campaign was timed to attract drivers during the holiday-studded Golden Week period of consecutive national holidays and two weekends, between 28 April and 6 May.
According to the firm’s website, on reserving a car arrangements easily could be made to take delivery of the vehicle at an airport, a shinkansen or other railway station, or at a Jaguar Land Rover dealership.
Times operates more than 400 motor rental outlets, with a fleet of 28,956 domestic and imported models (as of October, 2017), plus another 20,033 vehicles available for car sharing.
