Meeting Inbound Demand for 'One-Way' Rentals: Japan C.R.C., the Largest Rental Campervan Provider, Completes Nationwide Deployment of Happy1 Premium

Japan Campingcar Rental Center (hereinafter "Japan C.R.C."), a rental campervan service operated by Campingcar Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Makoto Yorizane), announced that as of March 31, 2026, it has completed the introduction of its popular "Happy1 Premium" model at the "New Chitose Campingcar Rental Center (New Chitose C.R.C.)" and "Aomori Hachinohe Campingcar Rental Center (Aomori Hachinohe C.R.C.)."

With this, the nationwide deployment of the 20 units of this model, which the company has been adding to its fleet throughout 2026, is now complete. By adding New Chitose and Aomori Hachinohe, the company has established a system across its 10-location network to accommodate the demand for "one-way" rentals of this specific vehicle model.

In recent years, with the recovery of inbound tourism, there has been an increasing need for long-distance travel between cities and touring through regional areas. In particular, there is a growing demand for one-way rentals in the campervan sector—where customers wish to return the vehicle at a different location from where they departed—and these vehicles are gaining attention as a means of transport that allows for flexible itinerary planning.
