“I’d love to take two weeks to slowly explore Japan.”
“I’d like to spend a whole month traveling around Hokkaido.”
At CLOUD NINE CAMPING JAPAN, we have received many such voices from travelers planning longer journeys.
Alongside those messages, another voice has reached us again and again:
“When I rent for many days, the cost of the optional coverage plan really adds up.”
To answer that voice, starting June 1, 2026 (today), we are launching a brand-new Long-Term Discount on Optional Coverage Plans.
First, Let Us Explain How CLOUD NINE’s Insurance Works
When you hear “long-term discount on insurance,” you might wonder, “Wait—does this mean insurance was an extra charge all along?”
This is a really important point, so please allow us to walk through it carefully.
① Basic Insurance Is Already Included Free in Every Rental
At CLOUD NINE, every vehicle and every plan already includes the following basic insurance in the rental fee. No additional payment is required.
| Coverage | Details |
|---|---|
| Personal Injury Liability | Unlimited |
| Property Damage Liability | Unlimited (Deductible: ¥100,000) |
| Vehicle Damage | Up to market value (Deductible: ¥200,000) |
| Passenger Injury Insurance | Up to ¥30M per person |
In other words, in the unlikely event of an accident, essential protection is already firmly in place.
We hope this gives you peace of mind right from the start.
② That Said, Basic Insurance Still Leaves “Deductibles” and “NOC”
While the basic insurance offers strong coverage, certain amounts remain payable by the customer in the event of an accident.
- Property damage deductible: ¥100,000
- Vehicle damage deductible: ¥200,000
- NOC (Non-Operation Charge): ¥200,000 if the vehicle remains drivable / ¥400,000 if it does not
* NOC (Non-Operation Charge) is the compensation the customer is asked to pay for the period during which the vehicle is out of service for repairs, cleaning, etc., following an incident.
To meet the wish of “I’d like to be fully prepared, even for these deductibles,” we offer Optional Coverage Plans.
③ Choose Your Level of Peace of Mind: The Optional Coverage Plans
| Plan | Cost | Property & Vehicle Deductibles | NOC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Plan | Free (included for everyone) | Applies as usual | Applies as usual |
| Enhanced Coverage Plan |
¥4,000/day | Waived | Applies as usual |
| Comprehensive Coverage Plan |
¥6,000/day | Waived | Waived |
- Enhanced Coverage Plan: Waives the property and vehicle damage deductibles
- Comprehensive Coverage Plan: Includes everything in the Enhanced Coverage Plan, plus a full NOC waiver
You can choose whether or not to add a plan based on your own comfort level and the length of your stay.
The new Long-Term Discount applies specifically to the cost of these Optional Coverage Plans (Enhanced & Comprehensive).
The New Optional Coverage Pricing
The longer you rent, the more the daily price of the Enhanced and Comprehensive plans drops in steps.
Discounts begin from day 6, with savings of up to 87.5% OFF.
■ Enhanced Coverage Plan (Waives property & vehicle deductibles)
| Days | Daily Price | Discount |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1–5 | ¥4,000 | — |
| Days 6–10 | ¥2,000 | 50% OFF |
| Days 11–20 | ¥1,000 | 75% OFF |
| Day 21 onward | ¥500 | 87.5% OFF |
■ Comprehensive Coverage Plan (Waives all deductibles plus NOC)
| Days | Daily Price | Discount |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1–5 | ¥6,000 | — |
| Days 6–10 | ¥3,000 | 50% OFF |
| Days 11–20 | ¥1,500 | 75% OFF |
| Day 21 onward | ¥800 | 87.5% OFF |
* Discounts apply in steps. For example, a 10-day rental will combine “Days 1–5 at the standard rate / Days 6–10 at 50% OFF.”
Example: A 10-Day Rental on the Comprehensive Coverage Plan
Let’s take a concrete example to see how much you can save.
- Previous price (before): ¥6,000 × 10 days = ¥60,000
- New price (after): ¥45,000
→ A saving of ¥15,000.
The longer your rental, the greater the savings. For 20-day or month-long trips, the difference becomes even more significant—please use the simulator introduced below to check your own numbers.

Why We Created This Discount
The longer a traveler rents, the higher the total cost of an Optional Coverage Plan can grow.
We have always been mindful that this can make some travelers hesitate to fully secure their peace of mind on a long journey.
Among those who choose CLOUD NINE CAMPING JAPAN, we see:
- Travelers who spend two weeks making their way from Kansai all the way to Tohoku
- Travelers who take the ferry to Hokkaido, loop around the entire island, and return
- Travelers who stay in a single region for an extended time, living and traveling like a local
—Many of our guests are seriously and deeply exploring Japan.
We wanted to respond, in concrete pricing terms, to the wish to “travel Japan long, safely, and at one’s own pace.”
That is the starting point of this Long-Term Discount.
When to Sign Up — Take Your Time at Pickup
If, while reading this article, you started to worry, “Do I really need to decide everything about insurance before I book?”—please rest assured.
You do not need to decide on the Optional Coverage Plan (Enhanced or Comprehensive) at the time of booking.
You will be invited to make your choice at pickup on the day of your rental, calmly and on the spot.
On the day, our staff will use a video and printed materials to carefully walk you through the insurance system, what the basic insurance covers, the deductibles, NOC, and the differences between the Enhanced and Comprehensive plans.
Even if you’re concerned about the language barrier, the visual materials make everything easy to understand before you decide.
For that reason, there is no need to contact us in advance about Optional Coverage at the time of booking.
Please feel free to book first, and when you arrive on the day, ask us anything—including anything that feels uncertain.
