This is the official app for ``Carstay,'' which allows you to easily reserve camper car sharing, rentals, RV parks, camping spots, and sightseeing experiences throughout Japan.
[Features of the app]
■App usage fee is free!
There are no initial costs or monthly usage fees. You will only pay the fee when you reserve a campervan, overnight spot, or sightseeing experience.
■Japan's largest list of camper cars with over 500 vehicles! More than 350 spots for sleeping in your car are listed nationwide!
We list campers, camping spots, and experience activities that have passed Carstay's screening and have a high level of satisfaction. Both cars and travel destinations can be booked using the Carstay app.
■Offered at a great price
Unlike commercial purposes such as rental cars, car sharing of a camper is a contract for shared use between individuals, so it can be used at a slightly lower cost than renting.
