Mangrove Rent-a-Car
マングローブレンタカーCar rentalKume-jima
Mangrove Rent-a-Car rents mostly kei cars on Kume-jima, with a counter at Kumejima Airport for direct pickup and return, and since April 2025 no handovers at Kaneshiro port.
Fly in and you can collect the car at the airport counter and drive straight off, which saves the shuttle. Since 1 April 2025 the company no longer meets boats at Kaneshiro port, so ferry passengers take the bus or a taxi to the office in Gima. The fleet leans on small kei cars that handle the island's narrow village lanes.
Plan your fuel. Every petrol station on Kume-jima closes on Sundays, and the company asks Sunday returns to buy its fuel pack.
