NOC means non-operation charge. A driven return must meet the operator's conditions. “Not stated” is unknown, never zero. Waiver fees retain each operator's day or 24-hour unit; the packages are not equivalent. Waiver sorting puts included CDW first, then separately charged fees by their published lower bound, with class and region limits retained. It does not convert day and 24-hour rates.
No operator matches that name. Clear the search or use Reset to see all ten.

What non-operation charges can remain after CDW?
NOC compensates the operator for loss of use. A deductible waiver alone does not generally remove it.

Methods and scope
We checked 66 candidate figures and kept 66, using the ten operators’ own Japan policies. The comparison includes every class band and region stated in those cited tariffs. The figures describe published terms, not a survey of bookings or Japan-wide average prices.
All amounts are yen. Day and 24-hour units stay separate. The calculator multiplies the selected tariff by the billable periods you enter; monthly caps apply only where the operator states them. ORIX’s CDW and RAP have different class boundaries, so select both fees from your quote. A quoted, unlisted NOC option is not assumed to be free.
Budget’s linked PDF separates bookings made by 31 March 2026 from later reservations and lists special-class exceptions. ORIX’s numeric CDW and RAP rates are published as images. NICONICO’s included CDW does not remove its single-car damage or repeat-accident restrictions. JR affiliated suppliers can have different policies.
The source pages were re-read on 19 October 2026. Most have no publication date, so the citation tags say “accessed”. Rental plans, exclusions and the actual vehicle can change the applicable charge. Uncovered losses can exceed the displayed NOC or deductible. The next scheduled review is January 2027.
