Pick up your vehicle at CJU arrivals and drive straight onto Route 1132 or inland routes within minutes.
Jeju International Airport sits 5 km west of the city centre on the island's north coast. The terminal handles both domestic and international arrivals, and rental desks occupy a dedicated zone in the arrivals hall. If you land in the evening or prefer a meet-and-greet handover, some companies send a representative with a name-board to the exit - your voucher confirms the method.
This page focuses on vehicles collected inside or immediately outside the airport terminal. If you plan to explore downtown Jeju first and collect a car from a city-centre office later, visit our Jeju page for models and pick-up points closer to Yeon-dong and the harbour area. Airport collection suits travellers who want to start driving the moment baggage clears customs, heading east to Seongsan or south toward Jungmun without entering the city.
We list cars that qualify for no-deposit and no-credit-card rental at this location. Each model specifies payment requirements - booking advance online by card, remaining balance at the counter with debit card or cash depending on the vehicle. Route 1132 runs directly past the terminal exit, giving instant access to the full coastal loop or connections to Route 1136 for inland climbs toward Hallasan.
Four steps separate you from the driver's seat after touchdown. Flight delays are covered when you provide your booking number during reservation.
Collect checked bags, pass through immigration if arriving internationally, and exit into the arrivals hall. Keep your phone handy for any last-minute messages from the rental company.
Check your voucher for the desk location or meet-and-greet instructions. Counters line the arrivals concourse; some companies ask you to call a local number and wait near a designated pillar for a representative.
Show your driving licence, International Driving Permit, passport, and booking voucher. The agent prints the rental agreement, notes any pre-existing damage, and explains the fuel policy. You pay the balance by the method stated in your voucher.
Walk to the car-park bay - usually within 100 metres of the terminal. Inspect lights, tyres, and windscreen; photograph anything already marked. Exit onto Route 1132 eastbound for coastal towns or Route 1136 southbound for mountain trailheads.
To narrow results to Jeju Airport only, click inside the booking widget above and use the "Specify location" drop-down to select CJU. The search engine will then display vehicles stationed at the terminal rather than mixing in city-centre offices.
Five popular routes radiate from the terminal exit. Times assume dry conditions and moderate traffic; add a buffer during typhoon season in August and September.

Models listed are examples drawn from airport stock. The actual fleet depends on season, demand, and overnight returns. Run a search in the widget above to see which cars match your dates and qualify for no-deposit or no-credit-card terms.
Small details smooth the handover process and help you avoid surprises when dropping the car back at CJU before departure.
Not every car at CJU qualifies for zero-deposit or debit-card payment. Each model in the search results states its own conditions - treat them as independent attributes rather than a blanket policy.
Run a date search in the widget above. Each result card displays badges if the vehicle allows no-deposit rental or accepts payment without a credit card. These two features are separate: a car might waive the security hold but still require a credit card for the balance, or vice versa. Read the payment section under each model before confirming.
If a car does require a deposit, the amount and method appear in the terms. Remember that a deposit is a temporary hold by the local rental company - completely separate from any excess or damage waiver. Choosing a no-deposit car simply means no funds are frozen on your card during the rental period.
When you reserve online, you pay a booking advance by card through our secure gateway. Cash is not accepted at this stage. The voucher then specifies how to settle the remaining balance at the airport counter - some cars allow debit card or cash, others ask for a credit card. The exact method depends on the vehicle you select, not its size or class.
Travellers without a credit card should either filter results to show only debit-friendly models or consider raising the transaction limit on their existing debit card to cover both the balance and any hold if the car does require one. Full details about payment and advance procedures, including which cards we accept online, are explained on our dedicated payments page.
Answers to common queries about collecting and returning a car at CJU.
CJU lies 5 km west of downtown Jeju. Route 1132 connects the terminal exit to the harbour area and Yeon-dong hotels in roughly 10 minutes under normal traffic. If you need a car in the city itself rather than at the airport, see our main Jeju car rental overview for alternative pick-up points.
Yes, but only for specific models. Each car in the search results shows which payment methods it accepts. Some allow debit card or cash for the balance at pick-up; others require a credit card. Filter by payment type or read the terms under each listing before booking.
It depends on the car. Vehicles marked "No Deposit" do not place any hold on your card. Other models may block a sum as security, separate from your rental cost and any damage waiver. The deposit policy appears in each car's details before you confirm the reservation.
Most companies operate desks in the arrivals hall; look for rental-company signage after you exit customs. A few use meet-and-greet service - a representative waits near the arrivals gate holding a board with your name. Your voucher states the exact method and includes a contact number if you cannot locate the desk.
Present a valid driving licence, International Driving Permit, passport, and the booking voucher on your phone or printed. The agent will photocopy the licence and IDP, then ask you to sign the rental agreement, which lists any pre-existing scratches or dents.
Some companies offer key-drop boxes for after-hours returns; others require you to hand keys to staff during opening times, typically 08:00-20:00. Check your voucher or contact the local office in advance if your departure flight leaves very early or very late. Out-of-hours return may incur an additional service fee depending on the provider.
Collecting a car at CJU puts you on Route 1132 within minutes of landing, ready to reach Seongsan, Jungmun, or the Hallasan trailheads without backtracking through city traffic. Filter by no-deposit and payment preferences in the search above, compare models, and book the vehicle that matches your route.
