On the morning of the exam day, worrying about whether you'll be able to get to the venue at all—that kind of anxiety can be reduced by securing your place.
On the early morning of the 2027 University Entrance Common Test, from your front door to the exam venue, door-to-door service. With a private jumbo taxi, you can send off your family members with peace of mind, while watching them from afar.
"Will I be able to make the first train? What if the train is cancelled because of the snow? What if I can't get a taxi on the day of the test?"—We often hear parents who are sending their children to college say they are restless from the night before. In this article, we answer frequently asked questions from parents regarding the early morning shuttle for the University Entrance Examination 2027. The coverage area is centered on the 23 wards of Tokyo, Saitama, and Chiba prefectures.
Common Test 2027: Why being up early in the morning is a cause for concern
First, let’s check the prerequisites. The main exam for the 2027 (Kyūryū 9) university entrance exam will be held on Saturday and Sunday, January 16 and 17, 2027 (with a retake on January 23 and 24). The first subject at many locations will start at 9:30 AM, so test-takers will have to start their journey early in the morning.
The anxiety that is easy to accumulate is unique to early winter mornings.
The month of January is the coldest time of the year. Moving around early in the morning brings with it worries that are not present in other seasons.
Disruption in public transportation
Due to snow and freezing temperatures, trains and buses may be delayed or canceled, and there is no time to find alternative transportation.
The venue is far from the station.
If the assigned venue is located away from the nearest station, I have to walk on unfamiliar roads with heavy luggage.
Taxi shortage on the day
In the early morning on exam day, students with similar circumstances tend to gather together, making it difficult to get a taxi.
Moving around while worrying about whether the train will be late will also affect your concentration before the big day. That’s why it’s a good idea to have something reassuring in place in advance, even if it’s just a footstep.
Pick-up and drop-off on the day of the exam, common questions
We answer frequently asked questions from parents.
How many people can ride? Can the parents also ride?
The Jumbo Taxi (High Ace Wide) can accommodate up to nine people. Not only the examinee themselves, but also their accompanying guardians and siblings can also ride along. It is also possible to have the guardian take them to the venue and then return home immediately afterwards.
Can you come in the early morning? Is there an extra charge for late or early morning visits?
We also offer pick-up service earlier than the earliest time. Our company does not set any additional fees based on time of day, so you can easily see the estimated cost of your pick-up regardless of the time. We suggest a departure time that is flexible based on the arrival time.
Do you just send it to the venue? Can I wait for it?
In addition to sending students one way, we can also arrange for them to wait at the venue during the exam period and pick them up immediately after the exam ends. You can choose to combine one-way, round-trip, or waiting service to suit your family's schedule.
Can I order on both the 16th and 17th with the same conditions?
You can also arrange to use the service on a daily basis. If you book for two consecutive days with the same driver and destination, the second day will be more convenient and your day-of-travel arrangements will be smoother.
If the road is crowded on that day, will it be possible to make it in time?
On the day of the exam, we set an early departure time to take into account the risk of delays. To ensure you don’t panic even if there are traffic jams or weather disruptions, we suggest a plan with ample time to arrive. Our professional driver’s knowledge of the local roads is also reassuring.
Can I pack books, a jacket, and lunch?
The day of the exam, you’ll have to carry an unexpected amount of luggage—reference books you want to look at in advance, warm clothes, and lunch and drinks. Since there’s plenty of space inside the car, you don’t have to carry them on your lap, so you can move around while going through your final review inside the car.
Point:The exam is a day you can’t fail. It’s often chosen with the mindset that you want to reduce the uncertainty of travel, even if it costs a little more—this is a service that many people choose.
Pricing and how to calculate the number of people
Since chartering is based on a per-vehicle fee, if parents or siblings also ride along, the burden on each person will be reduced. The exact fee will vary depending on the distance from your home to the venue, whether it’s a one-way trip, and whether there’s waiting time. The final amount will be determined based on the following factors:web formThe quote you get there is the most reliable (Pricing pageAs a guide, please).
An honest look at whether or not you are suited for it:If the venue is close to your home and you can get there safely on foot or by bicycle, you might not need a shuttle service. However, if you are far from the station, have a lot of transfers to make, or are concerned about traffic in the early morning, the comfort of renting a private vehicle will be invaluable.
