What types of cars can I rent in Helsinki?
Affordability, ease of parking and excellent mileage are some of the reasons compact vehicles are the top choice in Helsinki. Their small size makes them ideal for city driving. They’re a great option for solo travellers, couples and families on a budget. Of course, how you get around is your call! Go even smaller with a mini or economy, or give yourself more room with an intermediate or a full-size. Need a little luxury? You’ll like our premium options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Helsinki?
With your own set of wheels, discovering the surrounding areas is a cinch. Helsinki is a wonderful place to start, but there’s so much more to keep you busy in the region. Pick up the keys to a home, throw your bags in the trunk and check out these other awesome spots:

  • You’ll feel the rhythm of bustling city life as soon as you pull into Tampere. Some 161 kilometres from Helsinki, it’s home to a ton of exciting spots to explore, like Sarkanniemi.
  • Another destination that’s a hit with travellers is Turku, around 153 kilometres away. University of Turku is just one of the many reasons why people love coming here.
  • Escape the city’s hustle and bustle at Yyteri Beach. Approximately 241 kilometres from Helsinki, it’s a terrific place to reconnect with nature.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Helsinki?
Drivers aged 20 and above can road trip around Helsinki in a home vehicle. If you’re a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You’ll usually be limited to a few car categories, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to buy inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Helsinki?
Before you can take the wheel in Helsinki, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you decline to take out the company’s insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Rules may vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you select a home provider.
What side of the road do you drive on in Helsinki?
Traffic drives on the right and passes on the left in Finland — the same side as in the U.S. Navigating around Helsinki won’t be exactly the same as home, though. It’s a good idea to acquaint yourself with the local traffic rules.
What is the cheapest car rental in Helsinki?
The lowest car rental price in Helsinki within the past seven days was AU$185 per day. The next best deal was AU$191. These rates were available on Expedia, with a home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Helsinki?
Whether you plan to stay in Helsinki or explore beyond, you can book a long-term holiday home with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll help you find cheap long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Helsinki car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Helsinki providers will rent to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
