Hiring a Car at Helsinki Airport

Being the primary international gateway to Finland, Helsinki Airport (also known as Helsinki-Vantaa Airport) hosts a plethora of car rental agencies ready to serve every traveler's need. Before you start your Finnish adventure:

1. Advance Booking: During peak seasons, festivals, or international events, it's advisable to reserve your car ahead of time. This ensures competitive rates and confirms the availability of your chosen vehicle.

2. Documentation: Make sure you have your valid driving license, an international driving permit (for non-EU citizens when required), and a credit card for car rentals in Finland.

3. Vehicle Familiarization: Given Helsinki's northern location, winters can be challenging. Take time to familiarize yourself with the vehicle, particularly any winter-specific features.

Exiting the Airport & Road Conditions

• Exit Roads: From Helsinki Airport, you'll connect to the Ring III (Kehä III) road, which leads to various parts of the city and connects to major highways.

• Road Conditions: Finland is renowned for its excellent road infrastructure. However, given Helsinki's climatic conditions, expect snowy or icy roads during winter months. Ensure your rental vehicle is equipped with winter tires, a requirement from December to February.

• Tolls: Unlike some European countries, Finland doesn't have toll roads. However, do be aware of parking fees when in Helsinki's city center or popular attractions.

• Traffic: As with any capital city, Helsinki experiences traffic congestion, especially during rush hours (roughly 7-9 am and 4-6 pm). However, once outside the central areas, traffic is generally smooth-flowing.
