Cheap National Car Hire in Oulu

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Knowing where to park can save you both time and money; check for fees and space.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Oulu, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

When hiring a car in Oulu, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like National. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Choose car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these often indicate better service, newer cars, and more convenient pickup locations. For Oulu, we have car hire deals from 22 suppliers. Among them, National has a rating of 4.2, AVIS has a rating of 4.7, Keddy by Europcar has a rating of 4.7 and Autounion has a rating of 4.6.

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.
