Question 1

What is the process for returning a car in Helsinki?

Accepted Answer

To return a car in Helsinki station, ensure that the vehicle is in the same condition as when you rented it and that the fuel tank is full.

Question 2

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up.
