Car Hire in Meri-Rastila, Helsinki, Finland

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 returning the car, clarify the return procedures with the rental agency. Knowing where to drop off the vehicle and any necessary inspections can ease the process.

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.

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

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

Research toll roads on your travel route and familiarize yourself with their payment methods. Some rental agencies offer toll transponders for convenience.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

When looking at insurance, consider options with zero excess coverage, meaning you won’t need to pay a deductible for damages, providing extra peace of mind.
