Book Cheap budget Car Hire Deals in Ala-Malmi, Helsinki, Finland

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

If you plan to have someone else drive, check if the rental company permits a second driver and whether there are extra fees involved. Some may offer free additional drivers under specific conditions.

To evade additional charges, return the rental car on schedule. Familiarize yourself with the agreed return time to prevent any surprises.

Before renting, check if your personal auto insurance extends to rental cars. Many policies and credit cards offer rental coverage, helping you save on insurance costs.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

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

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Ask the rental agency about any specific local driving challenges or conditions. This can help you prepare for potential difficulties during your journey.
