Make sure your rental agreement, identification, and insurance details are accessible throughout your rental period for easy retrieval if needed.

Prior to booking, read through the rental agreement thoroughly for any hidden fees, such as airport surcharges, additional driver costs, or penalties for late returns. Being informed is essential for budgeting.

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.

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.

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
