Travers , Kittila Airport
The service was excellent, the vehicle was in good condition and fully prepared. Would definitely use again.
Canelo , Rovaniemi Railway Station
Everything was clear and quick, the car was in perfect condition. Very easy to pick up and drop the car. I would rent with Green Motion in another time for sure.
Volkmer , Rovaniemi Airport
Great car, friendly guy at the reception desk who was willing to wait for us due to our re-routed flight to Oulu instead of Rovaniemi.
Le , Kittila Airport
This is my third time renting with Green Motion and each time I am satisfied. I rank Green Motion in the best rental companies in Europe. Will be back for my next trip to Finland in 2023.
Once you have arrived in Finland and picked up your rental car from the designated office, we wish you a safe and enjoyable journey!
In Finland, driving is on the right-hand side. A valid driving license from your home country is required, and depending on your country of origin, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP).
The speed limits in Finland are generally 50 km/h in urban areas, 80-100 km/h on secondary roads, and 120 km/h on highways, but these can vary depending on road conditions and signage. During winter time the speed limits are usually slower.
From November 1 to March 31, winter tires are mandatory, as Finnish winters can bring snow and icy roads. By law, vehicles in Finland must carry a reflective safety vest and a warning triangle, which should be used in case of breakdowns or accidents. Don’t worry – if you choose our rental car, we provide everything you need!
The legal blood alcohol limit in Finland is 0.05%. Penalties for driving under the influence are strict and can include heavy fines, license suspension, or even imprisonment.
Drivers must stop for pedestrians at marked crosswalks, as pedestrians always have the right of way.
Pay attention to parking zones, as paid parking is common in the city center. Be sure to use designated parking spots to avoid fines.
While fuel stations are plentiful in cities and along highways, they may be less frequent in more remote areas, especially in northern Finland. It’s a good idea to fill up your tank when traveling to rural regions.
Finland does not have toll roads, so you can travel freely between cities like Helsinki, Tampere, or Rovaniemi without worrying about toll fees.
If you need any assistance during your stay in Finland, don’t hesitate to contact us. In case of emergencies, dial 112 for all emergency services.
Is it necessary to rent a car in Finland?
Renting a car in Finland is highly recommended if you plan to explore beyond major cities like Helsinki. While public transportation is reliable, having a car offers flexibility to visit remote destinations like Lapland, national parks, and the countryside.
Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) in Finland?
If your driving license is issued in an EU/EEA country, you don’t need an IDP to drive in Finland. For licenses issued outside the EU/EEA, an IDP is recommended, especially if your license is not in English, Swedish, or Finnish.
Are winter tires mandatory in Finland?
Yes, winter tires are mandatory from November 1 to March 31, and studded tires are allowed during this period. If you’re renting a car in winter, it will come equipped with winter tires.
How do I pay for fuel in Finland?
Fuel stations in Finland are self-service, and most accept international credit/debit cards. Keep in mind that some remote stations might require PIN-enabled cards or cash.
Is it safe to drive in Finland during winter?
Driving in Finland during winter is generally safe as long as you are cautious and follow winter driving guidelines. Roads are well-maintained, but icy or snowy conditions require slower speeds and extra attention. Winter tires provide excellent grip.
What should I watch out for while driving in Finland?
Be cautious of wildlife like moose and reindeer, especially in rural and Lapland areas. These animals often wander onto roads, particularly at dawn and dusk. Reduce speed in areas with wildlife warning signs.
Can I take a rental car across borders to other Nordic countries?
Yes, as many other car rental companies in Finland, we also allow cross-border travel to neighboring countries like Sweden and Norway. However, always inform us in advance, as additional fees or documentation may be required.
