Enjoy your rental car in Rovaniemi
If you are driving in Rovaniemi for the first time, we advise you to take the time to get to know the car, the traffic and the route. Remember that in Finland you drive on the right side. We also recommend renting a GPS or use for instance your own phone navigation so you can move around Rovaniemi easily and safely. Feel free to ask our staff for more information!
Traffic jam in Finland is small compared to the world's major cities. Instead of heavy traffic jams you have to watch out for animals moving on the road in Finland such as moose and reindeer.
Reindeer crossings are common, especially in rural areas and forests. These animals often wander near or across roads and are not scared of cars – so always stay alert, especially in the early morning or evening hours. In the winter months, they can be harder to see due to low light. Signs for reindeer are posted along roads, but they can appear in areas without signs, so reduce your speed and be cautious.
When driving on motorways the speed limit is 100-120 km/h. Note however that during the winter months the general speed is limited to 80 km/h. In the cities the speed limit is 50 km/h unless otherwise stated. For your own safety, it is important that you follow local traffic regulations and speed limits.
From late autumn to early spring, snow and ice can make roads slippery even with winter tires, especially outside urban areas. Always drive cautiously and be prepared for changing weather conditions.
Roads are plowed regularly, but during or immediately after snowstorms, they can become slippery or covered with snow, especially in rural or remote areas. Roads might be narrower due to snow buildup on the sides.
If you need help while in Rovaniemi, please contact our office. In an emergency, call the general emergency number 112.

Before renting - choose wisely
In 2019 we introduced our multi-product system which helps you choose a car based on your needs and easily see the final price. Car rental insurance can be tricky to navigate and often isn't what you expect, by booking with us direct you'll receive the correct insurance for your rental.
When you collect your vehicle - plan ahead
We recommend planning your route before you leave, especially when renting a car at an airport. Are you sure where you're meeting your car rental representative or where the rental desk is? Your confirmation email will have the contact information for the location, so we suggest saving the number in your phone ahead of time.
Have the correct documents ready. We try and keep the check in process as easy as possible but we do need to process certain information for legal reasons so having these ready ahead of time can help speed up the process. Make sure you have your booking details ready, along with your driving license, passport and valid credit card.
Complete a vehicle check. It's essential when you are taken to your car you complete a Vehicle Condition Report (VCR) and note any existing damage, paying particular attention to the five damage hotspots. If you don't report this, you may be liable for these damages when you return the vehicle. We don't want you to get caught out, so we've put together a handy vehicle inspection video to help you check everything through.
While you rent - take care
Unfortunately you may be liable for any damage caused to a vehicle in your care, and this will vary depending on the product you choose. A large proportion of damages usually happens in car parks, so be careful. When space is limited, park further away and walk a little further to your destination.
When you return your vehicle - complete a vehicle check
It's time to carry out a VCR again and even more essential to fully write down any damage, no matter how small, to ensure you are fully covered and we can process your return effectively. Be sure to check the vehicle as before, paying special attention to the five damage hotspots.
