A beautiful town located on the Ivalo River, Ivalo would be a perfect base for a Northern Lapland staycation. A popular place to go and see the Northern Lights, we recommend visiting Ukonjärvi lake on a clear night – just make sure you wrap up warm. If you’re a husky fan, there are various tours and visits where you can meet and fuss the huskies and also have them lead you across the beautiful snow. If you’re looking for adventure, head on over to River Ivalojoki where you can go canoeing, fishing, skiing and snowmobiling (some of these are seasonal, so check before you travel).

Tips for renting a car in Ivalo Airport

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.

Vuokra-auto Ivalo – Vinkkejä ajamiseen

Onko auto tarpeen Ivalossa?

Auto on erittäin suositeltava Ivalossa, varsinkin jos aiot tutkia ympäröivää Lappia, kuten Urho Kekkosen kansallispuistoa tai lähialueen kohteita, kuten Saariselkää. Julkisen liikenteen vaihtoehdot ovat rajallisia, ja auto antaa vapauden liikkua omaan tahtiin.

Onko ajaminen Lapissa vaikeaa?

Ajaminen Lapissa voi olla haastavaa, erityisesti talvikuukausina, mutta suomalaiselle varovaisuus talvisilla teillä onkin jo tuttua! Tiet ovat kuitenkin yleensä hyvin hoidettuja, ja talvirenkaiden sekä varovaisen ajotavan avulla ajaminen onnistuu. Varo erityisesti poroja ja hirviä, jotka voivat ylittää tiet yllättäen.

Kumpi on parempi, Ivalo vai Rovaniemi?

Valinta riippuu siitä, mitä etsit. Rovaniemi on suurempi ja tunnetumpi matkailukohde, jossa sijaitsee muun muassa Joulupukin Pajakylä ja enemmän ostos- ja ravintolavaihtoehtoja. Ivalo puolestaan tarjoaa rauhallisemman ja luonnonläheisemmän Lapin kokemuksen, joka sopii erityisesti ulkoilma-aktiviteeteista ja erämaasta nauttiville. Yhdistät molemmat myös helposti samalle reissulle, kun ajelet vuokra-autolla ympäri Lappia!

Voiko Ivalossa nähdä revontulia?

Kyllä, Ivalo on erinomainen paikka revontulien (Aurora Borealis) katseluun. Alueen pohjoinen sijainti, vähäinen valosaaste ja pimeät talvitaivaat tarjoavat ihanteelliset olosuhteet revontulien näkemiseen erityisesti syyskuusta maaliskuuhun.
