To begin your application for a car hire in Helsinki, you will need to know what documents you need. To start with, you need to be at least 18 years old to apply for a Helsinki car hire, and if you are under 25, there is usually an additional fee you will have to pay due to your young age. You will need your driver's licence from your home country. If your licence is not printed using Roman characters, you will need an official translation from your local embassy or from your country of origin; otherwise, you will need an international driving permit to hire cars in Helsinki.
Since Helsinki is a big city, it would be wise to be prepared for a lot of red lights and waiting for queued cars. When driving in Finland, you must drive on the right-hand side of the road and always obey the speed limit according to the type of zone you are in. You must have a seat belt for each occupant of the vehicle in accordance with the law, and if you are riding a motorcycle, you must wear a helmet when riding. All red lights must be obeyed, and anyone caught passing a red light will be fined heavily. Although Finland's limit for blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.5 mg per ml, the safer limit when driving is zero.
Due to the vastness of the city, you have a good chance of finding a cheap car hire in Helsinki. If you are wondering what type of vehicle you will need, it will depend on what you have arranged. If you are planning to stay within the city of Helsinki, it would be fine to hire a small, economy car. If you plan to travel more in Finland, you might want to hire a bigger, more powerful car.
In most cases, people who hire a car in town will often have accommodation booked; whether it is a hotel or a house, you should have parking available during your stay. If you cannot park at your accommodation, you should still be able to park your hire car on the street in front of where you are staying. As a last resort, you can also find a car park where you can leave your hired car, or you can optionally park it at the dealership you hired it from.
