KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Espoo
- Hiring a car to drive around Espoo when touring the city has many benefits compared to public transport. Using car hires in Espoo allow you to explore several parts of the city at your pace and within your preferred time. With a hire car, you can quickly visit several attractions, including Nuuksio National Park, Suomenlinna Fortress, Porvoo, and Hanko, and even spend more time in a single location. If you are visiting Espoo with family or a group of friends, hiring a car will be convenient in terms of space for luggage.
- You can hire a car at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (HEL), Tampere-Pirkkala Airport (TMP), and Turku Airport (TKU). TMP airport is 145 km (78 miles), HEL airport is 27 km (17 miles), and TKU airport is 135 km (83 miles) away from Espoo. The car hires in Espoo at HEL are located in a separate facility, the Car Hire Centre, next to Terminal 2, and within walking distance from Terminals 1 and 2. HEL also offers shuttle services to the Car Hire Centre at the shuttle stops outside both terminals, operating at regular intervals throughout the day. The pick-up location is at the car parks at the car hire entrance. The car hire desks in TMP and TKU are in the terminal building next to the Arrivals areas. The on-site car hires in Espoo at the airport include Budget, Sixt, Europcar, Enterprise, Avis, and Hertz.
- Wearing seat belts is mandatory when using car hires in Espoo, and kids below 12 years, or shorter than 135 cm (4 ft 5 inches), must be in appropriate child restraints. Therefore, ensure you have your child seat if visiting with kids, and adhere to the seat belt rules. Pedestrians in Espoo have the right of way in crossings and intersections, so watch out for pedestrians as they may unexpectedly cross the road.
- The rush hours in Espoo are from 0730 to 09:00 and 16:00 to 18:00, when residents are commuting to and from work. Avoid major roads, including Länsiväylä (Highway 51/E18) and Turunväylä (Highway 1/E18), as they get heavier traffic during peak hours. Espoo also experiences cold winters, which may make roads slippery and icy. When visiting Espoo during the winter, ensure you hire a vehicle with winter tyres to move steadily on the icy and slippery roads.
- Book your rental car in Espoo at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

The vehicles are also fuel efficient and are suitable for long drives.

Always check for speed signage along the roads, which may change occasionally. Espoo also has speed cameras in certain locations within the city; therefore, ensure you are driving within the set limits to avoid possible fines for violation of speed limit rules.
