Insurance and optional extras

Good to know

  • Rental age requirements generally aren't a one-size-fits-all. Companies can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you could encounter extra costs or restrictions. Check the rules for the supplier you choose before booking your rental in Finland.

  • If the kids are tagging along, check if you need to add a child car seat to your Jyvaskyla car hire booking. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.

  • You'll have to provide some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.

  • Familiarise yourself with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get used to its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Finland.

  • Keep within local speed limits of about 45kph through urban areas and around 95kph on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Finland is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the surest choice is to avoid drinks so you remain legal to drive.

  • Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the euro (EUR) here. As well as your bank cards, have some cash handy for smaller purchases.
