What our customers say

Honestly, couldn't fault it. Car was mint. Staff were friendly and so helpful. No language barrier either. We've already used zest for our trip in oslo Norway next month.

Which car rental company should I book with at Rovaniemi Airport?

All car rental desks are conveniently grouped together in a service corridor within the Arrivals Hall, making them easy to find as soon as you clear baggage reclaim.

Unlock the real Lapland

Rovaniemi Airport is the gateway to an Arctic wonderland. With a rental car, you are just 5 minutes away from Santa Claus Village, where you can cross the Arctic Circle and meet the man himself. For a day of wildlife discovery, drive an hour south to Ranua Wildlife Park to see arctic animals in their natural habitats. If you are seeking outdoor adventure, Pyhä-Luosto National Park offers spectacular hiking and scenery just 90 minutes north via the well-maintained E75 highway.

One Way Rentals from Rovaniemi Airport

Pick up your car at Rovaniemi Airport and drop it off in Kittilä, Ivalo, or even Helsinki. One-way rentals are a popular way to traverse the beautiful Finnish landscape without needing to return to your starting point, giving you more time to explore Lapland’s fells and forests.

Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.

Driver Age Requirements in Rovaniemi

Can I rent a car in Rovaniemi if I am under 25?
Yes. While many providers apply a Young Driver Surcharge and may restrict access to specific vehicle categories, there are options available for younger drivers with a full, valid licence. Minimum age requirements typically vary by provider.

Can I rent a car in Rovaniemi if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely welcomed in Finland. While some providers may have upper age limits for certain premium models, most standard rentals have no additional fees or restrictions.

What is the best time of year to explore Rovaniemi by car?

Winter (December to March) is the most popular time for snow-seekers and Northern Lights enthusiasts, though it requires confident driving in Arctic conditions. The shoulder seasons of late Autumn and Spring offer beautiful transitional scenery, while the summer months provide the unique experience of the midnight sun and easy driving on clear roads.

Essential Tips for Driving in Finland

In Finland, dipped headlights must be used at all times, 24 hours a day, by law. The national motorway network is currently toll-free. Winter tyres are required in Finland during winter driving conditions, typically between November and March depending on weather and road conditions. Vehicles are almost always equipped with winter tyres during this period. Tyres must be suitable for icy and snowy conditions; in practice this means winter tyres designed for Nordic conditions (such as those generally marked with the Alpine 3PMSF symbol) or studded tyres where permitted. Always be alert for native wildlife like reindeer and moose, especially when driving during twilight hours. All specific details regarding your rental and the provider's rules will be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
