Early Booking Discount

Rovaniemi airport is a popular tourist destination, so car rental is consistently in demand. The earlier you book a car, the more options there will be and the lower the prices will be. Choose transport online at least 6 weeks before your visit. Better yet, do it as soon as you start planning your vacation. If plans change, you can cancel your booking without penalty up to 48 hours before it starts.

Which car to choose for rent

Tourists who expect to drive only around the city and its immediate surroundings prefer to rent compact cars, Toyota Aygo or Opel Corsa.

An all-wheel drive crossover would be the ideal car for this. Renting Opel Insignia Estate in Rovaniemi airport will cost €36 per day.
