The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Helsinki are: BMW X3, BMW X5, Toyota Rav4, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sportage, Suzuki Jimny and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Finland ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Finland are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
The majority of roads in the country are very loaded on weekends and during holidays. Many citizens prefer to leave cities on weekends and move to their country houses, so the possibility of getting stuck in a traffic jam is very high.
Experienced drivers will be certainly pleased with the infrastructure of local roads. There are always many hotels and motels of various levels near large roads, as well as attractive restaurants and cafes, petrol stations, shops, and other facilities that will be certainly useful for drivers.
Of course, Finnish roads also have some disadvantages. Poor condition of some roads is one of them. If you see the road sign with the 40 km/h mark, it is likely that one of those poor quality roads lies ahead.
