The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Lahti 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
It is really simple to use the parking clock. When you arrive at the parking lot, you must use the clock to set time, rounding it up to half an hour. Then you must put the clock on a visible place in the front window. The clock must be placed in the center of the windscreen or on the driver’s side. There must be no other items on the windscreen at the same time with the clock.
The speed limit in Finland is checked by radars and cameras that are installed literally everywhere. According to local regulations, it is prohibited to use and even carry anti-radar equipment and other similar devices. The violation of this rule will result in a heavy fine.
The fine for exceeding the speed depends on how much you exceed it. For example, if the maximum allowed speed was exceeded by at least 20 km/h and this was the first violation of this kind for a driver, he can get only a warning. If the driver is caught for the second time, he shouldn’t hope for one more warning. In case of a serious violation, the amount of the fine depends on the level of income of the offender.
