Detailed FAQ on the rental process
The parking time limit is a typical parameter in parking lots located in the central area of Helsinki. Every parking lot here has the time limit – four hours. This means that it is not possible to pay for a longer period. If you need to park your car for more than four hours, then you should go back to the parking lot later and make one more payment using the parking machine.
In some cities in Finland, it is possible to use free parking lots only for a limited period of time and only if you have a special parking clock. This clock can be purchased at any petrol station or in a shop for motorists. Such parking lots usually have special boards that indicate the maximum time of parking.
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.
