Driving Tips for Finland
Driving your rental car in Finland will be easier and safer with these driving tips:
- Winter tires: If you rent a car in Finland from December to March, make sure it has winter tires—preferably studded—to help you navigate the snowy, icy roads.
- Headlights: Your headlights must always be on while you are driving in Finland.
- Right of way: Always yield the right of way to buses and trams.
- Don’t idle: In Finland, drivers are not allowed to have their engine on and idle for more than 2 minutes, or 4 minutes in severe cold. Getting stuck in traffic is the exception.
- Speed limits: Finland city roads have a speed limit of 50 km/h (31 mph). Less densely built-up areas have a speed limit of between 80–100 km/h (50–62 mph). Motorways max out at 100km/h (62 mph), except in summer, when the limit is 120km/h (74 mph).
- Watch out for animals: Wildlife often wanders onto the road—even major roads. Be vigilant, especially around sunrise and sunset.
