KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lahti
- Opting for car hire in Lahti affords you a level of flexibility and convenience that public transport simply cannot match. This means you can explore the city and the stunning Finnish surroundings on your own timetable. One such place you might consider visiting is the picturesque town of Porvoo, which is just over an hour's drive from Lahti. This charming medieval town is one of the oldest in Finland, with cobblestone streets, old wooden houses and the iconic red shore houses along the Porvoo River. If you don’t fancy the sound of this, you could pay a visit to Repovesi National Park, roughly an hour and a half drive from Lahti. Here, you can experience the beauty of Finnish nature, with its vast forests, crystal clear lakes, and diverse wildlife.
- At Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (HEL), you'll find the car hire desks located in the corridor between terminals 1 and 2. Upon arrival, follow the signs. To hire a car, you’ll need to present your driving licence, passport, and a credit/debit card to the hire company. If you're visiting from outside the European Union, you might also need an International Driving Permit (IDP), so make sure to check this in advance.
- After opting for car hire in Lahti, driving is a fairly hassle-free experience. The quality of roads in and around Lahti is excellent, as they are well-maintained and clearly marked. Finnish drivers are generally known for their orderly driving style. You will generally be sharing the road with drivers who adhere to speed limits, use signals properly, and are respectful of pedestrians and cyclists. Lastly, navigating in Lahti is relatively easy, as it has a more grid-like layout than many European cities.
- If you’re visiting in the autumn or winter, you should be aware that weather conditions can be severe. As such, winter tyres are mandatory during the colder months, so when opting for car hire in Lahti. Additionally, in the more rural areas around Lahti, you might encounter wildlife crossing the road unexpectedly, particularly deer. It’s important to remain vigilant at all times, but especially careful around dawn and dusk, when the animals are most active.
- Book your rental car in Lahti at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

What type of car is recommended for driving in Lahti?
If you're primarily staying within the city and doing urban driving, a small to medium-sized car would likely be sufficient. These vehicles are typically easier to manoeuvre through city traffic, more fuel-efficient, and easier to park in tighter city spaces. On the other hand, if you're planning to explore the rural areas surrounding Lahti, or plan to visit during the winter months, a larger vehicle or even a 4x4 might be more suitable.
What’s the speed limit in Lahti?
The speed limits in and around Lahti are clearly marked and vary based on the type of road and the time of year. In urban areas, the speed limit is typically 50 km/h (30 mph). When you venture outside urban areas, speed limits generally increase to 80 km/h (50 mph) or even up to 100 km/h (62 mph) on larger roads and motorways. However, these limits can drop to 80 km/h or lower on many roads during the winter months (typically from November to March), due to the potentially hazardous driving conditions. Be aware that speeding fines in Finland are based on income, and can be extremely high, so it's important to adhere to these limits.
Where are the best places to park in Lahti?
When it comes to parking your Lahti car hire, there are a lot of options. One of the better ones is Kauppatori Car Park, which is an excellent choice due to its proximity to the city centre and the low cost of parking. It costs around €1 per hour (£0.85) during the day, and a reduced rate of €0.5 per hour (£0.30) in the evenings and on weekends. Alternatively, you could park at Lahti Travel Centre, with both short-term and long-term options. Prices range from €0.6 per hour (£0.33) to €6 (£5.20) for a 24-hour period. Finally, you may opt for parking on the street, which usually costs around €1-2 per hour (£0.85 - £1.65).
