Tallinn car rentals

If budget is not a consideration and your travel party is small, any type of Tallinn car hire is a good choice. Bear in mind that small economy cars and compacts handle better on narrow streets, while SUVs and luxury cars provide a more comfortable ride on the open road.

The legal speed limit within urban districts in Tallinn is about 50km/h (30mph) and driving through rural areas the limit is 90km/h (55mph). During the summer when primary roads and highways are free of ice, motorists can drive at speeds between 110 and 120km/h (65mph to 75mph). During the frigid winter months it is imperative to observe posted signs for your own safety and that of your fellow drivers. It is likely that electronic monitoring equipment will be in use, which is further reason to drive with caution when on the road.

The City of Tallinn offers on-street paid parking in four zones. Within Tallinn city centre it costs about €1.50 (£1.30) per hour, within the Old Town around €6 (£5.25) per hour, within the downtown area about €4.80 (£4.20) per hour, and in Pirita (beach and recreational parking) around €0.60 (£0.55) per hour. These are mostly pay-and-display zones where the first 15min is always free (unless you’re in a private car park). Parking is free anywhere else in the city unless otherwise restricted. The hours of operation vary by location but are generally from 07:00 to 19:00, Monday to Friday, with some car parks open 24h a day. It is advisable to read all relevant signs before you leave your car.
