Rovaniemi car hires from £19/day

The obvious choice for Rovaniemi car hire is to go with a 4x4, simply for the extra grip it will afford on the roads, not necessarily in which to go off-roading. Since you won’t have to worry about any traffic you can go as big as you like on this, and make sure that everyone has plenty of room and a good view out of the windows. Smaller SUVs are also popular up here, especially the 2x4 varieties. Of course it’s equally feasible to get a hatchback or a similar economy car if you’re visiting alone or as a couple.

Speed limits in Finland are consistent across the country, so you’ll have to be aware of two main ones in Rovaniemi. The speed limit in residential areas and the town centre is 50km/h (about 30mph). There are sign posts to this effect in those areas. In the outlying, more rural parts of the town if you’re on a wider road the speed limit increases to 80km/h (about 50mph).

There’s a universal parking fee that covers the whole of the centre of Rovaniemi, with ticket vending machines everywhere. You need to put the ticket on your dashboard so that it is easily visible through your windscreen. The cost is around €1.40 (around £1.20). Once you’re beyond the centre of town, parking is free, but not recommended as it will be a long walk in from there.

In Rovaniemi, like the rest of Finland, the legal blood alcohol concentration limit for drivers is 0.05%.

If you plan on enjoying some alcoholic beverages, it's recommended to use public transportation or a taxi in this instance.
