ALAMO Car Rental at Helsinki Airport

Helsinki Airport is located in the commuter town of Vantaa, a 17 km distance to the north of Helsinki's city center, close to a number of reasonably priced hotels.

There are many car rental providers servicing Helsinki Airport with rental counters located at the terminals and these can be found in the Car Rental Center in the corridor connecting the two passenger terminals. Alamo's partner company in this case is Europcar, which provides Alamo customers with service via their own rental desk at the airport.

Rental car returns for all providers are handled at parking lot P3B, which is sign-posted throughout the airport.

Alamo customers with the wish to make a reservation or looking for more information should either head to the Europcar rental desk at the airport or contact Alamo in advance online at the company's website at www.alamo.com.

The rental office opening times of Alamo's partner company Europcar are from Mondays to Fridays from 06.00 am to midnight; on Saturdays from 08.00 am to 08.00 pm and Sundays from 09.00 am to midnight.

Alamo's Economy class can provide easy to drive, economical to run cars like the 3-door Nissan Micra 1.2 and the 3-door VW Polo 1.4; both have seating for 5 passengers and space for 2 pieces of luggage.

SUV's are ideal for winter driving, when Finland's icy roads can be quite a challenge. It is possible to hire ski racks for a trip to the ski resorts in Lapland, Finland’s northern-most region and naturally, snow chains and winter tyres are all part of the service.

The VW Touran 1.9 and the 5-door VW Tiguan 2.0 can provide seating for up to 5 people and space for 3 large suitcases.

The towns of Tampere and Lahti both lie within a fairly easy driving distance of Helsinki and are worth a visit - the commuter train from Tikkurila Train Station leaves for both destinations but there's nothing quite like a trip in an Alamo convertible on a splendid summer's day!

In autumn and winter there are other Helsinki delights - shopping for festive presents for one! Aleksanterinkatu is Helsinki's main shopping district, where visitors will find pretty much everything they could possibly want. For all other occasions, there is Father Christmas, who comes to visit the Helsinki Christmas Market at regular intervals.

After exploring some of Finland's finest shopping malls and filling up the boot of the rental car with presents, why not head for one of the many seafood restaurants for a dish of salmon or Baltic Sea codfish or crab delights? At night, there is a vibrant nightlife with bars, live music venues, cinemas and theaters, clubs and late night entertainments.
