Car rental at Kuopio : Discover all our stations

Located in the land of lakes in Finland, between two immense lakes, the city of Kuopio truly deserves a better spot on tourist circuits. But if you decide to go there, you won't be disappointed - the magnificent lake landscapes, lush forests, and local gastronomy will make for a pleasant discovery!

Enjoy a flexible and convenient car rental in Kuopio at our agency ideally located at the station, right in the heart of the city. Easily accessible by car or train, you'll be behind the wheel of your car in no time!

Our wide range of vehicles allows us to meet all your needs, no matter your destination and whatever you bring along! Choose one of our small models to stay in the city and enjoy the many attractions of Kuopio and its surroundings, such as the Puijo tower and its revolving restaurant. For longer trips in the beautiful Finnish lake countryside, opt for the comfort of a more spacious vehicle, and why not an SUV.

Our short or long rental packages will meet your expectations, whether it's for a day, a week, or a month. And for absolute peace of mind, you can pick up and return your rental car at different agencies if it suits you!

When driving in Kuopio, remember that vehicles drive on the right and overtake on the left. Speed limits are 50 km/h in the city, 100-120 km/h on expressways, and between 80 and 100 km/h on other roads.

In most Finnish cities, street parking is generally paid in city centers – you will need to pay for your parking at an automatic machine that will issue you a ticket, which must be placed behind the windshield inside your car. The rate is 1.40 euros/hour. You can park in another parking lot using the same ticket if there is time left on it. Be mindful of the time as you risk a fine if the time indicated on the ticket is exceeded! You will find many gas stations in urban areas, but they become rarer in the north of the country and in rural areas. Keep this in mind when planning your trip.

If you're looking for an extraordinary entertainment, you won't be disappointed. Every year in July, Kuopio hosts the wife-carrying world championship, an event that attracts competitors and spectators from around the world! For a more conventional activity, the port is a beautiful site where it is pleasant to admire the lake while enjoying a delicious dish of locally caught fish.

Located in the heart of the lake region of Finland, Kuopio is an ideal base camp to explore the surrounding natural treasures. Take full advantage of your rental car and venture to Savonlinna, 160 km away, or Joensuu, 140 km away, to get a sense of the landscapes and admire the view along the way. Of course, you will have the opportunity to stop in a multitude of towns and villages to stroll around, or simply enjoy the delicious local cuisine!

For a change of pace and a slice of city life, head to the cosmopolitan city of Tampere, 300 km to the southwest. The Särkänniemi amusement park will delight children, but also adults with its aquarium, planetarium, playground, the famous Näsinneula observation tower, and a host of other events. The spy museum is an interactive place that tells the history of espionage through the centuries. And if your stomach is growling, head to the market hall for lunch.
