A departure from Helsinki or Rovaniemi, on the edge of the Arctic Circle
Finland has two Anywhere Campers delivery points, with no depot or counter: Helsinki, on the Gulf of Finland, and Rovaniemi, capital of Finnish Lapland, just below the Arctic Circle. About 830 km of road separate them, through the Lakeland region and the forests of the centre of the country. The vehicle comes from the rental company's Czech base, and the handover takes place at the time agreed with the company.
From Helsinki, our October 2026 records give a first offer of around €390 a day for a fortnight starting between January and October 2027; in Rovaniemi, it climbs to about €504. The share linked to transporting the vehicle from Prague, included in these amounts, approaches €3,900 for Helsinki and €5,600 for Rovaniemi over the fifteen days. The 72 Finnish offers examined all come with unlimited mileage and a €1,500 excess.
Our view: the formula is mainly worthwhile for starting your trip directly in Lapland, or for touring at length in an automatic motorhome. For a shorter stay from Helsinki, also take a look at the offers from Touring Cars and McRent, which have depots in Finland.

Daily prices recorded at Anywhere Campers on October 21, 2026 for a 15-day rental from its branches in Finland: CoolDrive selling price, mandatory fees included. 100% of offers with unlimited mileage. Median excess: €1,500.
Anywhere Campers has no physical branch in these cities: the company delivers the vehicle there, at a time and place agreed with you after booking. They are available as pick-up locations in the search form, which shows availability and the price, delivery included.
In Lapland, reindeer roam freely and cross the road at any time, often in groups: as soon as an animal appears on the verge, slow down, as others often follow. Further south, elk warning signs should be taken seriously, especially at dawn and dusk.
Some of the dates tested fall in the depths of winter. Finland requires winter tyres during the cold season, and Lapland stays snow-covered for several months. Have the rental company confirm the vehicle's equipment, and plan short stages: in December and January, Rovaniemi sees daylight for only a few hours.
Finland's right of public access to nature, jokamiehenoikeus, allows walking and wild camping in a tent, but does not allow driving or parking off roads and car parks. For the night, lakeside campsites and areas set aside for motorhomes are the simple solution.
In one of the two cities served, Helsinki or Rovaniemi. The rental company has no premises there: the exact handover location is chosen with the company once the booking has been made, and our experts help you organise it.
The vehicle comes from the Czech Republic and has to travel several hundred kilometres further to reach Lapland. Over 15 days, transport accounts for about €5,600 in Rovaniemi compared with €3,900 in Helsinki, hence a first offer recorded at around €504 a day in the north and €390 in the capital.
A one-way hire between the two cities would save you driving 830 km back the other way. The rental company offers this depending on the offer, with a surcharge linked to the journey. Enter Rovaniemi as the drop-off city when you search: you will see straight away whether the option exists for your dates.
Van rental 4 seats Helsinki. Van with very fragile low-end fittings (blinds, uncomfortable bed). Purchase of gas in addition (not mentioned). The camper was with IndieCampers and it was not possible to choose the pick-up/drop-off times.
a difference between the pick-up and return times! A problem with my credit card, which was only a debit card and therefore I couldn't pay the deposit. I was not aware of this restriction. I was able to pay the rental of €1500 but not the deposit of €500! Scheduled departure at 2:30 PM, actual departure at 6:30 PM! It was impossible for the other people present to pay the deposit with an appropriate card, as they were not listed on the rental agreement!
Difficult to get information before booking by phone or email, almost impossible. However, good responsiveness by email once the booking is made. Lack of fluidity on the site with issues downloading the various documents requested on the site but quickly resolved by Cool Drive.
Choose Helsinki or Rovaniemi and your dates: the rental company's offers are shown with transport included, alongside those of rental companies with a depot in Finland. Once the booking is made, a CoolDrive expert handles the handover arrangements with you and the rental company.
Neighbouring countries are generally permitted, according to the list given in the offer. From Lapland, Sweden can be reached by road at Tornio and Norway via several crossings in the north; Estonia is reached by ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn. Check that each country on your itinerary is indeed permitted.
The Finnish offers show an excess of €1,500, the same in Helsinki and Rovaniemi. It is usually secured by a credit card pre-authorisation at handover; ask us about the reduction options offered by the rental company.
