Car Rental at Tallinn Airport (TLL)

Tallinn Airport (TLL) is Estonia's largest with as many as 19 rental companies – the best selection in the country if you want to pick up a car right upon arrival. The airport is 4 km southeast of Tallinn Center and is well connected by highway. With so many rental companies on site, you'll always find a good price and the right car type.

From the airport you can reach Tallinn Old Town in 15 minutes' drive via Tartu maantee and Liivalaia. Ülemiste shopping center is located directly next to the airport, perfect for a quick stop. If you want to head straight into the countryside, it takes just 1 hour to reach the entrance to Lahemaa National Park at Viitna.

With 19 rental companies, competition is high – still book in advance during summer when all of Tallinn is fully booked. Car pickup from the rental companies takes place in a shared center just outside the terminal; follow signs to 'Rent a Car'. Choose a vehicle with good fuel economy if you plan to drive north along the Estonian coast – road distances can be long.

How do I get from Tallinn Airport to the rental car pickup location? The rental center is about a 5-minute walk from the arrival hall, well-marked with 'Car Rental'. Alternatively, some rental companies offer shuttle service.

Can I return the car at Tallinn Airport if I picked it up downtown? Yes, most rental companies allow this but factor in a one-way fee. Always confirm when booking.

How long does it take to drive from the airport to Pärnu? Pärnu, Estonia's summer city, is 130 km south via E67. The drive takes about 1.5 hours under normal conditions.
