About Renting a Car at Lappeenranta Airport

Lappeenranta Airport is located just outside the city and is an excellent starting point for exploring Finnish Karelia by car. From the airport, it takes just a few minutes to drive into Lappeenranta's city center, where Saimaa, one of Finland's largest lakes, stretches out with its dramatic shores and channels. Heading east along national highway 6, you'll reach the Russian border at Nuijamaa in less than ten minutes, while Imatra with its rapids and industrial history is approximately 40 kilometers away.

Heading north along national highway 13, a magnificent forest landscape unfolds with numerous lakes and summer cottage villages. The best time to visit is summer, when the long light evenings make driving along the shores of the lakes an unforgettable experience.

We compare prices from all major providers at Lappeenranta Airport so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
