About Renting a Car at Tampere Airport
Tampere Airport (TMP) is one of Finland's busiest regional airports with a total of 11 rental companies on-site. The airport is located 16 km southwest of Tampere city center, approximately a 20-minute drive via Route 3. With a car from here, you can quickly reach the entire Pirkanmaa region.
The airport is located in Pirkkala municipality and surrounded by industrial areas and rural nature. The city of Nokia, known as Nokia's original home, is just 8 km to the north. To the south, you can reach Lempäälä and Ideapark, one of Finland's largest shopping centers, in 15 minutes.
Rental desks are located in the arrivals hall - follow the signs directly after baggage claim. Book in advance during the summer season (June - August) when availability decreases significantly. Refuel at the Shell station in Pirkkala, 3 km from the airport, before returning the car - cheaper than at the airport.
