About Renting a Car at Riga Farjeterminal

Rent a car directly at Riga's ferry terminal and continue your journey seamlessly after arriving by ferry from Stockholm or Tallinn. With 4 rental companies on site at Eksporta iela 1, you can drive off directly without needing to travel into the center. The terminal is just 2 km northwest of Riga's Old Town.

From the ferry terminal you can quickly reach E67 south toward Vilnius (290 km, approx. 3.5 hours) or the motorway north toward Tallinn via E77. The Old Town is reached in 5–8 minutes by car via Eksporta iela and Kalku iela.

Book the rental car well in advance if you travel with Tallink or DFDS during the summer season – availability decreases significantly July–August. Have your passport ready when picking up the car, as the terminal requires ID verification. Parking at the terminal is free for up to 30 minutes for pickup.

Can I pick up the car directly when the ferry docks? Yes, the rental company offices at the terminal are open in connection with ferry arrivals, but confirm opening hours with your specific rental company. How far is it from the ferry terminal to Riga Airport?

It is approximately 15 km and takes about 25–35 minutes via Kurzemes prospekts. Are there parking options at the terminal if the ferry is delayed? Yes, there is paid parking directly at the terminal, and rental companies are accustomed to delays and usually adapt accordingly.

We compare prices from all major providers at Riga Farjeterminal 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.
