We are delighted to be able to offer both 4x4 or All Wheel Drive (AWD) cars to hire at Tampere Airport in Finland.
You may already have decided to rent a 4x4 for your visit to Finland but, if not, here are a few reasons why you might opt to hire a car with all wheel drive. 4x4s and AWDs have become an increasingly popular choice as rental vehicles over the past few years partly because they tend to be more reliable, partly because they are more versatile and partly because they are just great fun to drive.
But let’s consider a bit further what 4x4s so attractive as rental cars at Tampere Airport.
4x4s from Tampere Airport Offer Better Traction
A ‘4x4’ or to, give it its full name, a four-wheel drive means that each wheel gets the same power delivered to – practically this means that if your front wheels get stuck in mud or sand your rear wheels will still be delivering power to drive you through the problem. A front wheel drive may just have you sat there with wheels spinning unable to move. A 4x4 is perfect for the mountain regions of Finland.
This means AWD cars feel more stable in wet or slippery situations. In turn that gives the driver more confidence when on the unfamiliar roads around Tampere Airport, and delivers peace of mind as they will know that they have total control of the car in rain as well as sun.
See more of the country around Tampere Airport from your Elevated Driving Position
Many (although not all) 4x4s provide a slightly higher driving position allowing the driver a clearer view of the road and passengers a better view from the car – and seeing the local area is after all a great reason for hiring a 4x4 from Tampere Airport.
More room especially for luggage from a hired 4x4 from Tampere Airport
Four-wheel drive vehicles tend to be larger than a normal saloon car. This means the driver and the passengers get extra legroom, headroom and the boot is often bigger. So 4x4s are a perfect option as a rental car to deliver you from Tampere Airport to your holiday accommodation as well as for exploring the local area.
Off-Road Capability – but be careful!
A 4x4 may be designed for off-road use but may people will feel totally comfortable driving out of Tampere Airport and sticking to main roads during their visit. This is a really important point, as, most rental companies at Tampere Airport prohibit the use of their cars, 4x4s or not, ‘off-road’. If you are intending to use the car off road we would suggest the use of a car rental firm who specialises in off road 4x4s instead of renting one from a main stream hire company.
