Ich weiß nichts über Autos, aber ich bin der Planer der Gruppe, also liegt es an mir, alles zu buchen. Kann mir jemand sagen, ob diese Autos gut genug sind, um durch Lappland zu fahren (hauptsächlich zwischen Oulu und Rovaniemi)? Unser Freund ist vor Jahren nach Finnland zurückgekehrt und kann bei winterlichen Bedingungen fahren (fragen Sie mich nicht, warum er es nicht selbst bucht).
Ist Finn-Rent außerdem zuverlässig?

Yes they are suitable for finnish winter. Those cars will have winter tyres on.
No idea about the company.
As a native Finn I have never even heard of that company. Personally I prefer known brands like Europcar and Hertz but most likely that company is fine too.
As others have said its more down to the tires, Finnish roads are normaly well looked after in winter, maybe do not rent from Finn-Rent though i know some people who have had bad experinces, jacking up the prices and trying to charge for pre-existing damage and so forth
Reviews of this company are not good. I’d stay away tbh.
Yes, these cars would be fine in Lapland during winters.

seems like a hard no, choose some bigger brand instead. Car is fine
Local people drive mostly 1kEur shitboxes, you should be fine with these. See if they have studded winter tires or studless, studded are better for not experienced winter drivers IMO.
Europcar or Hertz
What do you mean by “good enough”?
Do you have like some specific requirements in mind?
If you drive to some unmaintained forest road, that’s the only place where you might have problems. But if there are people living in some house next to forest road, those roads are also cleared from snow. Forest roads without any housing/cottages are also often cleared for purpose of logging trucks. People in Lapland drive all the same cars as in rest of Europe, cars are expensive here.
Never heard of the company.
I’ve used Finn-Rent once before, was perfectly boring and ordinary rental experience overall. Although if I had to guess, the guy who delivered the car (to train station) probably only spoke Finnish, also all papers were in Finnish iirc.
Edit: you can get around Lapland in winter with any rustbucket with a pair of winter tires if you stick to main roads and don’t drive recklessly
It is not about the car but the tires. The car needs to have winter tires. The roads in Lapland are not even that slippery because of the cold conditions. When it is -10 C or more, the ice is dry.
The most challenging part of driving around in Lapland in December is not the roads that are taken good care of but darkness. There is barely any daylight, and the further north you go, the darker it will be.
For sure. My car has literal holes in it lol

I’ve never heard of that site. Doesn’t seem too reliable
Polo sized car can be annoying if roads arent flat
