Practical guide

When does renting a car in Tallinn make sense?

In central Tallinn, many visitors can walk, use Bolt, take public transport or stay close to the Old Town. A car becomes much more useful when you arrive with luggage, stay outside the centre, travel with family, visit several places in one day or want to explore beyond Tallinn.

Caround helps you rent cars from verified local owners instead of choosing only from a standard rental fleet. You pick a suitable car, send a booking request, the owner confirms it, and payment is handled securely through the app.

This is especially useful for Tallinn Airport arrivals, ferry passengers arriving from Helsinki, business visitors, family stays and day trips to Lahemaa, Keila-Joa, Haapsalu, Pärnu or Estonia’s northern coast.
