If you're primarily staying within the city and doing urban driving, a small to medium-sized car would likely be sufficient. These vehicles are typically easier to manoeuvre through city traffic, more fuel-efficient, and easier to park in tighter city spaces. On the other hand, if you're planning to explore the rural areas surrounding Lahti, or plan to visit during the winter months, a larger vehicle or even a 4x4 might be more suitable.

The speed limits in and around Lahti are clearly marked and vary based on the type of road and the time of year. In urban areas, the speed limit is typically 50 km/h (30 mph). When you venture outside urban areas, speed limits generally increase to 80 km/h (50 mph) or even up to 100 km/h (62 mph) on larger roads and motorways. However, these limits can drop to 80 km/h or lower on many roads during the winter months (typically from November to March), due to the potentially hazardous driving conditions. Be aware that speeding fines in Finland are based on income, and can be extremely high, so it's important to adhere to these limits.

When it comes to parking your Lahti car hire, there are a lot of options. One of the better ones is Kauppatori Car Park, which is an excellent choice due to its proximity to the city centre and the low cost of parking. It costs around €1 per hour (£0.85) during the day, and a reduced rate of €0.5 per hour (£0.30) in the evenings and on weekends. Alternatively, you could park at Lahti Travel Centre, with both short-term and long-term options. Prices range from €0.6 per hour (£0.33) to €6 (£5.20) for a 24-hour period. Finally, you may opt for parking on the street, which usually costs around €1-2 per hour (£0.85 - £1.65).
