KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Tallinn
- The capital city of Estonia, Tallinn is a cultural and technological hub in the Baltic region. It has excellent local transportation links, but none of them offer you the pure freedom and flexibility of car hire in Tallinn. With your own vehicle you can access many villages and towns off the beaten track, like Liiva on Muhu Island, 93 miles south-west via Rt 9/10, or Narva, 130 miles east via E20.
- Lennart Meri Tallinn International Airport (TLL) is about 2 miles from the city centre. Not only is this the most practical air transit hub in terms of proximity, it also presents the opportunity for you to get your car hire in Tallinn and drive to your accommodation. There are several providers at the airport such as Avis, Sixt and NU Car, which can all furnish you with a vehicle upon request. The car hire centre is located inside the Ground Transportation terminal near the long-stay car park.
- There are three national roads (T2, T4 and T8) travelling through the city centre and you can expect all three to experience traffic congestion during the morning and evening rush hours. Since the Old Town is pretty much closed to vehicular traffic, anticipate heavy pedestrian and cycle traffic in this area (around Toompea Castle and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral). As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old Town is a massive tourist draw, so the peak summer months from May to August will witness dramatic increases in overall traffic patterns across the city.
- You can expect major traffic congestion from 07:00 to 09:00 and again from 18:00 to 21:00 in key downtown areas. For example, the circular formed by Routes 2 and 8 near Taamsaare Park (east), the Route 4/8 interchange at the site of the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra (south), and the T8 cross-change near the Kaitsepolitseiamet are all major junctions connecting trunk roads to points beyond the city limits. You should also expect a busy period between 13:00 and 15:00 when sightseeing and shopping downtown are at their peak.
- Book your rental car in Tallinn at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Tallinn are around 18% more expensive than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting a car in Tallinn
What type of car is recommended for driving in Tallinn?
If budget is not a consideration and your travel party is small, any type of Tallinn car hire is a good choice. Bear in mind that small economy cars and compacts handle better on narrow streets, while SUVs and luxury cars provide a more comfortable ride on the open road.
What’s the speed limit in Tallinn?
The legal speed limit within urban districts in Tallinn is about 50km/h (30mph) and driving through rural areas the limit is 90km/h (55mph). During the summer when primary roads and highways are free of ice, motorists can drive at speeds between 110 and 120km/h (65mph to 75mph). During the frigid winter months it is imperative to observe posted signs for your own safety and that of your fellow drivers. It is likely that electronic monitoring equipment will be in use, which is further reason to drive with caution when on the road.

These are mostly pay-and-display zones where the first 15min is always free (unless you’re in a private car park). Parking is free anywhere else in the city unless otherwise restricted. The hours of operation vary by location but are generally from 07:00 to 19:00, Monday to Friday, with some car parks open 24h a day.
