Oulu Airport Car Hire with a Debit Card
Car hire with a debit card is now available from Oulu Airport! Designated the European Capital of Culture 2026, Oulu is a large coastal city in Northern Finland, and is by far the largest population centre in the north, nicknamed the “capital of Northern Finland”. The city’s name is derived from the name of the river it lies on – the Oulujoki, which is most likely of Sami origin. Although it existed first as a humble trading post for many years, the city was originally fortified by King Charles IX of Sweden in 1605 in response to peace settlements with Russia – removing the threat of attack by river.
Oulu is a perfect choice for a winter holiday destination, with a number of ski resorts in the surrounding areas for both beginners and experts, as well as biking tours and tobogganing! Some of the most famous of these include the Ukkohalla and Paljakka resorts, both just an hour’s drive out of the city. If you’re not much of an adrenaline junkie then the nearby Sanginjoku Nature Reserve might be the place for you, consisting of old spruce forests and springs and mires along the way – a favourite for overnight hiking. Oulu is also one of the best spots to reliably see the aurora borealis, or the “Northern Lights” as they’re more commonly known, with tours available all season.
Oulu Airport is the second busiest in Finland, and often sees over a million passengers each year. With car hire desks directly in terminal, collecting your car has never been easier.
