The village is also home to the Orthodox Church of St Nicholas, which adds a cultural touch to your stay. Eno is especially enjoyable in the summer months, providing a serene escape with lovely scenery.
  • Hammaslahti: Situated in the Joensuu area, Hammaslahti is a delightful village known for its natural beauty. Visitors can explore Ruusupuisto, a vibrant flower garden perfect for family outings. For those seeking beach time, Ilosaaren uimaranta and Koivuniemen uimaranta both offer splendid opportunities to enjoy the sun and water.

10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Joensuu

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise filters on Expedia to identify the best fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy improved availability, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to navigate in congested areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and specific vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—may be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unexpected occurs during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's licence and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to hire a vehicle.
