Good to know
Age requirements vary by company and even car type, so be clear on the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Estonia may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.
Kids coming with you? Car seat regulations differ from place to place, and the right setup may depend on their age, height and weight. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Tallinn car hire booking.
You'll be asked for a few things when picking up your rental car: your physical driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds for the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Your booking will flag any other must-haves.
Driving in Estonia can take some adjustment if it's your first time. Keep in mind traffic flows on the right side of the road.

The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Estonia is 0.02%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the surest choice is to avoid drinks so you remain legal to drive.
