Taxis

Taxi ranks are located directly outside the arrivals hall of the terminal. Several licensed taxi companies operate at the airport, offering both metered and fixed-price fares to Helsinki city center and the surrounding region. It is recommended to confirm the fare type with the driver before the trip begins.

Rental Cars

Car rental service desks are situated in the corridor between the arrivals and departures halls. Major international and local providers like Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, and Sixt are available. Rented cars are picked up from and returned to the P3 parking building, which is a short walk from the terminal.

Public Transportation

The airport is efficiently connected by public transport. The Ring Rail Line (trains I and P) provides a direct link to Helsinki Central Railway Station in approximately 30 minutes, with the station located directly beneath the terminal. Additionally, local bus line 600 runs to the city center, and various other local and long-distance buses depart from the bus station in front of the terminal. Tickets must be purchased before boarding from HSL ticket machines or the mobile app.

Ground transportation to Helsinki Posted by lesles on December 3, 2016

There are trains (and buses, but I have no experience with them) going from HEL to Helsinki Central Railway Station in the city centre (Helsingin päärautatieasema). The trains take 25-30 minutes and both lines (I and P) go every 10 minutes. Information on the train is also given in english. One-way adult tickets are 5.50, 24h tickets for the region (including Helsinki, Vantaa, Espoo and Kauniainien) is 12 Euro. Tickets can be bought at the baggage claim area within the airport, at the train stations themselves (airport and railway station) or from a conductor in some trains (trains are marked, if there is or is no ticket sale available on the train or in which carrier). More information esp. on prices and timetables can be found here: https://www.hsl.fi/en/timetables-and-routes/terminals/transport-links-helsinki-airport . It is worth exploring the city of helsinki, if you have a longer layover.
