Estonia is a hidden gem of Northern Europe that shines brightest during the summer months. Its pristine landscapes, well-preserved forests, and scenic coastal drives make it a perfect destination for anyone looking to escape into nature. With several national parks scattered across the country, a road trip through Estonia gives travelers the freedom to explore its beauty at their own pace. Renting a car, minivan or motorcycle from Sirrent OÜ ensures convenience, flexibility, and a reliable way to discover Estonia’s natural wonders on your own terms. Whether you’re traveling solo, with family, or in a group, we offer both short-term and long-term vehicle rental options tailored to your adventure.
Why Explore Estonia’s National Parks by Rental Car?
Estonia boasts five major national parks, each with its own unique ecosystem and attractions. Public transport, though efficient in urban areas, is limited when heading into the parks or exploring rural regions. This is where renting a vehicle becomes not just convenient, but essential for a truly immersive nature experience.
With a rental car from Sirrent OÜ, you can set your own itinerary, make unscheduled photo stops, hike less-traveled trails, and sleep under the stars if you choose. Whether you’re heading to the bog trails of Soomaa National Park, the coastal cliffs of Lahemaa, or the unique islands in Vilsandi National Park, having your own set of wheels allows you to get there comfortably and efficiently.
Our fleet includes compact cars for solo or couple travel, spacious minivans for families and groups, and motorcycles for the adventurous spirit. Even if you’re planning an extended stay, we offer long-term rental solutions, so you can explore freely without the pressure of rushing your trip. Renting from Sirrent OÜ ensures you have the right vehicle for Estonia’s diverse terrains, from highway cruising to gravel roads amid ancient forests.
Which National Parks Should Be on Your Estonian Summer Road Trip Itinerary?
Each of Estonia’s national parks offers something distinct, making them ideal stops for a well-rounded road trip. Here’s a look at the top parks to include in your journey.
Lahemaa National Park: Located less than an hour from Tallinn, Lahemaa is Estonia’s largest and oldest national park. Famous for its coastal landscapes, bogs, and historic manor houses, it’s perfect for a day or weekend trip. The roads leading to and within Lahemaa are in excellent condition—ideal for both cars and motorcycles.
Soomaa National Park: Best known for its “fifth season” flood phenomenon, Soomaa amazes visitors with vast bogs and wetlands. Raised boardwalks lead through lush greenery and mysterious swamps. It’s slightly more remote, so having a reliable rental vehicle is key to accessing these wonders.
Matsalu National Park: A dream for bird watchers, this park is one of Europe’s most important wetland bird areas. Located on the western coast, it’s best visited in spring and summer when migratory birds arrive. With unpredictable rural timetables for buses, your rented car or minivan is your best companion.
Vilsandi National Park: Situated off the coast of Saaremaa island, getting there requires a combination of ferry transport and driving. Sirrent OÜ vehicles are ferry-ready, and our team can assist you with schedules and vehicle approvals for inter-island travel.
Karula National Park: The smallest but arguably the most peaceful, Karula offers hilly landscapes, lakes, and traditional farm architecture. Driving here gives you the real countryside experience, largely untouched by tourism.
Each of these parks features camping grounds, picnic spots, and well-marked trails—perfect elements for a memorable road trip across the Estonian wilderness.
What Vehicle Should You Choose for Your Estonian Adventure?
Your choice of vehicle depends on your route, group size, and travel style. At Sirrent OÜ, we provide a curated selection of rental options suitable for every destination and budget.
Comfort Cars: Ideal for couples or solo travelers, these compact or mid-size sedans offer comfort, fuel efficiency, and safety—perfect for highway cruising to hotspots like Lahemaa or Matsalu. They are easy to drive and park, making them a popular choice for most customers.
Minivans: Families or groups will appreciate the added space and convenience of our minivan options. Multiple seat configurations, luggage space, and air conditioning make them a smart choice for longer road trips. Our minivans are especially popular for holidays that include camping gear, food supplies, or bicycles.
Motorcycles: For the free spirits, nothing beats the thrill of exploring wilderness roads on two wheels. Estonia’s well-paved countryside roads and minimal traffic make it an excellent motorcycle road trip destination. Make use of our top-rated helmets and optional accessories for a safe and exhilarating ride.
Long-Term Rentals: Planning to explore beyond Estonia or stay for several weeks? Our long-term rental packages provide better value, insurance coverage, and optional extras like GPS, child seats, and roof boxes. With 24/7 customer support and flexible return policies, you can travel worry-free.

When Is the Best Time to Road Trip Through Estonia?
Estonia’s summer months—June to August—are arguably the most comfortable and scenic time for road trips. Daylight hours are long, with some days nearing 19 hours of usable light. This extended daylight allows you to explore more and worry less about accommodation or driving in the dark.
June and July bring wildflower blooms, green forests, and mild temperatures between 20°C and 25°C. It’s also when most national parks host nature events, guided tours, and local food festivals. August continues the summer feel with slightly cooler nights and thinner tourist crowds, making it a peaceful month for a road trip.
If you’re a nature lover, late spring (May) and early autumn (September) also work well. Expect fewer bugs, vibrant foliage or spring blossoms, and more availability in accommodation around national parks.
Keep in mind that national parks can get crowded during Latvian or Finnish holiday weekends, so securing your rental vehicle early from Sirrent OÜ is strongly recommended. Booking online through our website secures not only your vehicle but also optional accessories and insurance tailored to your travel needs.
No matter the season, our fleet is regularly maintained and fully equipped for changing road conditions, ensuring a safe and smooth ride any time of year.
