First appointment
Give the full arrival address in Helsinki and the time your group needs to be ready there, rather than using the event start as the pickup time.
Plan the arrival, hotel and venue stages of your group visit to Helsinki. Start with the appointments or visits that have fixed times, then arrange the vehicle request around the whole day.

Movement between visits
List every venue in visit order. Tell us which stops need a waiting vehicle and which only require a later collection.
Last departure
Finish the brief with your last drop-off in Helsinki, or the next destination if the group continues elsewhere.
Use Tikkurila or Pasila deliberately when combining rail and road
Helsinki Airport’s train station is directly below the terminal, with lifts and escalators to Arrivals and Departures. Finavia identifies the I and P trains for Helsinki and names Tikkurila and Pasila as transfer points for onward rail travel. A group continuing elsewhere in Finland may not need to assemble at Helsinki Central first.
For a combined rail-and-coach itinerary, put the intended interchange and final destination in the brief. If the vehicle collects at the airport instead, allow the group to finish baggage collection before walking to its separately agreed boarding point.

Your Helsinki transport questions
Must rail passengers travel into Helsinki Central before meeting a coach?
Not necessarily. Finavia lists Tikkurila and Pasila as interchange points for airport trains and longer-distance rail travel. Use the station that fits the confirmed itinerary and agree the vehicle meeting point there.
How should I organise several timed visits in Helsinki?
Put the venues in order with a required arrival time for each one. Use full addresses in Helsinki, Uusimaa, and distinguish a waiting period from a new pickup. The schedule can then be checked as a complete itinerary.
Can our Helsinki enquiry include an onward visit to Vantaa?
Yes, you can request an onward leg to Vantaa. The map references are about 15 km apart in a straight line. This does not establish the road distance or vehicle availability. Give the onward address, the visit duration and whether you need to return.
What should I include for arrivals at Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL)?
Use the airport shown on your ticket, such as Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL), along with the flight number, date, terminal if known and number of bags. State any arrivals on different flights; collection arrangements and waiting terms need confirmation.
How do the Vantaa and Espoo stops compare from Helsinki?
From the Helsinki geographic reference, Vantaa is approximately 15.0 km away in a straight line and Espoo is 16.2 km away. A further destination reference is Lahti, approximately 98.7 km from Helsinki. The first two distances are close, so they give little basis for choosing the visit order. Use your actual addresses and appointment times. These are map measurements, not driving distances; a feasible route and vehicle allocation must be assessed in the quotation.
Plan the next part of your journey
For a Finland itinerary joining Helsinki with Turku, distinguish a city stay from a port or onward connection. Use the exact terminal or venue from the booking and include its required arrival time rather than only the city name.
