Yes, you can rent and drive a car in Finland irrespective of the fact whether you are a resident of US, Canada, UAE, UK or Australia, all you need is your valid driver’s license (DL) issued in your name. Have a word with the car rental company (or read the T&Cs) about whether you need an International driver’s permit (IDP) or not. In case your DL is not in Roman alphabet make sure that if you don’t have the IDP, at least do carry the official translation of your DL.
