Thrifty is the cheapest company at Tallinn Airport for an Intermediate car, averaging £32 a day over the last 12 months from 599 prices, but its desk requires a credit card. Budget averages £34 a day and Europcar £35 a day from 1,093 prices. All 13 counters sit directly at the airport, so you avoid shuttle transfers entirely. Green Motion holds a £171 deposit, whereas Budget holds £1,712 on a credit card.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

No supplier at Tallinn Airport currently has the 30 recent customer reviews required for an official review score, but Thrifty combines a low £32 daily price with a 7-minute desk wait.

Green Motion averages £58 a day with an 8-minute wait, while Nu Car Rentals averages £48 a day with a 20-minute wait.

At Tallinn Airport, 12 of the 13 companies require a credit card for the deposit, which ranges from £171 with Green Motion to £1,712 with Budget. Only Sixt accepts a debit card, and then only for certain cars. Every company has its counter at the airport terminal rather than off-site. Filter for a debit card on the results page before comparing prices so you only see vehicles you can collect, and check the listed costs for optional extras like child seats.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

The biggest catch at Tallinn Airport is the card barrier: 12 of the 13 desks reject debit cards outright, and Sixt's queue averages 30 minutes at pickup. You will not need to hunt for an off-airport shuttle, as every desk operates directly inside the terminal. Deposits also vary wildly, climbing as high as £1,712 with Budget while Green Motion holds just £171. If you plan to leave your card at home, Sixt is the only desk offering debit card collection, and only on selected cars.
