You now have the opportunity to borrow a Smart car free of charge from Poukama. Instead of a rental fee, we kindly ask you to make a minimum donation of €50 to Save the Children Finland to support their important work for children and families.
This initiative is made possible thanks to Timo Lindgren, who has generously offered his personal vehicle for this cause. Reservations are managed in cooperation with Kokouspoukama Oy.
By driving this car, you’re not only getting where you need to go – you’re also helping to create a better future for children.
If you can’t find a suitable time, experience any issues while booking, or need more information, please contact jontte@kokouspoukama.fi or call +358 44 550 5170.
