Denmark is a Scandinavian country located in Northern Europe, known for its rich history, modern design, and high quality of life. It consists of the Jutland Peninsula and an archipelago of over 400 islands, with Zealand and Funen being the largest. The capital city, Copenhagen, is situated on Zealand and is renowned for its vibrant cultural scene, historic landmarks, and innovative architecture.
Denmark has a deep historical heritage dating back to the Viking Age, and the country's landscape is characterized by rolling plains, sandy coastlines, and picturesque countryside. The island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea is known for its unique rock formations and beautiful beaches.
In Denmark, driving is on the right-hand side. A valid driving license from your home country is required, and depending on your country of origin, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP).
The speed limits in Denmark are generally 50 km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h on secondary roads, and 110-130 km/h on highways, subject to change based on road conditions and signage.
Fuel stations are readily available in cities and along major highways, but it's wise to monitor your fuel level when traveling to more remote areas of the country.
It's also important to be aware that Danish roads can be narrow and winding, especially in rural regions. During the winter season, road conditions can deteriorate, and visibility can decrease due to snow and ice, so extra caution is advised. Additionally, watch out for pedestrians, cyclists, and animals on the road, as they are common sights, especially outside urban areas.
For a more enjoyable and safe driving experience, familiarize yourself with local traffic laws, and consider renting a vehicle equipped for winter conditions if you plan to explore rural or remote areas during colder months, as they offer better handling on rough terrains. Remember, patience and careful planning can greatly enhance your driving experience in Denmark.
If you need help while in Denmark, don't hesitate to contact our office. In an emergency, the national emergency number is 112.

Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive in Denmark?
No, if you hold a valid driving license from an EU/EEA country or many other countries, you do not need an IDP. However, travelers from non-EU countries should check specific requirements before traveling.
Are there toll roads in Denmark? How do I pay?
Denmark has tolls for certain major bridges, like the Øresund Bridge (to Sweden) and the Great Belt Bridge (Storebæltsbroen). Payments can be made via credit card or cash at toll booths. Some rental cars come with pre-installed electronic toll tags for convenience.
Is it difficult to drive in Denmark?
Driving in Denmark is generally straightforward. Roads are well-maintained, signage is clear, and traffic rules are strictly followed. However, in cities like Copenhagen, you’ll encounter heavy bicycle traffic, and drivers should be cautious around cyclists.
Can I park for free in Denmark?
Free parking is available in many suburban and rural areas. In city centers, parking is typically paid and regulated by zones. Pay attention to parking signs and use designated parking lots or meters.
Are winter tires required in Denmark?
Winter tires are not legally required in Denmark, but they are highly recommended between November and March, especially if driving in icy or snowy conditions.
Does Denmark have Low Emission Zones?
Denmark has Low Emission Zones (LEZ) in cities like Copenhagen and Aarhus. Ensure your rental car complies with these regulations to avoid fines.
What are the Low Emission Zones?
Low Emission Zones (LEZ) are designated areas in cities or regions where access is restricted for vehicles that do not meet specific environmental standards. These zones aim to reduce air pollution and improve overall air quality by limiting emissions from older, more polluting vehicles. In Denmark, Low Emission Zones are present in larger cities, including Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, and Aalborg. They primarily target older diesel vehicles, so with our rental car you don't have to worry about that!
What should I do if I encounter an emergency while driving in Denmark?
In case of an emergency, dial 112 for police, fire, or ambulance services. If your car breaks down, use the emergency warning triangle (mandatory equipment) and call us for assistance.
