Driving in Copenhagen: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You’ll need your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Copenhagen.

Navigating city driving
Copenhagen has clear signs and dedicated lanes for buses and bikes.
Driving is simple on main roads, but central areas can feel narrow due to bike lanes. GPS will help you avoid busy spots and find the bridges that link key neighbourhoods.

Denmark has environmental rules for certain vehicles, but most rental cars meet requirements. You may pay tolls only when driving to Sweden via the Øresund Bridge.
Parking your car in Copenhagen

Street spaces are few and usually cost. Multi-storey car parks and park-and-ride sites offer convenient options. Check signposts for zones and time limits.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is available across the city, and EV charging stations in Copenhagen are widespread.
Petrol stations sit along main roads, while charging points are common in residential areas. Use PlugShare to find chargers before heading into busier districts.
Local driving style and tips

Copenhagen has many bike lanes, and cyclists often have priority. Keep speeds low in central areas, take care at junctions and watch for buses pulling in and out of stops.

We also clearly highlight car and van hire options in Copenhagen that have free cancellation

If you've booked car hire with free cancellation, you can usually cancel or change your booking without paying a fee. The deadline depends on the car hire company, but it's typically around 48 hours before pick-up. If you cancel after that, you may be charged. If your booking doesn't include free cancellation, you'll need to check the car hire company's cancellation policy. Depending on when you cancel, you might have to pay a fee or you won't get a refund.
Yes. Most car hire companies in Copenhagen offer same-day car hire. If you're looking for last-minute car hire in Copenhagen, search for today's date on Skyscanner to compare what's available.
The best time to book car hire in Copenhagen is usually as early as you can. Booking ahead often means cheaper prices and more cars to choose from. You can sometimes find a good last-minute deal, but it's never guaranteed and availability is often more limited.
It depends on the car hire company. Some companies in Copenhagen will let you drive your hire car abroad, often for an extra fee, while others don't allow it. If you're planning to cross a border, check with the car hire company before you travel. Driving your hire car abroad without permission could invalidate your insurance or break the terms of your rental agreement.
It depends on the car hire company. Some accept debit cards, others require a credit card. Either way, you'll need enough money on your card to cover a security deposit which you'll get back when you return the car.

Yes – you can easily find car hire companies that allow you to pick up your car in one place, and then drop it off in another. Just select ‘Return car to a different location’ when you search with us.

Public transport can only get you so far, and could be tricky to navigate with children or luggage. With your own set of wheels, you can go wherever you want, whenever you want, for as long as you want. And you'll be able to discover more outside of Copenhagen.

Of course. Most major car hire companies like Flex To Go, Europcar and Sixt offer baby and child seats as an add-on when you book.
