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.
Most visitors can use their regular licence. You may need an International Driving Permit (IDP) if your licence isn’t in English. Rental companies also require matching ID at pick-up.
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.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
There are no toll roads in Copenhagen.
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
Parking is limited in the centre, so car parks are easiest.
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
Drivers are careful, especially around cyclists.
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.

How to book the best car rental deals in Copenhagen

We’re frequently named as the most trusted travel search site out there. We scan hundreds of trusted travel providers and put it all in one place, allowing you to instantly compare car hire rates and then book with no fees. Here's how to get the most out of your Copenhagen car rental search.

Book now, cancel later

We clearly highlight car and van hire options in Copenhagen that have free cancellation. So you can bag the best deal with total flexibility to change your plans if you need to.

Rent a car in Copenhagen for a whole month

Want to hire a car for almost a month? Often, car rental companies in Copenhagen avoid costly admin in between pick-ups by hiring out cars for longer periods. So see if monthly car hire is cheaper than the three weeks you need it for by selecting 30 days.

We call out keyless pick-up when you search for cars with us. No keys to pick up, means no queues. Just turn up at your preferred Copenhagen car hire location, hop in and hit the road.
