For your car rental in Aarhus, what type of car you choose really depends on what sort of trip you are planning. If you are coming to the city for a business trip, then you need a compact or intermediate car to get around the streets easily. If you want to take your car on a journey around the lake district, you might find the option of an SUV a bit more attractive; you will have more luggage space, safer technologies, air-conditioned comfort, large interior space and comfortable seats for longer distance travel. If you want to take the less-beaten track, make sure you get an SUV with high clearance.

Get to know the speed limits or be prepared to pay a fine. Speed limits in Aarhus are 50 kph in the city, 80 kph outside the city and 110-130 kph on the motorway. These are general, so watch out for road signs indicating the limit. The signs do not display the speed but rather have lines dictating whether it is a city road or a motorway, so this can be confusing. Try familiarising yourself with the signs beforehand, to avoid any traffic offences.

Parking in Aarhus city centre can be difficult and very pricey. There are options for free street parking, but it is going to be difficult to find these easily. Rather, park your car in a car park for the day if you plan to explore the city centre. There are paid meters in town, but they are known to be quite pricey. Some of the car parks in Aarhus can be found at Navitas at the Harbour, Bruuns Gallery, ARoS Aarhus Museum, Dokk1 Aarhus City and Salling Department Store. Do some research beforehand and make your way to the car parks to enjoy the day with your car safe and secure.
