Please note when ordering what insurance is available. When ordering in the EU, the customer expect a basic insurance is in place. That was not the case here and I only found out when picking up the car!

Copenhagen is easy to drive in.
Verified travelerJun 2023
Driving in Copenhagen is unlike driving in North America in that people are very courteous and polite on the road. Pedestrians and cyclists always have the right of way, and drivers don't get angry about it. When passing on the highway you do it quickly and come back into the right hand lane, you don't just drive in the fast lane for a long time. It was a real treat to drive in such a beautiful country, and the roads are so well maintained!
Verified travelerJul 2023
Check toll booths payment before your trip, some of them can be previously paid at the rental car company so you can save some time. Check how you will return the car, because they close the stores pretty early.
JoeJul 2023
Good to rent a car if you'll be traveling outside Copenhagen. If you're staying in the city and nearby sites, better to rent bicycles or use public transportation.
Verified travelerJul 2023
It was not difficult to drive in Copenhagen, and the roads in Denmark are excellent.
Verified travelerJul 2023
As you're making your plans, it's essential to carefully review the cancellation policy. In addition, think about investing in travel insurance; this could provide coverage and peace of mind in case you encounter any unexpected hiccups along your journey.
JeffreyJul 2023
Be sure and set clock when parking to avoid citations. Obey posted speed limits as they use roadside cameras to monitor speed

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Copenhagen

  • Copenhagen has a plethora of sights to offer, from the port, the aquarium, and the Museum of Zoology to the iconic Little Mermaid positioned on a rock. Having your own hire car during your stay in Copenhagen will not only provide ultimate flexibility and your own timeframe to explore the city, but also allow you to venture out into the scenic Danish landscape and find out why it is here where the happiest people on Earth live.
  • Start your journey to Copenhagen hassle-free and pick up a hire car conveniently upon landing at Copenhagen Airport. There is a car hire center located on-site and signs will indicate the way from the respective terminal. Companies like Avis, Europcar, or Sixt provide their vehicles for a smooth 20-minute ride into the city center. Upon driving out of the airport, look for the E20, which will bring you to the heart of Copenhagen.
  • Denmark and Copenhagen are very flat, so there is no uphill challenge when it comes to driving through the city. Public transport is also very well-structured within the city boundaries, so, when exploring Copenhagen, the hire car can also be left at the hotel or at a P+R to avoid driving through the city. When venturing out of the city into the countryside, the roads are broad and in good conditions, providing for a smooth driving experience.
  • Copenhagen can get lots of snow during the winter months, and it only has about 7 hours of daylight. Having on the headlights is a must, so that other drivers can see you, and adapting the speed to road and weather conditions is pivotal as snow and ice can cover the streets. Watch out especially in the morning hours, as plows may not have reached all corners of the city yet.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Copenhagen for €37 or less
  • Small hire cars in Copenhagen are around 44% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Copenhagen

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Copenhagen?

    For travelers who mainly want to cruise through the city, an economic compact car is the best choice. Business travelers may also want to opt for a compact sports car to add some style to their driving experience. When leaving the city and exploring the Danish countryside, an SUV is the car of choice, as it provides the much-needed road traction. Bear in mind that manual gear shift cars are most common in Denmark and opting for an automatic car may cost extra.

  • What’s the speed limit in Copenhagen?

    All speed limits are given in kilometers per hour, as is usual in Europe. Inside the city, 50 km/h (31 mph) is allowed, unless indicated otherwise or when weather conditions don’t allow drivers to go as fast. 80 km/h (50 mph) can be driven on rural country roads and freeways allow up to 130 km/h (81 mph).

  • Where are the best places to park in Copenhagen?

    Copenhagen is divided into four parking zones: red, green, blue, and yellow. The closer you get to the city center, the more expensive parking becomes. On-street parking is generally pretty expensive in Copenhagen, so opting for accommodation with an included parking spot or choosing a parking garage are good alternatives. Public parking lots and garages include Jeudan Parking Dronningens Tværgade or Q-Park Adelgade.

  • How much does it cost to hire a car in Copenhagen?

    On average a car hire in Copenhagen costs €48 per day.

  • Which car hire agencies are at Kastrup Copenhagen airport (CPH)?

    Car hire companies onsite at Kastrup Copenhagen airport include Thrifty and keddy by Europcar.

I never took the car because the instructions were not clear about having to have one debit card and one credit card. I don’t own a credit card. So I wasted my time travelling by train from Køge and never picked up the car. I paid for the car and I’m very disappointed that all of this happened . No car and no money back 😞

Was given a diesel car which we don’t want. It was filthy and we had to ask them to wash it before leaving. The price was more than what Experian quoted. It took nearly an hour to find where to return the rental car in Hamburg. They never answered their phones. Will not do business with this firm in the future.

Value 5/5 Staff 5/5 Vehicle 1/5 The EV we rented was terrible. I see why it was so cheap to rent. The battery range was so inaccurate and terribly low. Maybe good for strictly city driving but we couldn’t even take a 2 hour road trip without having to make sure there was a charging station around because the battery was so bad. Really wouldn’t recommend the DS 3 Etense without a disclaimer.

Pro: The price was low and the people were great. Con: they need a much clearer set of directions to find the car pickup location in the nearby parking garage. I used the wrong door, and lost nearly an hour trying find my car. It drove even the employees crazy, since it wasnt where it should have been parked. This is temporary.

The Copenhagen team was very helpful and responsive when I called about changing my drop off. Meanwhile, no one picked up the phone in the Oslo office and I tried them multiple times. It was disappointing to learn my total price would have quadrupled if I changed my drop off location. Ultimately we returned the car to the airport drop off and that went smoothly.

We bought full insurance coverage on the car. When we returned it, they found a small scratch on the bumper. We have received multiple emails from them to fill out an insurance form, threatening to cancel our coverage if we didn't return it. So we returned it. But they have sent it again. Unpleasant. Otherwise the rental was ok.

We did not pick up the car. There was a problem with the license because it was in greek and not international. Fair enough but we have sent the license (full copy) to Hertz two weeks before the rental and they reported no problem. At the rental deskWe requested then for the second driver who holds an international license to be the main driver. The reply was no because the car was rent through booking.com and not directly through Hertz. They offered the alternative to rent the car directly through Hertz at a cost of 920 euro (triple the cost of the boking.com / kayak rental). We refused. We had a penalty from booking.com for not hiring the car. In simple words Our holiday was totally ruined. Never again

I preordered a 5 series BMW and received a 3 series instead with the service person nonchalantly telling me that they are in the same category. If that is really the case, that is laughable! Also, when acalculating eveything together my 280$ order summary miraculously turned into an almost 1,000$ bill after he misquoted me on the insurance and wanted to cheekily add an extra day because I arrived 30 minutes early for pick up. Car was also not in a clean condition as I would expect it.

Little information provided by staff on electric vehicle charging stations, and only after asking. Turns out these stations are relatively few in the countryside, owned by different companies with different instructions for charging and payment. With these instructions often not available in English. Some stations are super slow, haver relatively few machines or are inoperable, as noted by their google ratings once sought. Will never rent an electric vehicle by Avis/Budget, especially in a foreign country.
