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.
- Book your rental car in Copenhagen at least 6 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Off-airport rental car locations in Copenhagen are around 3% more expensive than airport locations on average
- Compact rental cars in Copenhagen are around 49% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting 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.

Aug 2018
Pros:
The staff was extremely helpful, and very friendly. It seems like they did everything they could to help us get into an available car that they had.Cons:
I had rented a large seven person van through the kayak website, unfortunately they did not have a large seven passenger van. We had to cram every piece of luggage that we had into a five person station wagon. It was a bit tight. I don’t know if I blame kayak, or the Hertz rental place.8.0 Very Good
Sep 2017
Cons:
Never received my e-mail receipt for the rental as promised. They couldn't issue one at the counter when the car was returned. I did have them go to the car, review check it out for any issues which they did and and got a clean bill on the returned car. I had them sign the agreement stating so....but still no e-mail of final bill.10.0 Wonderful
Aug 2017
Pros:
I booked my rental for the correct day, wrong month. Pre-paid through Kayak. They laughed with us and said not to worry about it - they had a car and it was fine. Didn't charge us a thing, gave us great driving advice (red always means stop, for example) and gave us a discounted way to cross bridges. And the car was new, clean, and fun to drive.Cons:
What's not to like? Best car rental experience of my life!9.2 Wonderful

Pros:
Pick up was easy, given good advice on tolls, nice car.Cons:
The Audi A4 nav system was a bit too complex and the engine shut off feature is annoying in traffic. The one problem was we were not provided proper paperwork such as insurance, so it was fortunate that the car did not impounded as Belgium is very strict on this.4.0 Mediocre

Rep who checked in was horrible. 8 times I told him that I had Ins coverage with my credit card benefits. Each time he refused and charged me anyway. At one time he said the res wasn’t theirs, other time he said I could leave. Unbelievably poor service and misleading info. Please report this guy to execs... he needs to go or be retrained.
