Average Car Rental Prices in Copenhagen

In the picturesque city of Copenhagen, car rentals are a popular option for visitors desiring the freedom to explore the charming capital and its surroundings at their own pace. The average cost of renting a car in Copenhagen varies based on the season, type of vehicle, and rental duration. Typically, travelers can expect to pay anywhere from DKK 350 to DKK 750 per day for a standard vehicle.

Finding an economical option might lead you to compact cars, which are not only budget-friendly but also ideal for navigating the city's busy streets. For more space and comfort, especially if you're travelling with family or in a group, SUVs or minivans are also available but at a higher price point. Additionally, booking in advance, especially during peak tourist season, can often secure better rates and ensure availability. Keep an eye out for hidden fees and insurance costs that can add up. Lastly, consider checking car rental prices outside the airport area, as local rental offices may offer competitive rates.

If you plan to drive from Copenhagen to explore multiple countries, it's essential to check the Border Crossing information in advance. This will inform you about which neighboring country borders your rental car can legally cross from Denmark.

FAQ

1. Do I need an international driving permit to rent a car in Copenhagen?

If your driving licence is issued in the EU/EEA, it is accepted throughout Denmark without an international permit. For licences in non-Latin scripts (e.g. Arabic, Chinese, Japanese), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required alongside your original licence. It's always a good idea to carry an IDP as a backup.

2. When is the cheapest time to rent a car in Copenhagen?

Car rental prices in Copenhagen are generally lowest during the off-season (November–March for European destinations). Booking 4–8 weeks in advance can also secure significantly lower rates. Avoid major holidays and local events when demand peaks. Comparing prices on Cars Scanner helps find the best deals year-round.

3. Do I need to return the car with a full tank of fuel?

This depends on the fuel policy you selected:

  • Full-to-full — the most common and economical option. You receive the car with a full tank and must return it full.
  • Full-to-empty — you pay for a full tank upfront and can return it empty, but this is usually more expensive.

Always check your rental agreement. Returning a “full-to-full“ car without refuelling results in a costly per-litre surcharge.

4. What is an excess (deductible) and how does it work?

The excess (or deductible) is the maximum amount you'd pay out of pocket if the car is damaged or stolen. In Denmark, this typically ranges from €500 to €2,000 depending on the vehicle class. You can reduce or eliminate the excess by purchasing additional coverage such as Super CDW or booking full-coverage insurance through Cars Scanner.

5. What should I do if I get a traffic fine?

If you receive a traffic fine while driving in Denmark, the rental company will typically forward it to you along with an administration fee (€20–50). Pay the fine promptly to avoid escalation. If you disagree, you can appeal through the issuing authority. Always photograph any unclear signage as evidence. Keep your rental agreement handy for reference.

6. Is there a mileage limit on rental cars?

Many rentals in Copenhagen come with unlimited mileage, especially for weekly bookings. However, some economy deals may include a daily cap (e.g. 200–300 km/day) with extra charges per kilometre beyond the limit. Always check the mileage policy in your booking confirmation — unlimited mileage offers the best value for longer trips.

7. What are the key driving rules in Copenhagen?

Key rules when driving in Denmark:

  • Drive on the right side of the road
  • Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers
  • Mobile phones may only be used hands-free
  • Headlights must be on at all times in some areas
  • Blood alcohol limit is typically 0.05% (stricter for new drivers)

Familiarise yourself with local signage and speed limits before setting off.
