How to Rent a Car in Copenhagen


By Martin Elmer

It is very simple to rent a car in Copenhagen. In both the airport and in the city centre, you will find all the major car rental agencies like: Budget, Hertz, Avis, Europcar and Sixt. So if you have a deal with one of them (or just have your favorite) you can find them in Copenhagen.

In Copenhagen Airport all the agencies have car rental in the corridor between Terminal 2 and 3 (the international part of the airport). When you are arriving and have got your luggage, just turn left and walk about 50 meters. Then you will see the car rental agency signs.

Three of the car rental agencies are represented in the domestic part of the airport (Terminal 1): Hertz, Avis and Europcar. If you prefer Budget or Sixt, you can use the free airport bus to Terminal 3. The ride takes only a few minutes.

In Copenhagen all of the agencies are located in the city centre; close to the Main Station, the Town Hall Square, the Tivoli Garden and many of the hotels.

If you are used to rent cars in the United States, you will probably find the car rental in Copenhagen pretty expensive. But there are ways to get a cheaper car.

The best way to get a cheaper car is to rent the car in the weekend. Many of the agencies have special weekend offers. Long term rental is another way to rent a cheaper car. You can often rent a car for a whole weekend for the same price as 4 or 5 days. Normally the price will also be lower, if you prepay the car instead of just renting it at arrival.

The car rental in Copenhagen is not just more expensive; they are also smaller than in most other countries (especially the United States). But in Denmark the distances are short, so unless you bring a big family and a lot of luggage, a small car will do just fine.

But of course it is possible to rent the big cars in Copenhagen. All the major European luxury car companies can be found at the car rental agencies in Copenhagen; including Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. It is also possible to rent both cabriolets (great in the summer) and BMW Mini Coopers (great for easy parking).
