Driving Tips for Denmark
To maximize seeing Denmark, a car is ideal. Known for its good roads, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with local customs.
- Headlights: Headlights must be on at all times while driving in Denmark.
- Share the road: Cars must always yield to cyclists. Watch for cyclists when turning, and always be alert for the placement of the bike lane.
- Tolls: Major bridges, including the Oresund Bridge and Storebelt Bridge, charge tolls. Be prepared with SIXT’s prepaid tolling.
- Roundabouts: Always yield to cars arriving from the left at roundabouts.
- Parking discs: Parking on the street in Denmark requires a visible disc in the windshield. Your SIXT rental car will have this prepared for you.
- Signage: Danish road signs use standard international symbols, but it’s helpful to familiarize yourself with Danish words, like ‘udkorsel’ for exit and ‘indkorsel’ for entrance.
