Everything You Need to Know About Car Hire in Copenhagen

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.

All the car rental agencies are represented in the international part of Copenhagen Airport. The offices are located in the corridor between Terminal 2 and 3. When you have picked up your luggage and cleared the customs, turn left and walk 50 meters. Then you can see the car rental agency signs.

In the domestic part of the airport (Terminal 1), you can rent cars from Avis, Europcar and Hertz. If you prefer one of the others, you can just catch the free airport bus to Terminal 3. It will only take you 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 normally rent cars in the United States, you will probably be chocked to see the prices in Denmark. But there are ways to find cheap car rental in Copenhagen.

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 cars in Denmark are also smaller than in many other countries (especially compared to the United States). But the distances in Denmark are short, so unless you are bringing a lot of luggage (or a big family), you do not need a large car.

If you prefer a big car, it is possible to find all the European luxury models in Copenhagen. That includes BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz. If you like to spoil yourself, rent a cabriolet in the summer. Or make your parking easier with a BMW Mini Cooper.
