Both in the city and in the Airport Kastrup are numerous car rental companies to rent a car. The opening hours of the car hire companies at the airport are often particularly good and special vehicles such as convertibles or jeeps can also be hired here without any problems. You are spoilt for choice with which vehicle you want to discover Copenhagen!

Without leaving a deposit it’s nearly impossible to rent a car. The deposit has an important role for the car rental companies, because it serves as safety for the rental companies. You pay a high sum to the rental company or the rental company blocks the sum of money on your credit card for a short amount of time, mostly until you return the rental car. The company will return the full sum you payed if the car is in the same condition as it was at the rental and if you stuck to the contract. If you violated traffic rules and have for example been flashed, the rental company will keep the amount of the fine from the deposit and send you the rest of the deposit back.
In Denmark, right to left applies. But bicyclists always have the right of way before car drivers - especially in Copenhagen you should be prepared for this.
Even during the day, cars and motorcycles must drive with the lights on. The horn should only be and in emergencies and mobiles should only be used through headsets or the hands-free device.
It is compulsory to wear a seat belt and children under 135 cm must be transported in a child seat. Children under 3 years of age are transported in appropriate child seats. Ask before you rent a car at the pick-up for a suitable child seat.

So far there are no tolls on Danish roads, except for the Storebaelt bridge and the Öresund bridge. The toll payment station are on both bridges clear to see and signs help you to find the right track.
Anyone who rents a car in Copenhagen or elsewhere in Denmark should follow the parking rules - a ticket is issued quickly and costs about more than 70 €. Parking bans should be strictly respected and at intersections you should keep a distance of about 10 meters to the street corner or junction.
Parking is usually subject to a charge, especially in the city center. There are parking fees in Copenhagen from Monday to Saturday from 8.00 am to 5.00 pm. Also, ask the rental company at the pick-up for a parking disc , if you can’t find one in the car, it could become handy for you.

Tivoli Lake
The Scandinavian countries should be travelled to in spring and summer rather than in winter, because the temperatures in winter are unbearably cold. In spring the temperatures are also not the highest of Europe, but still a lot warmer than in winter. Like that you can discover the sights and the culture in peace. You can rent for one day a bike to find some sights or the promenades. You can also swim in the sea or enjoy the sun at the beach. Do a harbor cruise or enjoy the view of Copenhagen for free on the Christiansborg Slot. Spend one day at the Tivoli-Parc and think back about your childhood or surprise your children. You could as well take a kayak course through one of the many canals in Copenhagen. As you can see there are a lot of things to do in Copenhagen in spring and summer and this was just a little list of all the things you can do.
The Royal Opera
Not only Copenhagen, but also the neighboring islands and the Danish mainland have a lot to offer. For example, how about a trip to Helsingor, to visit Kronborg Castle (UNESCO World Heritage Site)? The old cathedral town of Roskilde with the Viking Museum or the cliffs of Stevns Klint in the south-east of Zealand are also worth a visit.
