Everything You Need to Know About Car Hire 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 the city center you can find all the agencies. They are all close to the Town Hall Square, the Main Station, the Tivoli Garden and a lot 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.

Many car rental agencies have special, cheaper weekend offers. Another way to get a cheaper price is long term rental. Often you can rent a car for a week for the same price as 4 or 5 days. You can also find cheaper prices if you prepay it.

You will probably also find the car in Copenhagen smaller than in most other countries (in particular the United States). But the distances to everything in Denmark are short, so you will not need a large car; unless you bring a lot of luggage and your whole family.

But if you like a big car, it is of course possible to rent one in Copenhagen. You will find cars from all the European luxury car companies like Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Audi. And if you like a cabriolet, you can find that too. Or a BMW Mini Cooper for easy parking.
