Advices for Car Trips through Denmark
35. The driver must always have a standard set of documents in the car. The set of documents includes the international driving license, the vehicle certificate and the car insurance (the so called “green card”). Bicycle remains a popular form of transport in Denmark. According to statistics, every third resident of the country uses bicycle as a primary vehicle.
36. Because of such popularity, there are special lanes for cyclists along the main roads of the country. These bicycle lanes have superb quality and all road markings. Sometimes cyclists move on the same road with cars. In this case, it is worth remembering that drivers have the advantage over bicycles.
37. The desire to protect the environment and craving for a healthy lifestyle is not the only reason for the popularity of the bicycle. Denmark is known as the country with the world’s highest car tax. Moreover, many locals simply cannot afford to wait long hours in traffic jams that are so common there.
38. In addition to cyclists and pedestrians, the public transport has the priority on the road. When driving, it is not recommended to overtake buses. Of course, car drivers cannot occupy special lanes for the public transport.
39. In case of an accident, do not forget to call the police, otherwise you will simply get no insurance coverage. It is prohibited to move the cars involved in the accident. To call the rescue service in emergency situations, dial 112. The phone number for non-urgent inquiries is 114.
Renting a Car in Denmark - Recommendations
If you need a car with an automatic transmission, it is recommended to book it in advance. Cars with automatic transmissions are often sparse in Denmark, so the rental confirmation may take a longer period.
When selecting a specific model for traveling throughout Denmark, we recommend to take into consideration some practical apects. If you are going to drive mostly in the cities, then a car of a small size is preferable, while for long distance trips (and trips in the mountains) we recommend to choose a larger and more powerful car.
Prior your car retrun, please clean the salon from a garbage, and do not forget to take away all your belongings from the passenger compartment.
At the car return time, please ask the officer to make a visual inspection of the vehicle for defects and to sign the acceptance report. Keep the invoice and the acceptance report for next few months.

41. “Smart Roads” will be equipped with LEDs, by means of which quick adjustments will be implemented. The presence or absence of sidewalks and special bike lanes, the number and width of car lanes - the road will self-monitor and regulate the presence of all these elements.
42. As mentioned above, in Denmark much attention is paid to cyclists. Every year roads for cyclists improve and new roads are built. To optimize the infrastructure of roads, there are so called cyclist counters along some roads.
43. These are small electronic boards with the «Cyklister I dag» mark. As soon as a cyclist rides past the counter, the numerical value displayed on it is increased by one. This way it becomes possible to find out what roads are the most popular with bicycle drivers. Of course, the most frequently used roads are the first ones to be repaired and made as comfortable as possible.
44. As right driving is accepted in Denmark, it is possible to overtake cars on the left only. The principle of entering a roundabout is the same - the cars that move in the circle have the priority.
45. Drivers can see electronic boards near some settlements. Contrary to a popular belief, these boards display the speed of the vehicle and not the recommended speed on that section of road.
46. On highways it is possible to stop in specially designated areas only. As a rule, there are special pockets for cars near petrol stations.
48. Two-lane roads are the most widespread in the cities. Their quality is considered one of the highest in the world. In Denmark roads are distinguished by great informative support and large choice of road signs that can be seen on roads of all sizes and types.
49. Drivers, who often neglect the requirements of prohibition signs, will definitely not like Dutch roads. In Denmark, it is important to follow all the rules, and if you choose not to do that, you can be sure you will get fines for all violations you make.
50. Drivers, who want to devote a large part of their travel to rides on the territories of different cities, are recommended to start such a travel in a small car. This way it will be more convenient to move around in heavy traffic, and it will be a lot easier to find a free space for parking.
51. Drivers, who enjoy making rides in scenic places, will certainly fall in love with the route of Margueritruten, which is literally translated as "The road of daisies". The length of the route is 3.5 thousand kilometers. The road of daisies passes through the most beautiful places in the country. In order to help travellers not to go astray, the entire road is marked with special signs - brown signs with a picture of a daisy.
