Drive on the Right in Denmark
Remember, unlike the UK, traffic in Denmark drives on the right-hand side of the road. Don't worry, it won't take you longer than a day's drive to get comfortable with this switch.
Crosswalks and Speed limits
Beware of 'zebra crossings', as pedestrians in Denmark have the right-of-way. Maintain speed limits; which typically are 50 km/hr in built up areas, 80 km/hr in country roads and 130 km/hr on motorways.
Renting a Car at Billund Airport
Billund Airport hosts five leading car rental companies - Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz and Sixt, offering a convenient and quick rental service. From luxury to budget, sedan to SUV, you'll find a rental car to fit your needs and budget.
Fuel Stations
There are two petrol stations not far away from the airport - Bilka and Shell, which are open 24 hours a day. Always keep your tank at least quarter-full as petrol stations are not always easy to find, particularly in rural areas.
Exploring Denmark from Billund Airport
If this is your first visit, a drive to Copenhagen, the capital city of Denmark is highly recommended. This trip along the E20 will transition you from rural landscapes, to coastal sceneries before finally introducing you to the Danish rhythm of urban life.
Driving Route
The driving route from Billund Airport to Copenhagen city centre is approximately 260 km and takes around 2 hours 45 minutes via the E20. Alternatively, you can choose to take a slight detour via the scenic coastal route which might take a bit longer but is definitely worth the view.
Currency and Climate
Denmark uses the Danish Kroner (DKK) for all transactions. Britain's Sterling Pound and other foreign currencies are not accepted. Denmark typically experiences mild and temperate climate throughout the year, so always keep a light jacket handy.
So get ready to fuel your wanderlust, hop into that hired car, and explore the bewitching country that is Denmark!
