The cost of Driving across Denmark does not involve a vignette or a maze of toll booths. Every Danish motorway is completely toll free, and the only charges drivers ever meet are on two fixed links that connect the country’s main landmasses.
Denmark toll roads
The Danish motorway network, including the E20, E45, E47 and E55 corridors, carries no toll for cars and requires no vignette. Charges apply only when a route crosses the Storebælt bridge or the Øresund bridge.
Great Belt bridge price 2026
The Storebælt bridge connects Funen and Zealand and is one of the busiest routes in the country. From January 2026 the standard car rate increased significantly as part of a wider plan to fund maintenance and a carbon neutral upgrade. Payment happens at the moment of crossing, by card, by an automatic tag, or through a prepaid agreement.
Oresund bridge price 2026
The Øresund bridge links Copenhagen with Malmo and carries an estimated 60,000 vehicles a day. The booth rate is the most expensive way to pay, booking online in advance is cheaper, and a subscription service brings the cost down further for frequent travellers.
BroBizz discount
BroBizz is an electronic tag that deducts the toll automatically when the car passes through the crossing. It unlocks a meaningful discount on both Danish bridges and is also accepted at many toll points in Norway and Sweden, useful for anyone driving regularly across Scandinavia.
Good to know: prices on both bridges are indexed to the Danish consumer price index and were adjusted again in 2026, so checking the official Sund og Baelt website before travelling is always worth it.
Denmark fuel and EV charging prices
Denmark has some of the highest fuel taxes in the European Union, which keeps unleaded and diesel prices near the top of the European scale. For electric vehicles, home charging remains the cheapest option, while public fast chargers along the motorway network carry a premium, especially near the two toll bridges.
How to save money driving in Denmark
Getting a BroBizz tag makes the biggest difference for regular drivers, followed by booking Oresund crossings online instead of paying at the booth. A subscription is worth considering for anyone who commutes across either bridge weekly. Tolls are charged per direction, so a round trip always means paying twice. Routes that stay entirely within Jutland avoid both crossings completely.
Good to know: a new fixed link, the Fehmarnbelt tunnel between Denmark and Germany, is under construction and expected to open around 2029. It will introduce a new toll but replace the ferry crossing on the shortest route to Hamburg.
