Do I Need a BroBizz for Denmark? 2025 Update
No, you don't need a BroBizz to drive in Denmark - but you'll save significantly on bridge crossings with one. Denmark's road network is completely free except for two major bridges: the Great Belt Bridge (Storebæltsbro) and Øresund Bridge (Øresundsbro).
Key Reality: Bridge tolls without electronic payment cost significantly more. Øresund Bridge costs 510 DKK cash vs 178 DKK with ØresundGO discount - savings that pay for the annual fee on the first round trip.
2025 Update: New pricing structure from January 1, 2025 reduces cash prices on Storebælt Bridge by 45 DKK due to EU Eurovignette Directive limiting automatic payment discounts to maximum 13%.

Unpaid bridge tolls result in a 600 DKK surcharge plus the original toll amount. License plate recognition ensures enforcement for all vehicles.
Do motorcycles pay tolls on Danish bridges?
Yes, motorcycles pay bridge tolls but at reduced rates compared to cars. Electronic payment systems offer the same discounts as for cars.
Is BroBizz worth it for tourists?
