Do I Need to Pay Tolls in Denmark? 2026 Update
It depends on your route. Denmark has no general motorway tolls and no vignette requirement. However, two major bridge crossings charge tolls: the Storebælt (Great Belt) Fixed Link connecting Zealand and Funen, and the Øresund Bridge connecting Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden.
Key Reality: If you're driving between Copenhagen and mainland Jutland (or continuing to Germany), you must cross the Storebælt and pay a toll. The Øresund toll only applies if you're crossing to or from Sweden. All other Danish motorways are completely free.
2026 Update: Storebælt toll rates were adjusted in January 2026 following annual indexation. The Øresund Bridge increased rates slightly and continues offering the ØresundGO commuter agreement with significant discounts for frequent crossers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I avoid the Storebælt toll?
The only alternative is the ferry from Kalundborg (Zealand) to Aarhus (Jutland), which takes about 3 hours and costs roughly the same for a car and driver. There is no toll-free road connection between Zealand and Funen/Jutland.
Do I need a vignette for Danish motorways?
No. Denmark has no vignette system. All motorways are toll-free — only the Storebælt and Øresund crossings charge tolls.
Is BroBizz worth getting for a single trip?
For a single crossing, the savings (DKK 44 on Storebælt) don't offset the monthly subscription fee. BroBizz is best value for frequent crossers or Scandinavian road trips using multiple toll points.
What about the Fehmarn Belt tunnel?
The Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link connecting Denmark (Lolland) and Germany (Fehmarn) is under construction with an expected opening around 2029. It will be a tolled crossing. Preliminary estimates suggest car tolls of approximately €60–70 one way, potentially with BroBizz discounts.
