Important remarks
- Driving in Denmark: 1. It's compulsory to drive with headlights on at all times, even on the brightest summer's day. 2. Speed limits. 2.1 Urban centres up to 50 km/h. 2.2 Roads up to 80 km/h. 2.3 Dual carriageways and motorways up to 130 km/h. 3. A red warning triangle and a reflective yellow vest must always be carried in the car in the event of breakdown or accident. Emergency telephone numbers: Falck (+45 70 10 20 30) / Dansk Autohjælp (+45 70 10 80 90) 4. Alcohol consumption. The legal limit is 5 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. There are severe penalties for drivers who exceed the allowed limit. 5. There are no tolls in Denmark, except for the two major bridges: the Storebæltbroen (linking the islands of Fyn and Sjælland) and the Øresundbroen (connecting Copenhagen and Malmö). All drivers, regardless of nationality, have to pay these Danish tolls.
- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
- We recommend you buy the ferry tickets in advance when purchasing your self-drive tour, as they're not included in the trip and, depending on the time of year, your vehicle and your ferry preferences, the trip will be longer or will have set dates. To ease the planning of your trip, please consult schedules and rates on the ferry companies' websites before choosing your start date.
