Denmark is a destination often chosen by tourists, and this brings good news to those who want to travel with their own car in Denmark. The Denmark vignette is free for small cars, so you don’t have to stress about the cost and process of purchasing it.
Transporters, on the other hand, who own a vehicle with a maximum authorized mass of more than 12 tons must purchase a Denmark vignette, under the name Eurovignette, also valid in Luxembourg, Sweden and the Netherlands.
Careful! Whether you drive a car or are a heavy vehicle carrier, you will pay tolls for the Danish Great Belt Bridge and the Øresund Bridge, which are not included in the Eurovignette.
In this article we present everything you need to know about transiting through Denmark.
Road toll network Denmark
Denmark has a road toll network implemented and checked by mobile cameras and field inspectors.
The highway network is approximately 1000 km long, and the obligation to pay the Eurovignette intended for the Denmark highway tax belongs only to heavy vehicles with a maximum authorized mass of over 12 tons.
In the case of the bridges in Denmark Øresund Bridge – 7.85 km and Storebælt Bridge – 18 km, the related tolls are paid at the entrance to the road section by all drivers of vehicles participating in the traffic.
In the event of non-payment of the related fees, a penalty notice and a fine will be issued on the spot in the event of an inspection.
Free Denmark vignette for cars
A big advantage for Denmark is that through the implementation of the Eurovignette, cars and small vehicles are exempt from paying for the Denmark vignette.
So you can drive smoothly on the roads of Denmark and you can transit it without the stress of road tolls.
However, you will have to pay extra attention to the Denmark road tax imposed in the case of bridges, which we talk about in the rest of the article.
Denmark vignette for trucks
In the case of heavy vehicles with a mass of more than 12 tons, the Denmark vignette must be purchased.
The good thing is that the Denmark vignette is an electronic one, and you won’t have to stick it on the windshield in the traditional way.
However, you will also have to pay Denmark tolls for bridges, which are not included in the Eurovignette payment.
We will explain how to buy a Denmark vignette online, its price, but also the price of tolls for bridges in the following.
How much does a Denmark vignette cost and how long is it valid for?
You choose the validity of the vignette for a period between a minimum of one day and a maximum of one year.
The price of the vignette differs depending on:
- Number of axles;
- Period of validity;
- Pollution class.
The price for the Denmark vignette valid for one day is 12 euros, regardless of the characteristics of the vehicle.
In the case of a month’s purchase, prices start from 75 Euros for a EURO 0 vehicle with 1-3 axles and 235 Euros for a EURO 0 vehicle with 4 axles and can reach up to 140 Euros for a EURO 6 vehicle with 1-3 axles.
