About Renting a Car at Copenhagen Airport
Copenhagen Airport (CPH) in Kastrup is the Nordic region's busiest airport and offers ten rental companies on site for maximum choice right upon arrival. The car rental is located in terminal 3 and you're out on E20 toward the city center (15 km, 20 min) or toward the Øresund Bridge (5 km, 10 min) within minutes. CPH is the perfect starting point for a road trip through Denmark and Scandinavia.
Copenhagen Airport handles over 30 million passengers per year and is a hub for SAS and Norwegian. The airport is located on Amager, 8 km south of Copenhagen's city center and 5 km from the Danish anchorage of the Øresund Bridge. E20 and ring road 3 provide direct access to the entire Danish highway network.
Pick up your car in the car rental hall in terminal 3 - follow the signs from the arrivals hall, it takes about 5 minutes to walk. Compare prices among the ten companies - the differences can be significant, especially for longer rentals. Do not drive into central Copenhagen during rush hour - E20 and the Amager Highway can be heavily congested from 07-09 and 15-18.
