About Renting a Car at Esbjerg Airport

Esbjerg Airport (EBJ) primarily serves the offshore industry and business travelers to the west coast of Jutland, but is also a convenient option for tourists. With five rental companies on site, you can pick up your car right upon arrival and be in Esbjerg city center in 10 minutes. The airport provides easy access to all of southwestern Jutland.

Esbjerg Airport is 9 km northeast of Esbjerg city center and is reached in 10 minutes via road 447. Ribe is 40 km to the south (approximately 35 min) and Blåvand Lighthouse on Jutland's western tip is 50 km north along the coast. Pick up your rental car at the airport and drive directly south toward Ribe and the Wadden Sea for a day trip before checking in at your hotel.

Check if the rental company offers a car seat or GPS as add-ons – it can be harder to arrange at the last minute at a small airport. The nearest gas station to the airport is in Tjæreborg, 4 km to the south. How long does it take to drive from Esbjerg Airport to the Fanø ferry?
