About Renting a Car at Hirtshals Center

Rent a car in Hirtshals and travel easily to and from one of Denmark's most important ferry ports with connections to Norway, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands. By car, you'll reach Hirtshals Havn in 3 minutes and Hjørring in 20 minutes to the south. Two rental companies are available in the center.

Hirtshals is located in North Jutland on the Skagerrak coast, 25 km north of Hjørring. The town is dominated by the large fishing port and ferry terminal with Color Line and Smyril Line. The sea and the North Sea Oceanarium – one of Europe's largest – is the town's pride.

If you are taking the ferry to Norway, book your car well in advance – the summer season is intense and availability is limited. Drive 15 km south to Tornby Strand for Jutland's impressive dune landscape. Visit the North Sea Oceanarium right by the port – perfect for families with children.
