Skagen Center Car Hire

Rent a car in Skagen town center and experience Denmark's northernmost point where the Kattegat meets the Skagerrak. Skagen is located at the top of Jutland, 45 km north of Frederikshavn and 110 km north of Aalborg via motorway E45 and road 40. With just 1 rental company in the center, it's important to book well in advance, especially during summer season.

Skagen is famous for its unique light that attracted the Skagen painters in the 1800s, the migrating Råbjerg Mile sand dune 15 km to the south, and Grenen – the narrow sandbar where the two seas meet 3 km north of the center. Skagen's Museum and Brøndums Hotel are cultural highlights. Drive to Grenen early in the morning to avoid summer crowds – parking at Grenen fills up quickly during July.

Råbjerg Mile, 15 km south of Skagen via road 40, is a spectacular stop and requires a short walk from the parking area. Book your car at least 2 months in advance during summer – Skagen is one of Denmark's most popular destinations and there is only one rental company. How far is it from Skagen to Aalborg by car?
