Denmark: Tolls
A mixed system — which roads charge, how paying works, and what it costs.
LAST VERIFIED 2026-09-13Denmark has no road tolls in the ordinary sense. The entire cost of driving through the country is two bridges, and whether you pay anything at all depends purely on your route: cross from Germany and drive up Jutland and you will pay nothing. The Great Belt prices by vehicle dimensions rather than by class, so length, weight and height all feed into what you are charged — an unusual arrangement, and one that means a roof box or a trailer can move you into a different bracket than you expected. The lane colours at the Great Belt plaza are worth knowing before you arrive, because choosing wrong means either queueing needlessly or ending up in a lane that will not take your payment method.
Toll system
No general road tolls; the Great Belt Bridge (Storebæltsbroen) and the Øresund Bridge to Sweden charge a fixed crossing fee.
How to pay
Denmark has no general road tolls; the charges are two fixed bridge crossings — the Great Belt (Storebælt) on the E20, and the Øresund Bridge to Sweden. Both are paid at the plaza, and the Great Belt keeps genuinely separate lanes: green express lanes for a BroBizz tag or a number-plate agreement, passable at up to 50 km/h; blue self-service lanes for debit, credit and fuel cards; and yellow lanes for cash. Pick the right colour before you commit, because changing lanes at a toll plaza is not easy.
What it costs
The Great Belt price is calculated automatically from the vehicle's length, weight and height, and varies with whether you hold an agreement and when you cross. The Øresund Bridge is priced separately by its own operator. Both are fixed per-crossing charges rather than distance-based. Figures are indicative and can change — confirm with the operator before travelling.
