Location Guides for Compare Car Rentals

Denmark

Car rental Denmark

Canadians heading for Denmark should compare car rental before they leave; it is an expensive country but booking a rental car online is a great way to save money. The mainland, which borders Germany, is quite rural and most of the population lives in metro Copenhagen on the nearby island that functions as a stepping-stone to Scandinavia.

Car rental in Denmark is a must as there are many places to sniff out and explore, which would be impossible using public transport. Due to the Shengen Agreement, you’re able to pass over the borders of Finland and Germany with ease, but Denmark is rich in cultural delights and tourist attractions.

Denmark’s hotspots

Copenhagen is one of the finest cities in the country and has many beautiful buildings, friendly people and an array of nighttime activities to take part in, from nightclubs and bars, to jazz clubs and music festivals. Billund, on the mainland, is the parochial home of LEGO and the LEGO theme park. There are fantastic hotels and restaurants nearby as well as forests for hikes, mountain biking and rock-climbing, too.

Snowmobiling in the mountains during the winter is a great thing to do, but for Canadians that might seem like a home away from home, so visit in the summer for sunbathing and water-sports on the lakes. There is the Open Air Museum at Aarhus, which is rich in culture and a must-visit place.

Best time to stay

Canadians generally prefer the warmer months, as there are many non-winter events that take place. There are beer festivals, music events and markets in the city centres. If you do go in the winter, there are ferocious winds and many snowstorms that are just as fascinating to see. Visit the island of Zealand, which is where most of the population lives, and you’re only a few hours from Finland, if you fancy a trans-European jaunt.
