Vehicles under 12 T
One of the great advantages of driving in Denmark is that cars and small vehicles are exempt from paying the Denmark toll roads. So you can drive smoothly on Denmark’s roads and enjoy transit without the stress of tolls.
However, it is important to pay close attention to the toll charged when using bridges in Denmark. These tolls are applied separately and must be paid to cross certain bridges in the country.

Fares for using the Øresund Bridge and the Storebælt Bridge vary depending on the vehicle category you own.
These bridges use a closed toll system, which means you will need to purchase the appropriate toll for your vehicle upon entering the bridge.
To find out exactly the toll you will pay, you can access the official Storebælt Bridge calculator here.
The Øresund Bridge is the longest road-rail bridge in Europe and connects Denmark to Sweden, with a length of 16 km and connecting two cities from two different countries. Pricing information for this bridge can be found here.
Tolls for vehicles over 12 T
Denmark has an extensive road toll network, which is monitored by mobile cameras and field inspectors.
The motorway network is approximately 1000 km long, and the obligation to pay the Eurovignette, intended for the Danish motorway toll, only applies to heavy vehicles with a maximum authorized mass of more than 12 tonnes.
In the case of Denmark bridge tolls, such as the 7.85 km Øresund Bridge and the 18 km Storebælt Bridge, the appropriate tolls are paid at the entrance to the road section for all drivers of vehicles participating in traffic.
In the situation where the related fees are not paid, a penalty notice is issued and a fine must be paid on the spot in the event of an inspection.

In the case of heavy vehicles with a mass of more than 12 tons, you will need to purchase a Denmark vignette.
An advantage is that the Denmark vignette is electronic, so you don’t have to traditionally stick it on the windshield.
However, you have to be careful, because in the case of bridges in Denmark, such as the Øresund Bridge and the Storebælt Bridge, tolls also apply that are not included in the Eurovignette payment.
I will explain how you can purchase the Denmark vignette online and what its price is, but also how you can pay the tolls for using the bridges.
