Car rental in Bornholm

The local driving culture in Bornholm differs slightly from the UK, but no worries - adapt quickly and easily using these tips:

• Drive on the Right: Contrary to the UK, vehicles travel on the right-hand side of the road in Denmark. Be vigilant, especially at junctions and roundabouts.
• Speed Limits: Speed limits vary from 50 km/h in built-up areas, 80 km/h outside towns and up to 130 km/h on expressways. Stay within the limits to avoid penalties.
• Parking: Obey local parking regulations. Notice that some areas require a parking disc, which comes free at most car rental agencies and tourist offices.

Car Classes and Climate Considerations

Your choice of rental car may hinge on Bornholm’s weather conditions. Although the island experiences a milder climate than mainland Denmark, conditions can still be unpredictable especially during winter months.

Compact cars are great for navigating the small streets of Bornholm's towns, while an SUV offers the perfect balance of comfort and capability if you're planning to explore the diverse terrains of the island.
