For travelers who mainly want to cruise through the city, an economic compact car is the best choice. Business travelers may also want to opt for a compact sports car to add some style to their driving experience. When leaving the city and exploring the Danish countryside, an SUV is the car of choice, as it provides the much-needed road traction. Bear in mind that manual gear shift cars are most common in Denmark and opting for an automatic car may cost extra.
All speed limits are given in kilometers per hour, as is usual in Europe. Inside the city, 50 km/h (31 mph) is allowed, unless indicated otherwise or when weather conditions don’t allow drivers to go as fast. 80 km/h (50 mph) can be driven on rural country roads and freeways allow up to 130 km/h (81 mph).
Copenhagen is divided into four parking zones: red, green, blue, and yellow. The closer you get to the city center, the more expensive parking becomes. On-street parking is generally pretty expensive in Copenhagen, so opting for accommodation with an included parking spot or choosing a parking garage are good alternatives. Public parking lots and garages include Jeudan Parking Dronningens Tværgade or Q-Park Adelgade.

Pros:
The 'physical' aspects of the rental (car, cleanliness, price etc) were perfect.Cons:
Beware if you're a woman, especially a foreigner. I booked a 5-door car and they tried to give me a 3-door: in the Copenhagen location the office is on the ground floor, and they send you to the basement parking alone to get your car. Once I realized they had given me a 3-door I went back up to ask for a change. The person serving me, Mr Ryan said 'no, you booked that category' 'we don't have any', when I pushed he said 'ok but you have to wait 30 minutes for us to clean a car' and then finally when I insisted and showed my booking on a my phone (of a 5-door car) they 'miraculously' had a 5-door car ready for me... When I returned the car 3 days later, they were doing the SAME to another foreign woman! Maybe they do this to everyone; either way, it left a sour taste in my mouth.4.4 Mediocre

Pros:
The staff was extremely helpful, and very friendly. It seems like they did everything they could to help us get into an available car that they had.Cons:
I had rented a large seven person van through the kayak website, unfortunately they did not have a large seven passenger van. We had to cram every piece of luggage that we had into a five person station wagon. It was a bit tight. I don’t know if I blame kayak, or the Hertz rental place.8.0 Very good

Cons:
Never received my e-mail receipt for the rental as promised. They couldn't issue one at the counter when the car was returned. I did have them go to the car, review check it out for any issues which they did and and got a clean bill on the returned car. I had them sign the agreement stating so....but still no e-mail of final bill.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
I booked my rental for the correct day, wrong month. Pre-paid through Kayak. They laughed with us and said not to worry about it - they had a car and it was fine. Didn't charge us a thing, gave us great driving advice (red always means stop, for example) and gave us a discounted way to cross bridges. And the car was new, clean, and fun to drive.Cons:
What's not to like? Best car rental experience of my life!9.2 Wonderful

Pros:
Pick up was easy, given good advice on tolls, nice car.Cons:
The Audi A4 nav system was a bit too complex and the engine shut off feature is annoying in traffic. The one problem was we were not provided proper paperwork such as insurance, so it was fortunate that the car did not impounded as Belgium is very strict on this.4.0 Mediocre
