Parking in Kastrup and around Copenhagen
To park in Denmark, a parking disc is required for all vehicles and is given with rental cars. It is used for free parking spots as a clock to time your length of stay as a time restriction will be enforced. Display it on the dashboard for the duration of your rental. On-street parking can be difficult to find during weekdays in downtown Copenhagen, but there are many parking garages in the area. Be sure to abide by posted signs regarding time limits and hourly rates. Another option is to leave the car hire at your accommodation provider and use public transportation to visit the city.
