How to find a cheap car hire deal in Aarhus

  • Pick up a cheap rental car in Aarhus and start your adventure for around ₹ 21,300 a day. From city stays to far-flung escapes, we'll match you with a rental that works for you.

  • ₹ 9,399 is the cheapest daily price offered for a rental in Aarhus.

  • Staying a little longer and want to explore beyond the tourist trail? ₹ 65,790 is the best rate for a weekly rental.

  • To land the best price on a Aarhus car hire, it's a good idea to book in advance. Rates tend to rise as your travel dates get closer, and you might have less to pick from.

  • Get behind the wheel with Sixt, Europcar or Keddy By Europcar. They're some of the most reliable providers in the city.

  • The coverage Sixt or another company includes with your Aarhus car hire can vary, so remember to read the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge a fee for it.

  • Booking one-way could score you a discount on your rental. Providers sometimes offer lower rates when vehicles need to be moved between branches. Simply click 'Return car to a different location' when searching the cars for rent in Aarhus.

  • Save money on fuel by choosing a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You collect the car with a full tank and return it full, so you only pay for what you use.

  • Hit the highway without tracking every mile and racking up extra charges. Go to the 'Policies' filter and click 'Unlimited mileage' to find a car that lets you roam without limits.

Compare car hire types in Aarhus

  • Small: Whether you're darting along city streets or taking a quick trip, this car category delivers big value in a small package. Including mini and economy classes, you can expect great mileage and easy handling.

  • Medium: Not too big, not too small, this is the rental that's juuuust right! Typically including compact and intermediate cars, they strike a balance of interior space and fuel efficiency and are popular with couples and small families.

  • Large: Long drives fly by in this Aarhus car hire category. Also known as full-size, they pack plenty of power for open-road performance. The extra space and comfort make them a popular choice for families and groups of friends.

  • SUV: SUVs are adventure on four wheels. All-wheel drive and everyday versatility equip them for urban streets and scenic routes alike.

  • Van: If you're searching for a car for rent in Aarhus that fits a small crowd (and all their gear), a van is the roomy solution. Including commercial vans and trucks, they're just the thing for group travel, moving or business use.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Adding excess insurance to your Aarhus car hire lets you drive with confidence. It protects you from paying a hefty excess fee in case of theft or an accident. Insurance policies aren't the same across all rental providers, so always compare your options.

  • Make travel easier when you rent a car in Aarhus by adding some nifty extras. Think things like a GPS unit to keep you headed the right way, or reverse cameras that'll help you park like a pro.

Good to know

  • Age requirements can vary by provider and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some companies in Denmark may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.

  • Travelling with kids? Car seat requirements differ from place to place, and the right setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Make sure you add the right one to your Aarhus car rental reservation.

  • You'll need to show some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds for the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.

  • Get familiar with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, test the lights and blinkers, and get used to its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Denmark.

  • Local speed limits may vary, but it's typically around 45kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always obey the road signs.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Denmark is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.

  • One of the busiest times to be out on the roads in this destination is around 8am. Make travel easier by steering clear of peak periods.

  • You'll be using the Danish Krone (DKK) for day-to-day spending here. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cards and cash to cover you in every situation.

  • Spend less time looking for a place to park and more time settling into the comfort of Guesthouse Sharon Suite. About 2 kilometres from central Aarhus, it comes with parking, bicycle rentals and a barbeque.
