The Storebælt Bridge toll in Denmark is paid at a toll booth, not with a motorway vignette. In 2026, a standard passenger car measuring 3–6 m pays DKK 205 for one crossing with active automatic payment through Bizz or by licence plate, and DKK 235 by card or cash.
How much does the Storebælt Bridge cost for a passenger car?
From 1 January 2026, a vehicle measuring 3–6 m costs DKK 205 as the Express Price with an active Bizz or recognised licence-plate payment, and DKK 235 by card or cash. The category is determined by measurement at the toll booth; the amounts are listed in the official Storebælt price list for private drivers.
A combination with a trailer and a total length of up to 6 m remains in the same tariff. A vehicle or combination longer than 6 m and lower than 2.7 m costs DKK 314 with automatic payment, or DKK 360 by card or cash.
Why can the price be higher than for a standard passenger car?
The actual length and height during the crossing matter, not only the details in the vehicle registration document. The length includes the trailer, tow bar and bicycle carrier; a roof box or other equipment can affect the height. Check the dimensions of the entire combination, especially when carrying bicycles or towing a caravan.
How to pay the Storebælt Bridge toll
Choose a lane according to your payment method. Green express lanes are for an active Bizz or licence-plate payment, and the lower Express Price applies there. Blue lanes are for cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners and JCB. Yellow lanes accept cash in Danish kroner and euros, except for a EUR 500 banknote. The information is confirmed by the Storebælt toll-booth operator.
Licence-plate payment works only with an active supported agreement. Not every foreign licence plate can be used for automatic reading, so check this in advance with the payment-solution provider.
Practical steps before reaching the toll booth
- Check the car’s length, including the trailer and rear-mounted carrier.
- With an active Bizz or licence-plate payment, use the green lane.
- Without automatic payment, use the blue lane for a card; cash belongs in the yellow lane.
- Watch the traffic light. If the barrier does not open, do not get out or reverse; use the assistance button.
Detailed information about road tolls in Denmark distinguishes this separate bridge toll from other costs on the route.
What to watch for when crossing
The automatic discount does not apply if Bizz or licence-plate payment is not active at the time of crossing. The operator may charge an unpaid crossing afterwards; under the toll-booth rules, a DKK 600 surcharge may be added to the standard price. Keep the payment receipt and check the status of the automatic payment method before departure.
