Although Denmark consists mainly of islands, its bridges and ferries connect them to make car travel easy and pleasant. Car ferry fares are reasonable, and all bridges and highways are free. Road signs are excellent and even back roads are asphalted. Seat belts must be used by the driver and all passengers.
Headlights are obligatory day and night.
Children must be strapped with some kind of safety device, the youngest in a baby chair, those between ages 3 and 7 in a children's chair or on a seat cushion. Children under 3 are not permitted in a front seat unless they are seated in a special baby chair that fits them. Rental rates range from USD 73-293 per day depending on make and period. A special Fly-Drive arrangement is also available from New York and Baltimore with Icelandair.
