Can guests get a parking permit in Copenhagen?

Free guest permits, but not in every zone.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

A guest permit (gæstelicens) in Copenhagen is only for residents of the free time-limited zones, such as Nordvest, Bispebjerg or Amager Strand. It is free and valid for three days at a time, and the resident applies for it at parkering.kk.dk. Guests of people living in the paid zones cannot get one and must pay normal parking or use a car park. In some zones, the Visitors app lets you book free parking for up to three days in private car parks the city has leased.

Why

  1. The resident, not the guest, applies for the permit.
  2. A guest permit lasts three days at a time.
  3. The paid zones have no guest permits.

Details

Guests staying longer with a resident can contact the municipality about the rules, but a free space is never guaranteed.

Tip

If your host lives in a paid zone, plan to use a municipal or private car park during the visit.

What may differ

The list of time-limited zones and Visitors car parks can change.

Common misconception

Many think any Copenhagen resident can order a guest permit for visitors.

What actually happens

Only residents of the time-limited zones can do that; in the paid zones guests pay.
