Can you take a bike or a pram in a taxi in Denmark?

One pram or one bike per trip.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

In a Danish taxi you can demand that one pram or one bicycle comes along on the trip. There are no clear rules on the size and weight of the bike, so in May 2023 the taxi authority issued a separate guidance note on bikes in taxis. A dispatch office may charge for extra services, but the price must be listed on its website before you book. A wheelchair or guide dog may never be charged for.

Why

  1. The right covers one pram or one bike, not both.
  2. Bridge and ferry fees can be added to the fare.
  3. All extra charges must be published by the dispatch office.

Details

Larger cars for more passengers have their own, higher kilometre rate under the price cap.

Tip

If you travel with a cargo bike or a large e-bike, book a larger car in advance instead of hailing one.

What may differ

Whether a large bike fits depends on the car, so what you can take may differ between taxis.

Common misconception

Many think a taxi driver can always refuse a bike or a pram.

What actually happens

Passengers have the right to bring one pram or one bike.
