Can you cross the Great Belt Bridge without stopping in a foreign car?
The digital ticket for the bridge
Short answer
Yes, with a Storebæltsbillet, a digital ticket that you buy online and link to the car's number plate. You enter the plate with the right country code, pay with a payment card and get a confirmation by email. The ticket is valid 20 minutes after purchase and must be used within 30 days. At the toll station the plate is read automatically and the barrier opens, so you do not have to stop to pay.
Why
- Works with foreign number plates.
- Valid 20 minutes after purchase.
- Must be used within 30 days.
Details
If the plate is not read, you can type it in on the screen in the express lane or press the help button.
Tip
Keep the number plate clean, because the scanner must be able to read it.
What may differ
Number plate payment from Brobizz requires Danish or Swedish plates, so foreign drivers usually choose the ticket or pay by card.
Common misconception
Many foreign drivers think they always have to queue at a card or cash booth.
What actually happens
A Storebæltsbillet linked to the plate opens the barrier automatically, also for foreign cars.
