Can you pay the Great Belt Bridge toll in cash or euros?

Lane colours at the toll station

Short answer

Yes, but only in the yellow cash lanes, which are the only lanes that take cash, in Danish kroner or euros. Change is always given in Danish kroner, and euros are exchanged at the daily rate plus an exchange cost. The blue lanes take Danish and foreign payment cards as well as truck and fuel cards. The green express lanes are for Bizz and number plate payment, with a speed limit of 50 km/h.

Great Belt and Øresund

Why

  1. Yellow lanes: cash in DKK or EUR.
  2. Blue lanes: foreign cards accepted.
  3. Green lanes: Bizz and plates, 50 km/h.

Details

The price is set automatically from the measured length and height of the vehicle, and a bike rack or trailer counts in the length.

Tip

Paying by card is usually simpler than euros, because you avoid the exchange cost and change in kroner.

What may differ

The exchange rate for euros changes daily.

Common misconception

Many drivers think you can pay cash in any lane.

What actually happens

Cash is only accepted in the yellow lanes, and the signs at the toll station show the lane colours.
