Road Genius compares campervan rentals from many brands across Denmark. Pick-up locations like Copenhagen, Aarhus and Aalborg place you close to bridges and ferries that connect the islands and Jutland peninsula. Denmark's good roads and short distances allow you to cross the country in half a day, yet weather and bridge tolls still affect the best travel plans.
