1) Bike rentals (best value for sightseeing) 🚲✅
Baisikeli (shop rental)
- From DKK 100/day for city bikes
- From DKK 450/day for cargo bikes
- Long-term discounts; e-bikes available (per provider).
Marry Cykler (simple daily rental)
- Provider states €10/day, no deposit required.
Tip: If you want the “classic Copenhagen day,” a standard city bike rental is usually the easiest and cheapest option.
2) App-based bikes (24/7 flexibility) 📱🚲
Donkey Republic (very common in Copenhagen)
- Works via app, 24/7; pricing depends on whether you choose minute/day deals or memberships.
- Donkey’s help center notes that pay-as-you-go membership gives discounted rates, but the monthly fee and rental prices are shown in the app (because they vary).
How to write it in the article (safe phrasing):
“Donkey Republic offers pay-as-you-go, day deals, and memberships; check the in-app price for your exact pickup point and time.”
3) Shared e-scooters & e-bikes 🛴⚠️
Lime
- Lime states pricing is a fixed unlock fee + a per-minute rate, and rates vary by location/time.
- Historical reference: when Lime launched scooters in Copenhagen, one reported launch price was 10 DKK to unlock + 2 DKK/min (launch-era pricing; today may differ).
Voi
- Voi also uses standard “unlock + per-minute” pricing and sells passes/minute bundles (exact rates vary).
- Voi publishes examples of “standard rates” in other Danish cities (e.g., Aalborg shown as 10 kr unlock + 2.30 kr/min), but Copenhagen can differ.
Important Copenhagen-specific note: parking/end-trip rules can be strict in designated areas—always follow the in-app parking zones to avoid extra fees or failed trip-end.
4) Car sharing (airport runs + day trips) 🚗
GreenMobility (free-floating electric cars)
- GreenMobility lists discounted cars from DKK 1.5/min and standard pricing from DKK 5.5/min, plus packages.
- Parking: GreenMobility says you can park for free at public parking spots inside the zone (still respect time limits).
- Airport: they have a dedicated setup for Copenhagen Airport (P7A hotspot); both GreenMobility and the airport describe reserved parking in P7A.
LetsGo / Hyre (station-based car share)
- Example “Try LetsGo” pricing shows: Small car from DKK 55/hour, 440/day, 2,495/week.
- LetsGo pricing page: per-km fee listed as DKK 1.50/km (small/medium) and DKK 2.00/km (large).
One-sentence disclaimer you can reuse in every article ✅
“Prices can change and may vary by time, demand, and in-app offers—always check the app before unlocking or booking.”
