The price of crossing the Great Belt Bridge increases for most drivers

It should be the cheapest and by far the most efficient payment solution. But now it will be more expensive to drive over the Great Belt Bridge with license plate payment or Brobizz.

The price for crossing the Great Belt Bridge has increased in 2025. For the vast majority of drivers, this means an additional cost of 10 kroner for a round trip across the bridge. The change is due to an adjustment to the prices that will take effect at the turn of the year.

Around 75 percent of users pay with automatic payment via license plate or Brobizz. For these drivers, the price of a single trip in a passenger car has increased by 5 kroner – from 196 to 201 kroner. This corresponds to an increase of 2.55 percent.

The price will also increase for those who use the evening and weekend discount. The evening discount now costs 241 kroner for a round trip, while the weekend discount has increased to 340 kroner.

While the price is increasing for the majority of users, there is good news for the approximately 24 percent who pay by card or cash. For them, the price has been reduced.

The reason for the price changes is new EU regulations that limit the discount when using automatic payment.

"Therefore, the government has decided to reduce the price for cash payments for passenger cars and vans, so that the price difference between the two ticket types will be smaller," said Minister of Transport Thomas Danielsen (V) in December 2024, in a press release .

Although it is still cheaper to use automatic payment, the price difference has become smaller. Before the price changes, it was approximately 25 percent cheaper to pay with Brobizz or license plate. Now the savings have been reduced to approximately 12.6 percent.

Drivers, on the other hand, don't have to worry about the cameras that are otherwise set up to catch speeders on the bridge connection. The images from them are so poor that the police can't send out the tickets. Read more about it here .

On the other hand, something that drivers may find frustrating is the rising fuel prices. The prices are neither due to price developments nor to the fact that there is less oil to be found.

Instead, the price increase, which was repeated on both January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025, is due to a very old agreement in the Danish Parliament. The so-called 'spring package' from 2009 significantly increases the tax on both diesel and gasoline in these years.

In addition, the periodic fees that drivers pay to have their cars on license plates at all will increase significantly until 2027. The rule – or rather the increase – also applies to vintage cars.
