Normally you are not allowed to drive foreign cars in Denmark as a dane, but it is now changed.

the Stranded danes abroad, who have a car with foreign plates get exceptionally allowed to cross the border to Denmark.

It informs the ministry of finance in a press release.

the Measure, for example, help the danes, who are stranded in a holiday home abroad and only have a car with foreign plates standing in the garage.

Normally, one must, as a dane not run in Denmark with a foreign car.

If you do anyway, every night there is a expense, but it will be disregarded in the current situation.

The temporary scheme will apply from the 1. april and until the end of may.

– I know that several have approached, because they sit stranded in a holiday home abroad, even if there is a car in the garage, says the general, rasmussen, Morten Bødskov (S).

In these extraordinary times, they must of course be able to use their foreign car to come home in Denmark – just as we have invited them, he says in a press release.

Motorstyrelsen informs that it has received inquiries from a “larger number” of danes who are abroad and have no other options to run the home than their foreign car.

Before you sit behind the wheel and driving home to Denmark, you must inform the Motorstyrelsen about the day you cross the border.

It is only allowed to drive the car from the address in abroad and home to his place of residence in Denmark. You must therefore not run around in Denmark in the car. The foreign car must also out of the country again no later than 31. december.
