Combination ticket: paying the toll with your ferry ticket
If you are travelling from Germany, you do not have to pay the toll separately. Scandlines sells the Øresund Bridge as a combination ticket together with its own ferry crossing - either Puttgarden to Rødby (45 minutes) or Rostock to Gedser (around 2 hours). The bridge voucher is then part of your ferry ticket, and you pay nothing more at the toll station.
One thing to plan around: Scandlines does not sell a bridge-only ticket. If you arrive without the ferry - across the Great Belt or from Copenhagen - you buy the toll directly from the bridge operator: through ØresundGO, the online ticket or at the toll station.
What the combination tickets cost
The "from" prices below come from the Scandlines ticket overview, per single crossing for a car up to 6 metres including up to nine passengers. The ferry-only crossing is shown alongside for comparison - the difference is what the bridge adds to the combination ticket.
| Ticket from Puttgarden - Rødby | Online from | Bridge included |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (ferry only) | €61.10 | no |
| Standard + Øresund Bridge | €101.25 | yes |
| Flex + Øresund Bridge | €166 | yes |
| Motorcycle + Øresund Bridge | €48 | yes |
On those figures the bridge accounts for roughly €40 in the Standard combination ticket, while the online ticket from the bridge operator costs DKK 465. The combined price rises with the season: Scandlines quotes online "from" prices for the Standard combination ticket of €102 in the low season, €106.50 in the shoulder season, €126.75 in the high season and €128.25 in the summer season. Cars over 6 metres pay a length surcharge from €30 for every additional two metres or part thereof, and tickets bought at the port cost considerably more again.
How to book the combination ticket
In the Scandlines booking window you first pick the ferry route - Puttgarden - Rødby or Rostock - Gedser - and then, among the fares, the one with the addition "+ Øresund Bridge". Standard guarantees you a place on the sailing you booked and is also valid for any sailing with space on the same day; Flex is valid from purchase until 90 days after the sailing you booked and can be rebooked free of charge. You can book online up to two hours before departure.
At the bridge, a combination ticket takes you into the green lane so that your number plate can be read. If you have not registered a number plate, use the blue lane and scan the iTicket number from your booking confirmation. If there is a Bizz in the car, put it in its shielding pouch first, otherwise it will be charged as well. All four combinations - both ferry routes, with the bridge or with the Helsingør - Helsingborg ferry as the second leg - are set out on the Sweden ticket page.
Alternatives to the Øresund Bridge
The Øresund Bridge is not the only way to drive into Sweden. The short alternative is the Helsingør - Helsingborg ferry. Travelling from Germany, Puttgarden - Rødby plus the Øresund Bridge and Rostock - Gedser plus the Øresund Bridge combine ferry and road; further options are listed under ferries to Sweden.
Øresund Bridge
Driving across the Øresund to Sweden
The Øresund link has connected Copenhagen and Malmö since 2000, over a distance of 15.9 kilometres. It is made up of roughly 4 kilometres of tunnel, the artificial island of Peberholm and the 7.8-kilometre road and rail bridge.
The crossing is tolled. You can choose between ØresundGO, an online ticket and paying at the toll station; the price depends on your vehicle length and the type of ticket. As a short alternative, the Helsingør - Helsingborg ferry crosses further north.

Where and how do I pay the toll? +

Can I combine the bridge and the ferry? +
Yes - and in fact that is the only way to buy it. Scandlines sells the Øresund Bridge exclusively together with its own ferry crossing; there is no separate bridge-only ticket from Scandlines. If you are travelling from Germany on Puttgarden - Rødby or Rostock - Gedser, choose the fare with the addition "+ Øresund Bridge" in the booking window. The bridge voucher is then part of your ferry ticket and you pay nothing more at the toll station. All four combinations are explained on the Sweden ticket page.
How do I use the combination ticket at the Øresund Bridge? +
At the bridge, a combination ticket takes you into the green lane, where your number plate is read. If you did not enter a number plate when booking, use the blue lane and scan the iTicket number from your booking confirmation. If there is a Bizz in the car, put it in its shielding pouch first, otherwise it will be charged as well. You will find the available fares on the Sweden ticket page.
What are the alternatives to the Øresund Bridge? +
Instead of the bridge, you can also reach Sweden by ferry. The shortest crossing is Helsingør - Helsingborg, around 20 minutes across the Øresund. Further sailings from Germany leave from Kiel, Travemünde and Rostock. You will find an overview of all routes on the home page.
Travelling to Denmark by ferry?
Then the bridge toll is already part of your ferry ticket - just pick the fare with "+ Øresund Bridge" in the booking window.
