KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Odense

  • When exploring Odense, car hire offers several advantages over alternative transport options.

Moreover, having a car allows you to easily venture beyond Odense to explore nearby destinations like the stunning Egeskov Castle or the charming town of Nyborg.

  • When you arrive at Odense Airport (ODE), getting a hired car is super convenient for exploring the city. You'll find the car hire offices right there in the main terminal building, so it's easy to pick up your car upon arrival.
