 +
BroBizz works on both major bridges and provides discounts. ØresundGO is specific to the Øresund Bridge but offers maximum savings.

 +
Maximum 13% discount with BroBizz/automatic payment (EU regulation). ØresundGO offers larger absolute savings on Øresund Bridge.
 +
 
 +
=== What happens if I don't pay the bridge toll? ===

You'll receive an invoice by mail plus a 600 DKK fine. License plate recognition makes avoiding payment nearly impossible.
 +
 
 +
=== Are there any toll roads planned for Denmark? ===
 +
No toll roads are planned for passenger cars. Denmark maintains free motorway policy, with tolls only for major infrastructure projects like bridges.
 +
 
 +

 +
* '''Assuming all Scandinavian countries have similar tolls''' - Denmark is unique with free motorways
 +
* '''Not preparing payment for bridges''' - Have cash/cards ready or set up electronic payment
 +
