Copenhagen packs a lot into a small area. Rosenborg Castle, the Botanical Garden and the National Gallery of Art all sit within about 0.6 km of the city centre, while Copenhagen Airport is about 9.6 km away and Parken is about 1.8 km out. For a group, that makes a private vehicle with a driver a practical way to link arrivals, venues and sightseeing in one plan.
Global Bus Hire provides coach and minibus hire in Copenhagen with professional drivers, from an 8 seater minibus for a small team to a 70 seater coach for a large party. Tell us your dates, numbers and stops, and we will send a tailored quote.

Coach, minibus and bus hire for groups in Copenhagen
Every booking is private and built around your itinerary. Airport transfers, wedding transport, corporate shuttles, event days, sports trips, and school and university visits can all be covered, whether you need a single journey or several days of travel.
Airport transfers are a natural fit: Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is about 9.6 km from the centre, and Roskilde Airport (RKE) is about 30 km away. Groups flying into Malmö Airport (MMX), about 53 km away, or Ängelholm-Helsingborg Airport (AGH), about 70 km away, can ask about cross-border transfers when requesting a quote.
For weddings, a coach or minibus keeps guests together between ceremony, photographs and reception. Corporate clients can use vehicles for conference shuttles, team outings and visiting delegations, while schools and universities can plan museum visits and field trips with one vehicle carrying the whole group. Booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance is recommended, and our 24/7 customer support stays available during your trip.
Vehicles to suit your group size
The range runs from 8 and 16 seater minibuses through 25 seater midi coaches and 29 and 33 seater coaches, up to 49, 57 and 70 seater coaches. Double deckers are also available, and executive and luxury coaches can be requested for corporate guests or wedding parties.
Smaller vehicles suit tighter city-centre pick-ups around places such as Nørreport and Kongens Nytorv, while full-size coaches make sense for large conference groups or supporters heading to Royal Arena. If you are unsure which size fits, share your passenger numbers and luggage needs and we will suggest options in your quote.
Use the table below to compare seating capacity across the fleet. Allow room for luggage on airport runs, and let us know about any bulky items when you ask for a quote.

Getting around Copenhagen by coach and minibus
Central Copenhagen is well served by stations such as Nørreport (about 0.4 km from the centre), Rådhuspladsen, Kongens Nytorv, Gammel Strand, Forum and Østerport, all around 1.1–1.2 km away. These can work as convenient meeting points for groups arriving by train before boarding a private vehicle.
The historic core is close at hand: Rosenborg Castle and Kongernes Samling Rosenborg are about 0.5 km away, Christiansborg Palace about 1.4 km, and Amalienborg and Christian den VIII's Palæ about 1.5 km. Riises Landsted lies about 2.7 km out. Museums including the Danish Natural History Museum, the Worker's Museum, the Botanical Museum and the Hirschsprung Collection make a strong day for school groups.
Sports and concert trips can take in Parken (about 1.8 km), Østerbro Stadion (about 2.0 km), Vanløse Stadion, Royal Arena, Gladsaxe Stadion and Pro Ventilation Arena Hvidovre, all within about 8.2 km. University groups visiting Københavns Universitet – Center for Sundhed og Samfund, about 0.1 km from the centre, can arrange pick-ups close to campus. Copenhagen Bus Terminal and Port Copenhague, both around 2.3–2.5 km away, are further reference points for group meet-ups.
Planning rules worth knowing before you book
Coach drivers in Denmark follow EU driving-time rules. A driver can normally drive up to 9 hours a day, extended to 10 hours no more than twice a week. After 4.5 hours behind the wheel, breaks totalling at least 45 minutes are required, although a 2024 amendment allows some flexibility in arranging breaks and rest on occasional coach trips. Drivers also need a regular daily rest of at least 11 hours, which can be reduced to 9 hours a limited number of times. For long days, such as a cross-border transfer followed by evening events, these limits shape the schedule, so share your full timings when asking for a quote.
Copenhagen is inside one of Denmark's low emission zones. Older diesel buses over 3.5 tonnes may only enter if they have a particulate filter or meet at least Euro VI, and non-Danish diesel vehicles first registered before the current date limits must be registered with documentation no later than the day they enter the zone. If your trip starts outside Denmark, mention this when booking so suitable vehicles can be discussed.

Frequently asked questions
Can you provide transfers from Copenhagen Airport?
Yes. Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is about 9.6 km from the city centre, and we can quote for arrivals, departures or both. Share your flight details and passenger numbers for a tailored quote.
Can you collect our group from Malmö Airport or Roskilde Airport?
Transfers from Roskilde Airport (about 30 km away) and Malmö Airport (about 53 km away) can be discussed. Availability and arrangements depend on the booking, so please request a quote with your details.
What is the largest vehicle available for a Copenhagen trip?
Our largest coach seats 70 passengers, and double deckers are also available. For bigger groups, several vehicles can be combined; let us know your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do the low emission zone rules affect our booking?
Copenhagen is in a Danish low emission zone, so older diesel buses over 3.5 tonnes need a particulate filter or Euro VI standard to enter, and some non-Danish vehicles must be registered beforehand. Mention where your trip starts so suitable vehicles can be discussed in your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
We recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance, particularly for weddings, large events and multi-day trips.
Can we hire a coach for a long day trip with several stops?
Yes, but EU rules limit daily driving and require breaks and rest periods, so very long days may need adjusting. Share your full itinerary and we will advise in your quote.
Do you offer executive coaches for corporate groups?
Executive and luxury coaches are available. Tell us about your event and guests and we will include suitable options in your quote.
