What to know before your transfer at Copenhagen Roskilde Airport (RKE)
Tolls, charges, terminal pickup zones and local rules that affect your private transfer at Copenhagen Roskilde Airport (RKE).
Two terminals, one arrivals meet-point
Both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 feed into a shared forecourt. Your Transfeero driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit, holding a name sign, and collects you directly without surcharges.
E47 motorway, 40 km to city centre
The E47 connects RKE to Copenhagen in 35–50 minutes (normal traffic). Peak congestion runs 07:00–09:00 and 16:00–18:30 weekdays. Off-peak journeys are smooth and predictable.
All Danish emission-zone and toll charges included
RKE sits outside Copenhagen's low-emission zones, and the E47 route avoids toll roads. Your fixed Transfeero price covers all regulatory compliance with zero hidden charges.
Free 60-minute airport delay wait
If your flight lands late, your driver waits free for 60 minutes at arrivals. Real-time flight monitoring ensures the driver is always ready when you emerge.
Transfer insights for Copenhagen Roskilde Airport
Copenhagen Roskilde Airport operates two terminals: Terminal 1 handles Air Alsie, Atlantic Airways, and Jet Time; Terminal 2 serves British Airways, EasyJet, KLM, Norwegian Air Shuttle, SAS, and Sun-Air. After landing, you pass through passport control (EU/EEA and non-EU lanes), collect baggage, and exit into the arrivals hall, where your Transfeero driver meets you holding a name sign at the baggage-hall exit. Both terminals feed into a unified forecourt; pickup is free and straightforward with no additional airport charges.
The drive from RKE to Copenhagen city centre follows the E47 motorway, covering approximately 40 kilometres in normal conditions. Door-to-door journey time is typically 35–50 minutes depending on traffic. Peak congestion occurs between 07:00–09:00 and 16:00–18:30 on weekdays, particularly on the E47 approach into Copenhagen and around the Frederiksberg district. Outside these windows, the route flows smoothly and is straightforward for any experienced driver.
Denmark has low-emission zones in Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, and other major cities, but the E47 motorway from RKE to the capital lies outside these zones. All tolls, emission-zone registration, and local road charges are included in your fixed Transfeero price—there are no hidden costs, no surcharges, and no need to arrange permits yourself. Your driver manages compliance automatically.
Why skip the public options? Train departures run every 15 minutes but involve luggage handling and queueing during peak hours; taxis from the rank mean waiting in line with no upfront price certainty; buses are infrequent and slow. A pre-booked private transfer gives you a confirmed driver, direct routing, flight monitoring for free delays, and a child seat if needed—all for a transparent fixed price you know before you book.
