How to get a Taxi in Copenhagen
There are plenty of taxis in Copenhagen. They come in many colours, and are usually quite large and comfortable. They can be flagged on the street or taken from ranks at various points around the city centre.
If the yellow taxi sign is lit, the taxi is available for hire. Free taxis also display the word FRI. Stands can be found outside hotels, and major tourist spots such as the Rosenborg Castle, National museum of Denmark, on Vestergade (where DIS is located), by Gammel Torv (The Old Square) and by Hovedbanegård, Copenhagen’s Central Train Station.
If you’d prefer waiting inside during cold months, you can book a taxi by phone or use a taxi app. Two of the main companies are DanTaxi and Taxa 4×35.

Safety and Complaints for Copenhagen Taxis
It’s not common for taxi drivers in Copenhagen to try and take more money from their customers as they are generally reliable. However, if you believe this has happened to you, you should write down the taxi number and driver’s unique ID number (this should always be on display in the taxi) and ask for your receipt. You can then call the company that you travelled with or head to the Local Police and make a report.
