🚐 Am I allowed to tow a trailer on an ordinary licence in Denmark?

With conditions

Quick answer

Yes — an ordinary B licence allows a trailer within certain permitted weights. You may tow a trailer of at most 750 kg always, or a heavier trailer if the car and trailer combined have a permitted total weight of at most 3,500 kg. To tow heavier, you can take B+ (code 96) up to 4,250 kg or BE for even heavier. The towing speed limit is 80 km/h on motorways and rural roads and 50 km/h in town — the old 70 limit was raised in 2020. With a Tempo 100 trailer you can go 100 km/h on the motorway. With a trailer a conditional loss of licence occurs already at 40% over the limit.

📋 The rules

B: trailer of at most 750 kg always
Heavier if car + trailer at most 3,500 kg combined
B+ (code 96): up to 4,250 kg
Towing speed limit: 80 km/h
Tempo 100 trailer: 100 km/h on motorway

🔓 Exceptions

A trailer of at most 750 kg may be towed even if the combination then exceeds 3,500 kg
A Tempo 100 trailer may go 100 km/h on the motorway
It is the permitted total weight, not the actual weight, that counts

⚠️ Penalties & fines

Towing a heavier trailer than the licence allows is driving without entitlement. Overloading brings 75 kr per percent over. With a trailer a conditional loss occurs already at 40% over the limit.
