Buying a car in Denmark can be a great way to get around, but there are some essential things to consider before taking the plunge. First, you should research the different types of cars available and decide which one best suits your needs. You’ll also want to ensure you have a valid driver’s license and insurance before buying a car. The article looks into some of these things you should consider before purchasing a car in Denmark in great detail.

The financing options available

One of Denmark’s most popular car financing options is taking out a loan from a bank or other financial institution. It will require you to make regular payments over an agreed period until the loan has been paid off in full. If you have several other small loans with the car loan, you can get a samlelån. A samlelån is a consolidated loan that combines all the small loans into one large pool. Another popular car financing option is leasing which allows you to pay for the use of a car over a set period. This option is often more affordable than buying outright and can be tailored to suit your budget. Finally, if you have sufficient funds, you can buy the car outright with cash or by using your savings.

The taxes and associated fees

There are special taxes and fees associated with purchasing a car in Denmark. The most common fee is the registration tax, based on the vehicle’s value and age. This tax can range from 10-180% of the vehicle’s value. Additionally, an annual road tax must be paid for all vehicles registered in Denmark. This tax is based on engine size and fuel type, ranging from DKK 1,000 to DKK 4,500 per year. There may also be additional taxes or fees depending on the type of car you purchase and where it was purchased from.

Finding the best dealerships

When planning to buy a car in Denmark, looking for the best dealerships is important. Start by checking out online reviews from customers who have purchased vehicles from different dealerships. It will give you an idea of the best customer service and prices. It would help if you also looked into the dealership’s reputation with local authorities and consumer protection agencies. Ensure they are licensed, insured, and compliant with all applicable laws and regulations. Additionally, consider visiting several dealerships in person to better understand their services and offerings.

In conclusion, it is essential to research the prices of cars in Denmark, fees or taxes that may be involved, and car insurance and registration requirements to ensure a safe and legal purchase.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
