The main catch at Billund Airport is strict card rules, with 6 of the 7 desks refusing debit cards entirely for the security deposit. Only Sixt considers a debit card, and then only for selected models, so arriving without a credit card in the lead driver's name will leave you stranded at the terminal. All desks are on-site, though lines vary from 6 minutes at Enterprise to 28 minutes at Sixt. When you leave the airport onto Danish roads, remember that town cyclists have right of way, so check your mirrors before every right turn.
