Billund Airport is located roughly in the middle of the Jutland peninsula and is therefore one of the main starting points for travel around Denmark.
This is also why buses from many cities in the surrounding area come to the terminal.
Buses
There is no railway to the Billund Airport terminal, so you can only use bus routes.
To view all timetables and find connections throughout Denmark, visit rejseplanen.dk.
Tickets for all connections throughout Denmark can be purchased via the Rejsebillet mobile app or by card from the driver. There is a ticket machine outside the terminal where you can also buy tickets (for all routes except route 912X)
You can also buy a Rejsekort discount card at the machine for 80 dkk, which will make travel cheaper. For the Rejsekort discount card to be worthwhile, you would need to use the bus at least 6-8 times during your stay (depending on the length of the route).
Almost all buses to Billund Airport are operated by local carrier Sydtrafik. The exception is the 912X line, which is operated by Midtrafik.

Car rental
Explore the Danish countryside without the hassle and rent a car directly at Billund Airport.
There are many international rental companies operating in the arrivals hall, and even with a lot of competition, the prices are relatively low for Danish ones.
For a 4-day car rental in Billund you will pay approximately 130 eur.
Taxi
There are no Bolt or Uber mobile apps operating in the area, but there are always plenty of classic taxis waiting outside the terminal.
Due to the high prices, it is perhaps only worth using a taxi to nearby Legoland (about 7 minutes away), where you will pay around 100 dkk.
