Taxi companies are short of drivers, not of passengers.

Danish taxi companies are hiring across the country, and they will take on people who are new to the trade. The only thing standing between most candidates and a seat behind the wheel is knowing which card, course and paperwork they actually need.

Driver

The kinds of taxi work we place people in

Tell us which of these fits your week and we will match you with companies that run it.

01City driving
Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg

City driving

Ordinary street and app-dispatched work in the city: short runs, regular passengers and the busiest hours in the evening and at the weekend. This is where most new drivers start, because the routes are short and dispatch keeps you busy from the first shift.

  • App & phone dispatch
  • Evening & weekend peaks
  • Good for beginners

02Airport and station transfers
Fixed pickups, longer runs

Airport and station transfers

Pre-booked pickups to and from Copenhagen Airport, Billund and the larger stations. Longer trips, calmer driving and passengers who have booked ahead, so your day is planned rather than improvised.

  • Pre-booked trips
  • Longer distances
  • Planned shifts

03Business and account driving
Companies, hotels, clinics

Business and account driving

Regular runs for companies, hotels and clinics that have an account with the taxi company. Repeat passengers, predictable hours and a calmer pace than street work. Conversational Danish matters most in these roles.

  • Repeat customers
  • Predictable hours
  • Danish an advantage

04Flex and patient transport
Municipal and healthcare contracts

Flex and patient transport

Driving for municipal flex-traffic and patient transport contracts: school runs, hospital appointments and passengers who need a hand getting in and out. Steady daytime work, often on a fixed weekly schedule.

  • Daytime hours
  • Fixed weekly schedule
  • Extra training provided

How to become a taxi driver in Denmark

1

Check that you qualify

You need a category B driving licence that you have held for at least three years, and a clean enough record for Færdselsstyrelsen to issue a driver card. Send us your details and we will tell you where you stand.

2

Take the taxi driver course

An approved course covers passenger transport, customer service, tachograph and route knowledge. We point you to providers near you and explain what the course involves before you sign up.

3

Get your chaufførkort

With the course certificate, a medical certificate and a criminal record check, you apply to Færdselsstyrelsen for the taxi driver card (chaufførkort). We tell you exactly which documents to gather.

4

Meet a taxi company

We introduce you to companies hiring in your city, prepare you for the interview and help with the contract, shift plan and pay agreement.

5

Start driving

You get shown the dispatch system and the local routes, and your coordinator stays reachable long after your first shift.

Taxi jobs city by city

Taxi companies hire on very local terms: shifts, base and pay differ between Copenhagen and Aalborg. Tell us your city when you apply and we match you with companies that run cars near you.

Requirements for the driver card are set by Færdselsstyrelsen and can change. We check your specific situation with you before you commit to a course.

Frequently asked questions

How do I become a taxi driver in Denmark?

You need a category B driving licence held for at least three years, an approved taxi driver course, a medical certificate and a criminal record check. With those you apply to Færdselsstyrelsen for a chaufførkort, the taxi driver card. We guide you through the order to do it in and introduce you to a company that is hiring.

Can I get a taxi job without experience?

Yes. Most of the companies we work with take on drivers who are new to the trade, as long as you have the driver card and a licence you have held long enough. City dispatch work is where most new drivers start.

What is a chaufførkort and do I need one?

The chaufførkort is the taxi driver card issued by Færdselsstyrelsen, and yes, you need it to drive a taxi in Denmark. It is issued once you have completed an approved course and submitted your medical certificate and record check.

Do I need to speak Danish to drive taxi?

Conversational Danish helps a lot, especially for business accounts and flex traffic, because you talk to passengers and dispatch all day. Some city and airport work is possible with strong English. Tell us what you speak and we match accordingly.

What does a taxi driver earn in Denmark?

Pay is usually a share of the fares driven or an hourly rate under the company's agreement, and it varies by city, shift and how busy the base is. We tell you the specific terms of each company before you meet them.

Which cities do you have taxi jobs in?

We work with taxi companies in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg, Esbjerg, Randers, Kolding, Horsens, Vejle, Roskilde, Herning and Helsingør, and we can often help elsewhere in the country too.

Can I drive taxi part time or only at weekends?

Yes. Many companies specifically need drivers for evenings, nights and weekend peaks, which is why taxi work suits people combining it with studies or another job.

Does it cost anything to apply through you?

No. Applying through DriverJobs.dk is free for candidates. The taxi companies pay us. You may pay for the course and the driver card yourself, which is why we check what you need before you spend anything.
