Normally, there is no road pricing in Denmark but for two exceptions: The bridge across the Great Belt between Sealand and Funen and the bridge between Denmark and Sweden across Øresund. In both cases, a toll charge must be paid when crossing the bridges.

The Storebælt-connection connects the islands of Sealand and Funen by means of an 18-kilometre-long car bridge and train tunnel. This magnificent engineering feat, which includes the world's second-longest suspension bridge (6.6 km), has revolutionised the Danish infrastructure, reducing travelling times between the regions by one hour and indirectly creating a fixed link between the European continent and Copenhagen. The website of the Storebælt connection is storebaelt.dk from where the prices of crossing can be seen.
The Öresund-connection is 16 km in all. It is a combination of a tunnel beneath the sea, an artificial island (Peberholm) and a suspension bridge where cars and trains run in separate tracks. The toll station is situated on the Swedish side. You can pay by means of cash (manned stations), credit/pay cards (automatic stations) and credit token (automatic passage).
