Hellsingsor to Hellingborg ferry
 
Just wondering if u can still buy a ferry ride with a car..from Hellsingor to Hellsingborg? been to the scandlines site and cant seem to see it.

Yes you can buy a ferry ride with car from HELSINGOER to HELSINGBORG. You just drive up to the kiosk and buy the ticket, drive on board and the crossing takes 15mins. I do the trip regularly. The route is operated by Scandlines and HH Ferries.

I've looked on scandlines site and the option to travel from Hellsingor to hellsingborg is not available that I can find.. https://www.scandlines.com/
Unless u buy a multi pass rostock-gedser-Hellsingor - hellsingborg
You said you do it all the time. Have u done it recently and how much is it with a car?
cheers

..also do u book at the kiosk and not online in advance? Maybe that's why I'm not seeing the option on the scandlines english site?

Yes I have done it recently, it costs about $110 return for a weekend return ticket which is what I normally buy. But if you are buying singles or staying more than a weekend it might cost more.
There is nothing to book because the ferry goes every 15 mins during peak time and every half an hour off peak. There is a manned kiosk to the far left, the other kiosks are self service. During peak times, there can be long lines waiting to get on the ferry and sometimes you have to wait for the next available one.
The only time I prepurchase a ticket online is if I am driving from Germany to Sweden, then I purchase the combined ticket Puttgarden to Rødby + Helsingør-Helsinborg as it is less expensive.
