Pintrip 2023 – EXPERIENCE DENMARK

Yes, there will be changes. For instance, opening hours, facilities and contact telephone number may change and there may be personal reasons why a host may have to stop before the season ends on 31.03. The Pintrip app is always updated with the latest changes, and if you only use the physical travel guide, it is your own responsibility to stay up to date with this page.

It´s polite to say a simple hallo and goodbye to the host. It´s also central to the original principles of the scheme, when it began in France more than 25 years ago. The purpose of Pintrip is to bring visitors together with locals who are passionate about their place and their products. Moreover, you have to greet the hosts in order to show them your membership card, so they can see that you have a valid membership.

Yes, the vast majority of our hosts are open all year round. Please note, however, that some hosts ask that you arrive on a specific time, in accordance with their personal or professional constraints (milking the cows, work in the fields, etc.). For the same reasons a number of hosts are closed at certain periods of the year (grape-picking, harvest, holiday, etc.). At the top of each host page you can see when that host do not receive visits.

No, you are under no obligation to buy the host´s products. If you buy something it’s obviously fantastic, but if you don’t buy anything, it’s also okay. It’s a free overnight stay, so you owe nothing to your host. However, we know that many choose to support and show interests in the places they visit by buying the host’s products, which is a nice way to say thank you for a wonderful experience and a safe, free overnight stay. But once again, you are under no obligation to buy anything from the host. 

The hosts are not camp sites, and although they are keen to invite guests inside to learn about their business and their products. Please be considerate of the everyday work of your hosts. Those hosts who require a phone call in advance are clearly marked on each host page. 

Yes, but there are some hosts who cannot offer large vehicles a parking pitch. Most often it is because it will be problematic to maneuver a large vehicle at the host. It is clearly stated in the Pintrip Guide on the individual host pages if vehicles over 10 m are welcome. If your motorhome is under 10 m, you are welcome at all our hosts. In the 2023 season, approx. 230 hosts welcome motorhomes over 10 m. If you drive a caravan, you have to look for the caravan icon, even if the host accepts vehicles over 10 m.

Pintrip is best used with a self-sufficient vehicle, and previously Pintrip was exclusively for motorhomes, but in 2023 both rooftop tents and caravans are welcome at some of the Pintrip hosts. Tents of any kind (including pop-up tents and caravan awning tents) are not permitted. If you travel without a toilet, you can only stay overnight with hosts who have access to toilet facilities around the clock (marked with a WC icon).

Every single Pintrip membership helps us maintain and develop the Pintrip concept. In addition, the Pintrip membership is personal and it is tied to person and vehicle, and therefore it cannot be transferred. Our income comes solely from the sale of the Pintrip Guide. Thus, your membership helps us to find new hosts, it helps us to write and publish the Pintrip Guide, and it helps us to develop the Pintrip App and website. In addition, your membership also helps ensure that we can offer you unique experiences and a safe place to spend the night in your vehicle. All of our hosts are committed to welcoming Pintrippers for one year. The current Pintrip Guide is the only one that can give you the latest information and instructions (arrival time, closing days, etc.) because it is up to date. The rules are also in place to protect the hosts who are no longer part of the Pintrip Guide, so they no longer receive visits. That’s why you cannot use last year’s Pintrip Guide this year or give it to a friend.

No, the concept of Pintrip is that we offer visitors to stay one night at each host. This gives you enough time to get to know the place and the host, and it also give other travellers the opportunity to the enjoy these places. 

Please do not expect anything in advance. Nevertheless, several hosts offer different facilities, such as electricity, water, toilet and shower facilities. Keep in mind that they often charged a small fee for these facilities. Please always ask before using any facilities, because there might be rules that you have to follow. 

The season always runs from the 31st of March to the 31st of March the following year, and the vignette and membership card is also valid during this period. All the information about the hosts is updated once a year. Please always travel with the latest edition of Pintrip. You are not only supporting the idea of Pintrip, but it also ensures that certain problems can be avoided, for example that you don’t visit a host, who no longer is a Pintrip host. Your Pintrip membership is personal and it is tied to person and vehicle, and it cannot be transferred.

Yes, you can use Pintrip if you rent a vehicle because membership is personal and tied to the person and motorhome. If you rent several vehicles throughout the season, you need a new vignette and a new membership card each time you change vehicles. We will be happy to send it to you against a handling fee of 100 DKK and information about your address. For this, we need a photo of the rental contract from the first and second rental car, a photo of the vignette har you have removed from the windscreen, and a photo of the membership card that you wish to cancel.

Until the end of season 2022, the Pintrip app was a digital supplement to the Pintrip Guide. In future when you buy a physical membership, you will still be sent a membership card with a printed membership number, which works for the Pintrip app. The membership number is unique and allows you to download the Pintrip app on 2 devices.

From season 2023, it is possible to buy a digital membership for 399 DKK. In this case the membership card is digital and the membership number is unique and allows you to download the Pintrip app on 2 devices.

Yes. Like the annual windscreen sticker and membership card, the app is valid from the 31st of March to the 31st of March following year. At the end of the season, you can renew access to the app by purchasing the new Pintrip Guide.

No. The app is only a supplement to the physical book, and you will need both the windscreen sticker and the membership card. When you buy a Pintrip Guide the windscreen sticker and the membership card are included, and you need both in order to use to app. It is not possible to purchase the app alone.

Yes, Pintrip app also works offline. But it requires an internet connection when you have to activate the membership and install updates.

We update the app regularly to improve and optimize the user experience. Therefore, it is important that you always install new updates.

Yes, we are constantly developing the app, especially before a new season.
