We recommend using the train as it is the most popular way to get from Copenhagen to Salzburg among Omio's users.
Take the train. It's meaningfully faster than driving, and the time saved usually justifies the price.

You'll arrive about 16m sooner (13h 20m by train vs 13h 36m by car). Tickets start at around DKK 937 compared to roughly DKK 706 in fuel and tolls — so you're paying a bit more, but getting hours of your day back, a city-centre arrival, and the freedom to work or relax instead of drive.

Driving makes more sense if you're travelling as a group (where fuel costs split several ways), want to stop along the way, or need a car once you arrive.
