CarTrain Packages

Travel on night trains in a seat or in a sleeping compartment in a one, two or three person compartment. Some night trains have car-carrier wagons so you can transport your car with the inexpensive CarTrain package.

The updated CarTrain package includes the travel ticket and a sleeping berth for 1-6 persons and car transport. In addition, you can book a compartment for yourself or your group. CarTrain package prices vary according to the travel date. You can book a CarTrain package also online in VR's Online Shop.

Please note! When your train departs please wait for the conductor to arrive in your sleeping compartment. This way you ensure that the reservation remains valid.
