Which baggage items should I transport in the baggage car?

We recommend using the baggage car when you want to ensure that your baggage gets to your destination safely or if you do not want your sleeping compartment to be filled with baggage. For example, large suitcases, bikes (incl. specialty bikes, such as fatbikes), skiing equipment (skis, snowboard, etc.) and sledges are well suited for the baggage car. Prams can also be transported in the baggage car.

How much does the service cost?

The baggage service costs EUR 5 or EUR 10, depending on the size of the baggage. Prams and pushchairs are transported free of charge.

How do I pay for the service?

The baggage service is bought from the conductor. After you have paid for the service, you can leave your baggage with the transport company by showing your receipt.

• Prams can be transported for free on all trains in the designated space marked with a picture of a pram. Please fold up the pram for the duration of the journey if the train is full.

• Bikes can be transported on IC trains, regional trains and night trains (bicycle fee €5). Space is limited, so don’t forget to reserve your bicycle space in advance. More information on transporting a bike on a train.
