With the UEX car train, you can travel over 1000 kilometers in your sleep without any stress – no traffic jams, no breaks, no weather influences. Your vehicle travels comfortably with you, remains protected and is directly available to you at your destination.
Comfort & flexibility
You travel in couchette and sleeper coaches from our own Train4you fleet – comfortable, climate-friendly and with plenty of freedom of movement. No luggage limits, no lugging around suitcases: your luggage simply stays in the vehicle. The UEX car trains are an offer for everyone. Of course, we also offer seats for passengers without a vehicle. Here there is the attractive option of starting the journey at one of our intermediate stops.
Ideal for families & groups
Only one person per vehicle needs to be present at check-in – fellow passengers can board flexibly at intermediate stops. The journey flies by in the child-friendly couchette coach with its own table. You can also play (cards) here, which makes the long journey more entertaining for the children and calmer for you. If you have a concern while driving – no problem. Our friendly service staff will be happy to assist you.
Sustainable & safe
The train is one of the safest and most environmentally friendly means of transportation. With us, you not only travel in a relaxed manner, but also with a clear conscience – because every train journey saves a significant amount of CO₂ compared to a car or plane. Whether it’s summer heat, heavy rain, thunderstorms or a sudden onset of winter: our trains will get you to your destination reliably, regardless of the weather. Thanks to our fixed timetables, you can plan your arrival and departure precisely – without unforeseeable delays due to traffic jams, roadworks or traffic conditions. Safety, punctuality and climate protection go hand in hand with us
Save costs
Two hotel nights less, no toll, fuel or rental car costs. Your vehicle is protected and has no material wear. You have your own vehicle on site, are flexible and save costs for a rental car.
