Are you traveling by car or motorcycle on the car-carrying train? Check-in for the Urlaubs-Express takes place at our UEX terminals in Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Munich, Lörrach, or Villach. While your vehicle is being loaded, you may already board the train, depending on your connection.
Check-in: When do I need to be at the terminal?
Check-in begins about 120 minutes before departure. At many loading stations, you can board your sleeper car or couchette car while the train is still being loaded.
