Firmly lashed-down luggage may be left in, on, against or next to vehicles during carriage at the driver’s own risk and liability (cf. “Accompanying luggage”).

Firmly mounted and well secured closed roof boxes, bicycle racks and ski racks (except magnetic ski racks) can be carried on all DB Autozug routes inside Germany.

Please consult the introductory page under this heading for details of what is prescribed for other dimensions and features.
