The Reservation Service is currently offered in English and in Spanish.

Please note: If you make a reservation with us, you can only travel with the official reservation ticket sent to your shipping address - just make sure someone's available to sign for your package when it arrives. E-ticket reservations can either be printed or shown on a mobile device. It's not possible to travel with your invoice or to pick up your reservations at the train station. Make train reservations well in advance to allow enough time for shipping.

Reservation Service costs

The cost of a train reservation consists of two different fees:

1. The booking fee. This is 8 euros per train, no matter how many seats you book on that train. For Italian e-ticket reservations, it's only 4 euros per train.
2. The train reservation fee. Prices vary considerably, depending on the train. .

Example: These are the costs for a 1st class reservation for 2 travelers on the Thalys high-speed train from Paris to Amsterdam: 8 euros booking fee + 2 x 35 euros train reservation fee = 78 euros.
