Flixbus: This is how taking your bike works

At Flixbus you can also take your bike with you on many routes. In this article we show you what this costs and what special features you need to consider.

Taking a bike on the Flixbus: What should I watch out for?

Flixbus has equipped most of its fleet with bike racks that can hold up to five bicycles. If you want to take your bike with you, you must book this in advance.

• Taking a bike costs 9 euros per one way. With connecting connections, you have to pay the price accordingly several times. However, Flixbus does not carry e-bikes (although Flixbus now relies on e-buses).
• Not all buses are equipped with a bike rack. If it is not possible to take a bicycle with you, you will be informed of this in the booking process.
• To book a connection with a bicycle, simply enter the bicycle in the search mask like another passenger (see picture). Here you choose how many adults, children and bicycles are to be carried on the journey.
• In the winter months from November to February, bicycle transport is only possible in a few cases. If you cannot find a suitable connection, you can alternatively take your bike with you as special luggage. This also costs 9 euros per one-way trip, but must be registered separately beforehand. You do this after booking and up to 48 hours before departure by phone at Flixbus customer service. Important : If your bike is transported as special luggage in the cargo hold of the bus, you must pack it in a suitable transport bag (for folding bikes / for normal bicycles).
• In general, you should plan a little more time if you want to transport your bike with the Flixbus. You should be at the bus stop at least 15 minutes before departure so that there are no delays. If you have booked a place on the bike rack, you do not have to remove or convert anything on the bike. It is simply placed on the carrier and fastened.
• Tip : You can always find current vouchers for Flixbus on our voucher portal. You can save money on many routes.
