Do wheelchair users need a seat ticket on DSB InterCity trains?

Reserving a wheelchair space.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

On DSB InterCity and InterCityLyn trains in Denmark you must always reserve a wheelchair space with a Kørestolspladsbillet. As of November 2026 it costs 0 kr when you book it on 70 13 14 19 at least 12 hours before departure. The spaces are in the flex area of the train, and each train has only a limited number. Wheelchair users on regional trains and S-trains do not need this ticket.

Why

  1. Spaces not claimed 12 hours before can go to bikes and prams.
  2. The ticket is valid only for the chosen day, time and space.
  3. You must take the space right after departure, or it can be given to others.

Details

A person with a disability or their companion can travel at a discount equal to half an adult fare with the companion scheme.

Tip

Book the wheelchair space and Handicapservice in the same call, since both use 70 13 14 19.

What may differ

The number of wheelchair spaces differs between trains, so book early on busy days.

Common misconception

Wheelchair users need a reservation on every Danish train.

What actually happens

The reservation is required only on InterCity and InterCityLyn, not on regional trains and S-trains.
