Do you need a bike reservation on InterCity trains in Denmark?

A seat ticket gives a sure place.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes: on DSB InterCity and InterCityLyn trains a bike, or a scooter larger than normal luggage, needs a bike seat ticket, which costs 20 kr. as of November 2026. You buy it in the DSB app, and the ticket shows the carriage and the place number for the bike. The seat ticket is what guarantees a place, since bikes without one are not taken on these trains. The bike seat ticket comes on top of your own ticket.
