Traveling with your dog or cat on ÖBB trains is straightforward, adhering to a few conditions to ensure a smooth journey across Austrian railways. Here's what you need to know:
- Small and harmless animals: can be transported for free in appropriate transport containers, making ÖBB a pet-friendly choice for your travel needs within Austria.
- Dogs that do not fit in a cage/container: For larger pets, a pet fare is required. This can easily be arranged by contacting us through the contact form, ensuring your furry friend can join you on your journey across Austrian railways.
- Assistance dogs with a disability certificate: can travel for free on the train, highlighting ÖBB's commitment to accessibility and convenience for all travelers.
Special note for ÖBB Nightjet passengers: You can only bring your dog on board if you reserve an entire compartment. This policy ensures the comfort and safety of all passengers and pets on Austrian trains during overnight journeys.
On the train, payment for your dog's ticket can be made easily. Assistance dogs, which offer invaluable support to their owners, travel for free and are not required to be muzzled. For all journeys within Austria on ÖBB, fare conditions apply, ensuring clarity and ease for your travel plans.
