LUGGAGE ALLOWANCE
Renfe baggage allowance policy states that each passenger can bring up to three pieces of luggage with them. These can include briefcases, purses, laptop bags, suitcases, trolley bags and cases. Spanish Railway’s baggage policy can be summarized as the following:
TRAVEL LIGHT
Carrying heavy baggage from train to train may be exhausting. That is why Renfe, in collaboration with Correos, offers door-to-door luggage service for tickets for AVE and Long Distance trains. With this service, you can ship up to 3 pieces of luggage, either suitcases or special luggage. In case you decide to book it, take into account that Renfe luggage restrictions will be different in this case:
The service must be requested up to 2 days before the train’s departure date. Renfe states that your luggage will be picked up from the indicated address from 4 to 1 days before departure and will be delivered to the destination in 1-3 days.
Do you have more suitcases, and Renfe luggage policy does not cover your needs? With Eurosender´s luggage service, you can ship more than 25 kg and have your belongings delivered in 1-3 days, no matter what train you travel!
OUR SERVICES
Conditions of transporting bikes with Renfe depend on the type of train.
LONG DISTANCE
Renfe baggage allowance policy states that on board AVE, Long Distance, Avant and Trenhotel trains folded or disassembled bikes are allowed, as long as they are stored inside a bag, and they are up to 180 cm. In this case, the bikes will be considered to be part of your baggage, and you will only be able to bring two more pieces of luggage. For certain trains, you may need to purchase a free bicycle ticket.
SHORT DISTANCE
For Mid-distance, Short-distance and Feve trains, the Renfe baggage allowance policy allows bringing fully assembled bicycles (one per person). On Mid-distance trains, you will need to pay an additional fee for trips of over 100 km. Unfolded bikes usually travel in a specific area, and thus the number of bicycles to be taken on each train is limited.
When travelling with Renfe, you can carry musical instruments and sports equipment as long as they meet established dimensions.
