    Can you take a tall car or SUV on the VR car-carrier train to Kemijärvi?

    Vehicle spaces on the Kemijärvi trains.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    VR says each car-carrier wagon on the Kemijärvi trains has five vehicle spaces. The upper deck has two spaces for taller vehicles, and the lower deck has three spaces for lower vehicles. You can check the maximum vehicle height for each space in VR's booking channels. VR opened bookings for car spaces on Kemijärvi trains for travel between 13 December 2026 and 27 April 2027 on 7 July 2026, and higher vehicle spaces became available at the same time. The opening was delayed because the weight limits of the wagons required changes to the sales channels.

    Why

    1. Five vehicle spaces per wagon.
    2. Two upper-deck spaces for taller vehicles.
    3. Maximum heights are shown when booking.

    Details

    VR says car spaces on night trains start from 49 euros for summer and autumn 2027.

    Tip

    Book a tall vehicle early, because there are only two upper-deck spaces per wagon.

    What may differ

    VR says the opening of car space sales was delayed because of the wagons' weight limits.

    Common misconception

    Any car fits on the car-carrier train.

    What actually happens

    Each space has a maximum height, and taller cars need an upper-deck space.
