Good spot for local travelling. There is a red light were all drivers towards Gettorf/Eckernförde/Schleswig need to spot. Asked around with a sign and got many offers super quickly

I only tried for 15min but there was very little traffic on a wednesday 11:00 so I think the spot may not be the best.

The gas station is quite busy and almost everyone goes to madrid. You can find toilets, showers (broken atm) and a small shop with chargers. The prices are the usual. There is a small restaurant but not many people come to eat. Most stop for a quick pause as there is a small park nearby. Its as good as it gets for spain, many people are freaked out by hitchhiking but we managed to catch a ride to madrid within 30min.

There is a gas station + a restaurant there. Many cars come by, around 50% go to Valencia and 50% go to Madrid. You can ask drivers at the gas station or at the restaurant, we did both and found someone in the restaurant right away. A cute couple took us 1 hour closer to madrid. Tip: When you find a service station on their way, make sure it has many ratings (1000+) so you don't get stranded.

To go towards Madrid/Andalusia: You reach this spot by the public „metrobus“ 430A from Valencia. Its not the red city busses but the yellow metrobus. It starts from the main bus station but dont try to catch it there because noone knows where it departs. We caught it one spot down from there and it came by the time stated on google maps. Its like 3€. The spot itself is not great but okay. There are people going to Valencia or other local towns (many), some to Madrid and quite a few to Andalusia/Sevilla/Portugal. Many cars are full. We arrived at 20:00 and tried for 2 hours and got close to a lift to madrid multiple times. We went to sleep in a field nearby which was perfect. Next day it took us another 2 hours to go to another service station 1 1/2 hours towards spain. I don't know if we just got unlucky but I think its just spain. Many people are shocked when you ask them for a lift.

I was coming from Montpellier to Lyon and had the choice to be dropped here or at the big peage a few km towards Lyon. My destination was Germany. After 15min a german couple took me in their camper van! Maybe I was lucky but from what I see there are enough cars, toilets, possibilities for food so I would prefer this over the peage anytime again! You can ask german cars (or swiss etc) depending on your needs.

Great spot actually! You can go just before the peage, there are 2 lanes to Montpeillier/Toulouse and two to Barcelona/Girona. Your allowed to stand right before peage but not after. Cars go slow. I was picked up to Montpellier after 20min on a tuesday morning.

++ Many cars Excellent for Sleeping: we asked the workers and they allowed us to sleep in a upstairs area were it was warm and private. I even took some pillows from a sofa there. — Almost no cars going to Germany. Here is how to we got to Germany: walk along the highway for 5 minutes (direction luxembourg) and exit the highway onto the first bridge that comes up. From there walk left and you will reach a train station that will take you to luxembourg for free. From there use your Deutschlandticket for the train to Koblenz.

Sorry, the last positive review was meant for another spot, I mixed it up. This spot is quite bad, it took us 2 hours to go 30min towards reims (from where we reached reims quickly. All cars only go to paris or beglium/netherlands but those were all full. I recommend you leave one stop early to find another station.

We were dropped here at night (22:00) and managed to still catch a ride into the netherlands. Good spot there is a sitting area in front of the gas station were you can confidently sit with a sign and ask the drivers as they park right in front of you. I think we got lucky because the drivers felt sorry for us.

This spot has everything: many cars, lots of international traffic, a restaurant. BUT NOONE STOPS! We thought we would wait 15mins here but took us over 3 hours to get a 3 hour ride. Everybody is full and many people were unfriendly, even the ones from france. Maybe your luck will be better because objectively this spot seems good.

Not a bad spot to catch a ride towards france or the north in general. We were dropped here at night and slept in a field nearby - its easy to sleep in many places in the nearby industrial area. For the spot itself, there are not that many cars but still enough going to the north. I recommend. Asking around will as almost always be your best bet.

This is a great spot to go towards the balkans. It can be reached from Salzburg via Bus easily and you can sleep nearby. I think there is a fence but it has holes. All cars stopping there are going to the balkans especially during holiday season. Many full but I used this spot 2 times and it was always great!

Im the one who wrote the previous comment. Edit: we had no luck at total, actually I think this spot might be better to fes because some people take the highway from there. I give 5 stars to neutralize my previous rating, but you will need a sign there because not many cars stop at the station

There is a way better spot „total“ about 1km towards Fes. We had no luck there because there were almost only motorbikes stopping, so we decided to relocate to Total with a taxi for 20drh.
