A lot of cars with Belgian or Dutch license plates so might be easier to go there. I was trying to go towards Trier and got a ride from an Irish guy on British license plates who said he would take me there but when we started riding he said some story about being robbed and asked if I could take out money with my card for him and that he would transfer me the money, after I showed him I had just 20€ on my account he left me at central station in Luxembourg City and said he'll go to the bank and come back later. Waited half an hour, he never came back so I decided to move on.―Anonymous

Waited with a sign for Lyon and after 5 minutes a truck driver stopped and took me as far as Luxembourg even letting me sleep on the bunk bed in the cab.―Anonymous

Great spot with loads of traffic. If you're getting here via Berchem station and want to cross the bridge, don't trust google maps. Had to take the long way to the gas station.Luckily didn't take too long to get a ride. Legend drove me all the way to Chambéry

I waited there around 12h because I was looking for only cars going far away (near Lyon). Many people offer us (me & my friend) to bring us 100 or 200 km in the south.Good tip : ask for trucks (trucks are forbidden every Sundays in France)

I took the train till Berchem station from Luxemburg central, then walked for 20min till the Service Area, you need to go round it till almost the end where you will see an open gate for trucks and you can enter through it. After that, I waited at the exit from the parking lot, behind the store, for 10 min and got a ride to Dijon. Lots of cars on Sunday morning!―Anonymous

Depending on where you go, it's definitely a good spot. If you are planning to go back to direction Saarbrücken coming from Luxembourg, it is a hard spot if you wanna find a direct hitch.We then decided to take the route via Metz to SB. To Metz/Nancy/Thionville it's easy to find cars.

Really good place. In 15 min 3 cars stopped. One was going to Germany, second to Strasbourg and the third one to Paris which we took. There were other guys which were taken in 15 min as well. Good luck ;)―Laurynas.notreal

Took me 30 minutes asking at the petrol station to find a direct ride to Lyon on a sunday. The station is so big that sometimes I didn't have time to ask all the people stopping.―Anonymous

Really good spot, got a hitch in like 15-20min to Dijon.Especially in summer you have a lot of cars, however most of them with families so it might be much more difficult if you hitch-hike with 2 or more people

loads of traffic (mostly short distances so have a sign)..very popular spot with a big fence around. however you can get in from the staffs' parking lot (no need to cut the fence like we saw some hitchhikers had done)―Anonymous

If you stand with a sign, this station is perfect. A lot of the cars will pass you twice, with give them plenty of time to consider picking you up.It is worth waiting for a ride to go south/east of Metz at least!
