I started from 4pm. Only thumbs up. 5 car stopped. But also many busses stopped too. So it interrupted me. The traffic is sometimes slow. They were all kind but went to other direction, sorry I couldn't listen to the name. I was waiting for almost two hours.1 medium truck stopped and took me to the gas station in Luxembourg.

Apparently, it is used as a meeting point among local people. I used only thumbs up because not many people was on the parking area. Even the cars without 'TR' mark went to Trier. You can also ask people directly. Enough space to stop car.―Takuya

Easy to get here as many people are going to Trier but difficult to go any further (I think people are a little afraid of Police checks at the border in Germany), be careful where you get dropped off because I got desperate after waiting over 2 hours and took a ride to some random exit between Trier and Wittlich. Try at least to get to Wittlich, then Mayen and if you're lucky you'll make it to Koblenz.―Kivvish

Good place to get to Treir as a lot of people working in Luxembourg live there. Waited 25 minutes even though I was a little early (around 2pm) so around time people finish work you should have more luck. Decided to get off at Wasserbillig but I think it might be better to go to Trier.―Kivvish

lots of traffic heading to wasserbillig, luxembourg from here to fill there cars, enough place to stop but you will most proably get a short lift only to wasserbillig (10km)―Anonymous

Almost all the cars come from and will return to Germany, because they only want to get the cheap fuel and cigarettes here.Rather difficult to find a car heading south (berchem, france...)

A lot of German cars coming for cheap gas. One guy took me to Trier and left me at a roundabound/ramp for a next ride direction Saarbrucken. He gave me a lighter.―Robbel

I wanted to go to Paris and waited there a whole sad hour finding cars only coming from and returning to Germany. Few people were going to Lyon or Metz, so it must be possible to find people for these directions. But I met two girls towards Lyon who had been there for 2 hours... We found together someone to the next petrol station. Much better...―Anonymous

Heavy traffic with 90% returning to Germany - most to Trier, some actually a lot further north. Finding someone going to France: frustrating, but doable.―CK

Towards Luxembourg: started rather late on a very rainy December afternoon, used a sign ("L") and got picked up and dropped at the gas station at the boarder after one other guy pulled over (but only went north). Probably the best spot in town, still!―Hydra supertramp

A good spot to get to Trier, but a bad one to get on the motorway and further.―Anonymous

Towards Luxembourg. Went on a sunny day, did not have to wait long for someone to pick me up. A lot of people go to the gas station in Luxemburg, because gas is cheaper there. Definitely a good spot! With sign―Anonymous
