German to English translations [PRO]
Tourism & Travel / Eigene Anreise
German term or phrase: Eigene Anreise
It means that the person cares for the transport personally.

My try: own arrangements

The translation should be simple and quite short, it needs to appear on a website!
Thanks!

Notes to answerer
Asker: In this context the answer is not suitable. The meaning is correct but you should turn it the other way round: the person arranges their own transportation, not that this service is not offered.

neutral  writeaway: eigene Anreise has nothing to do with transport. Just transportation /Anreise. it's how they get there. not their luggage on its own. nothing about Koffertransport.

Not including transportation


Explanation:
My attempt. Perhaps this might suit your purposes if you have to make a distinction between a travel package that includes transportation and one that does not. A little more context might help out here.
