Luggage is limited to two pieces with a maximum total dimension of 62 linear inches each (total sum of length+width+height) weighing no more than 50lbs plus a small personal item (9"x10"x17"). You may also bring a bike with the purchase of the "Bike Add-on." You may only purchase one "Bike Add-on" per rider per way, however a single "Bike Add-on" is valid both ways if purchased to Black Rock City. Bike add-ons purchased from Black Rock City are only valid for the one-way outbound. E-bikes and bicycles weighing more than 50lbs will be subject to an oversize/overweight baggage fee at the point of embarkation.

You must have a valid Burning Man ticket or other valid entry credential to board the Burner Express Bus. A Burner Express bus ticket alone will not allow you to enter Black Rock City.
