Managing your company's business travel

• A person requires a business customer account to be able to book a BahnCard Business and use the digital services.
• Invite your employees to create a business customer account by sending them a registration link by e-mail.
• During the registration process, you decide whether employees are granted booking rights or not.

1. Click on "Employees" in the "My company" tab.
2. Find the specific employees under "Search for people" and open their profile.
3. You can activate or withdraw administrator rights under "Edit".

1. Log in.
2. On the home page, select the journey you wish to take and follow the booking steps.
3. The ticket you book appears automatically in your customer account.
4. The same login details work for the DB Navigator app - the ticket is automatically added there too.

1. Log in.
2. In the navigation bar, select "Tickets & offers" and then "BahnCard Business".
3. Order the BahnCard Business you want. The card is automatically added to your customer account.
4. Be sure to activate the "BahnCard discount" in your customer account. 

1. Click on "Employees" in the "My company" tab.
2. Search for specific employees under "Search for people" and click on the three dots on the right.
3. Select an offer in the dialogue window.
4. Carry out the remaining booking steps as usual.
5. The ticket you booked is automatically added to the employee's customer account and DB Navigator and is visible once they have logged in. 

1. When booking, select the journey and the offer as appropriate.
2. In the "Customer data" step, enter the name of the third party under the "Who are you booking for?" option. If the person has a BahnCard, this must be entered manually.
3. The payment method stored in your customer account will be the first method considered. If you wish to pay for the tickets using a central corporate credit card, you must have assigned this to your own customer account in the booking unit in advance.
4. After booking, forward the ticket to the person travelling.

• You can book BahnCards for employees only if they have their own customer account.
• Important: The date of birth and address are required at the time of booking; the customer account holder must have entered these when setting up the customer account.
• Once a BahnCard Business has been successfully booked it is automatically stored in the customer account and the DB Navigator of the respective employee and is visible once the person has logged in.
• In addition, the employee must then add the BahnCard discount in their customer account. Only then will the BahnCard Business discount be used every time a ticket is booked.

Please note that this setting must be activated by the BahnCard holders themselves. 

• As a business customer administrator or a booking unit manager, you have your own business customer account.
• Enter the following personal data in your customer account: date of birth, address and BahnCard discount if you have one.

Tip: You can also book tickets and seat reservations for third parties via your customer account.

In order for a BahnCard Business discount to be automatically used when tickets are booked, the BahnCard must be added under "Discount" in the travelling person's business customer account. This can only be done by the account holders themselves.

1. Select the "BahnCard" section in your customer account.
2. Under the option "Add discount" you can select and save the corresponding BahnCard Business.

• Once your BahnCard Business has been booked, it automatically appears in your business customer account. You must present it on the train when your ticket is being inspected.
• A BahnCard Business can only be stored digitally in one customer account (either business or private).

• Download the DB Navigator app.
• The same login details apply as for the bahn.business portal.
• All tickets, seat reservations and BahnCards (Business) booked in the customer account are automatically added also to DB Navigator after they have been successfully booked.

If you have several departments, branches or locations and want to use different billing addresses and/or payment methods for them, we recommend that you create "booking units".

1. Select the menu item "Booking units".
2. Under "Create booking unit" you can create a new booking unit by entering a name for it.
3. Under "Search for booking unit" you will find an overview of the booking units you have created.
4. Click on the three dots at the end on the right to display details of the booking unit.

Prerequisite: The person you want to assign must already be registered as a business traveller (GR).

1. Select the booking unit you need under "Search for booking unit". Go to "General information" and "Edit".
2. In the "Assign booking unit manager" search field, enter the person's first and last name and select the person.

Enter different billing addresses if required:

1. In the "My company" area under "Booking units", select the booking unit you need and enter new billing addresses under "Central addresses".
2. Assign the new billing address to the business traveller by clicking on the three red dots at the end of the line.

• Central corporate credit cards mean simple payments and transparent billing for your booking unit.
• Select a booking unit in the "Company data" area.
• Under "Central corporate credit card" you can add a card and assign it to employees by clicking on the dots on the right.

1. Select the booking unit you need under "Search for booking unit".
2. Go to "Central corporate credit card" and select the correct card.
3. You can click on the 3 red dots at the end to enter additional central data.

Additional data can be assigned individually to employees as required:

1. To do this, click on the employee and change the data under "Central corporate credit card".

1. Under "Booking units" and "Search for booking unit", select the booking unit from which you want to move the employees.
2. Click on the three dots at the end on the right and select "Move employees".
3. Under "Move employees to the following booking unit", select the new booking unit.

Attention: Moving employees means that their settings for corporate credit cards and billing addresses are returned to the default.
