Saver business fare: the low-cost ticket for business travellers with easy cancellation

The saver business fare will be available from 1 January to 31 December 2025. During this period, you can book and travel with the saver fare business.  

The following applies to the super saver fare and super saver fare Europe for business travellers, as well as the saver fare business:

If you specify your departure and destination when booking, the City-Ticket is included in the total ticket price for flexible travel to and from a long-distance station if:

• the departure or destination is in one of the approximately 130 City-Ticket towns and cities,
• you use local public transport within the City-Ticket zone to travel to or from long-distance transport (ICE, IC, EC)

If you only need DB long-distance trains (e.g. from Cologne Main Station to Berlin Central) and do not require a transfer within the City-Ticket area using local transport, the saver fare ticket will be issued without a City-Ticket.

Yes. You receive a 25 % discount with a BahnCard Business 25 or BahnCard Business 50 (excluding City-Ticket).

Yes, you can cancel the saver business fare before the first day of validity. This is subject to a processing fee of EUR 10.
