DB Navigator app

Click on the map icon in the top right-hand corner of the DB Navigator app home page to switch to the map view. Use the filter icon at the bottom right to select the "Bicycles" option. You will then be shown available Call a Bike bikes in your area.

Select the bike you want. Click on the booking button to go to the "Call a Bike" app. There you can rent the bike after logging in (or registering).

You already have a ticket and would now like to reserve a seat? To do this, select the option "Seat only (without ticket)" in the drop-down list at the top left of the DB Navigator app home page. You can then search for the connection for which you would like to reserve a seat in the journey planner as usual. Select the desired train connection and complete the booking process.

For a faster and easier connection search, you can now save your regularly used route as a route favourite in the app in addition to stops and addresses. To do this, click on "Add favourite", for example, and create your desired route with start and destination. The connection is then saved with the options you have selected so that you do not have to enter them again later. Alternatively, you can also save route favourites in the connection overview via the "star symbol" or create, edit and delete them via your profile page.

Note: The route favourites are deleted after logging in and out.

The integrated map provides better orientation in the surrounding area. This can be called up via the map symbol at the top right of the DB Navigator app home page.

In addition to your own location, the area map shows which stops and stations are nearby as well as the respective departure and arrival boards. By clicking on a stop or station, the walking distance from the location to the selected stop or station is displayed graphically.

Note: Additional functions will be added to the map over time to make your journey from A to B even easier.

You can customize your transfer time in the connection search. To have more time when transferring, click on "Options" and select the desired number of minutes under "Transfer time". This will then be taken into account in the connection search.

In the connection search, enter the start and end point of the journey and select the date and time of travel. Under "Passengers, bicycles" you can choose 1st or 2nd class and also add other passengers for whom you may need a ticket, such as an adult, a dog or a bicycle. Discounts are also taken into account there if you wish.

In addition to ICE and Intercity trains, the connection search will also show you underground trains, suburban trains, trams and buses. If you have entered an address in the search, you will be shown the nearest stop that you can reach on foot.

You can further customize your trip via the "Options".

Benefit from the digital travel companion with the trip preview, trip notifications and the Remember journey function. The trip preview provides you with information about the different stages of your current trip as well as recommendations for action in real time.

In DB Navigator, you can now also set up digital travel assistance for regularly used connections.

The "Train information" button in the connection details and in the journey preview takes you to the entire journey of the train. You can access the current wagon sequence by clicking on the "Wagon sequence" tab. This way, you will know on the day of travel before your ICE, IC or EC arrives in which area of the track your carriage will stop.

Board, check in and lean back. With the digital Komfort Check-in service in the DB Navigator app, you can easily check yourself into your seat. As a rule, you will then no longer be checked in by the train attendant.

Please note: Tickets booked anonymously (e.g. via the website or at the Travel Centre) must first be loaded into the app before they can be used in DB Navigator. Alternatively, Komfort Check-in can also be carried out via the ICE Portal or int.bahn.de/check-in.

Missed your train? You can view all alternative connections including a detailed route description and the departure time of your planned journey. 

You would like to travel with your bicycle? Then simply book your ticket and the bicycle ticket including the corresponding bicycle space reservation for long-distance transport in the app. You can also book the card separately afterwards.

Add the traveller "Bicycle" in the travel information under "Travellers, Bicycles" by tapping on a traveller and then switching to the type "Bicycle".

Do you have several discount cards? If possible, the DB Navigator combines the discount cards or automatically selects the optimum discount for your journey. You can specify up to 4 discount cards for one person travelling.
