Deutschland-Ticket

From 1 January 2026, the Deutschland-Ticket will cost EUR 63 per month. The new price was agreed upon by Germany's federal and state transport ministers.

Please let us know whether you wish to keep your Deutschland-Ticket at the new price of EUR 63 per month or cancel your subscription. Please respond no later than 30 November 2025. You can inform us of your decision in two ways:

1.  In the "Aboportal"
Log in with your bahn.de account and go to your Deutschland-Ticket. Click on the "Agree to amendment" button to read all the information about the changes. Here you can either agree to continue your subscription at the new price and the changed tariff conditions or reject the continuation. If you reject, your Deutschland-Ticket will be cancelled automatically on 31 December 2025.

2.  In the DB Navigator app
Open the DB Navigator app and go to your Deutschland-Ticket with the visible QR code. Tap on the menu selection with the three dots at the bottom of the page. Select "Agree to amendments". If you cannot see the button, please select "To the Aboportal". You will be forwarded directly to the "Aboportal". There you can either agree to the new tariff conditions or reject them.

Please note: Only the contractual partner, i.e. the person who ordered the subscription, can agree to the amendments. If you use the Deutschland-Ticket but someone else ordered it for you, please inform this person that they must agree to the price adjustment by 30 November 2025, so that you can continue to use your ticket in 2026.

If you do not agree to the price increase or if you do not respond by the deadline, we will unfortunately have to cancel your Deutschland-Ticket subscription with effect from 31 December 2025. You do not have to do anything else, your Deutschland-Ticket subscription will end at the end of 2025 and you will not incur any costs. Please note that you will no longer be able to use your Deutschland-Ticket from 1 January 2026.

If you have missed the deadline of 30 November 2025 or would like to continue your subscription, select the "Reactivate subscription" menu item in the "Aboportal" or the DB Navigator app. This option is only available until the entered termination date of 31 December 2025. During this period, the status of your subscription will be "cancellation initiated". If you reactivate your subscription, we will renew your Deutschland-Ticket at the new conditions, i.e. in particular at the new price. If you continue your cancelled subscription, its status will be "active".

Please note: From January 2026, if a ticket inspector finds you to be travelling without a valid ticket, you will have to pay a penalty fare of at least EUR 60. Please ensure that you have a valid ticket before travelling.

Deutsche Bahn is providing transparent information about the increase in the monthly price of the Deutschland-Ticket to EUR 63, as agreed by Germany's federal and state governments. In the interests of consumer protection, we ask you whether you would like to continue your Deutschland Ticket subscription with us as your contractual partner under the new conditions, and request your active consent to do so.

You can find the various subscription offers at bahn.de/pendler or via the timetable information on int.bahn.de after entering your route.

You can cancel your Deutschland-Ticket yourself at any time, within the applicable cancellation periods, via the "Aboportal" or in the DB Navigator app.

The price of the Deutschlandsemesterticket is influenced by the pricing of the Deutschland-Ticket. The increase in the price of the Deutschland-Ticket will not affect your Deutschlandsemesterticket in the winter semester 2025/2026. Therefore, your agreement is not required.

Please note that from 1 July 2026, the new price will take effect in accordance with the applicable tariff regulations and will be implemented by the universities / general students' committees as per the applicable regulations. This means that the ticket is provided at the new discounted price for a full semester from 1 July 2025. The resulting semester fee for the current semester will be communicated and charged by the universities / general students' committees in advance.

In most cases, yes. If you wish to keep your Deutschland-Ticket job ticket subscription at the new price or cancel it, you must respond by 30 November 2025, as is the case for the normal Deutschland-Ticket. The monthly price you will pay depends on the agreements on the subsidy with your employer and will be a maximum of EUR 59.85 per month from 1 January 2026 (minus the individual subsidy). You can agree to the amendment in the subscription portal.

Exception: If your employer pays the full monthly subscription price for the job ticket, you do not have to agree to the price increase. The subscription will be continued provided that your employer continues the framework agreement with Deutsche Bahn.

As you have not agreed to the continuation of the subscription contract or have missed the response deadline, we have cancelled your Deutschland-Ticket subscription with effect from 31 December 2025. We have informed the contractual partner, i.e. the person who ordered the subscription, of this via the e-mail address stored in the subscription portal. If you realise in January 2026 that you still need a Deutschland-Ticket, please order a new subscription.

Please note: From January 2026, if a ticket inspector finds you to be travelling without a valid ticket, you will have to pay a penalty fare of at least EUR 60. Please ensure that you have a valid ticket before travelling.

Unfortunately not. However, you can cancel your subscription yourself at any time in the "Aboportal" or in your mobile phone ticket. Alternatively, you can use our cancellation form to cancel at the earliest possible date. Please note the standard notice period. A Deutschland-Ticket subscription can be cancelled up to the 10th calendar day of a month with effect from the end of that month.

If your Deutschland-Ticket has been cancelled, you have several options.

1. Before 31 December 2025
You can easily reactivate your subscription. To do this, select the menu item "Reactivate subscription" in the "Aboportal" or in the DB Navigator app. This option is only available until the entered termination date of 31 December 2025. During this period, the status of your subscription will be "cancellation initiated". If you reactivate your subscription, we will renew your Deutschland-Ticket at the new conditions, i.e. in particular at the new price.

2. After 31 December 2025
If you would like a new Deutschland-Ticket in January 2026 and your current subscription has been cancelled, please order a new Deutschland-Ticket subscription at the new price of EUR 63 per month.

Please note: From January 2026, if a ticket inspector finds you to be travelling without a valid ticket, you will have to pay a penalty fare of at least EUR 60. Please ensure that you have a valid ticket before you start your journey so that you do not incur any additional costs during ticket inspection.
