Deutschland-Ticket

The Deutschland-Ticket can be used throughout Germany on all local trains such as RB, RE, S-Bahn trains (SPNV) and also on public transport such as buses, trams, subways, etc. (ÖPNV) of the participating state tariffs, transit authorities and transport companies in accordance with the area of validity and their conditions for any number of journeys. This applies regardless of which transport company, transit authority or national tariff is noted on the ticket itself. A Deutschland-Ticket purchased in Munich, for example, can therefore also be used for journeys in Frankfurt and the surrounding area.

Please note, however, that the Deutschland-Ticket is generally not valid on trains operated by DB Fernverkehr AG or other long-distance providers such as FlixTrain (e.g. IC, EC, ICE, but also RE of DB Fernverkehr AG). DB Fernverkehr is currently in talks with the federal states and local transport authorities about exceptions on certain sections of the route.
The Deutschland-Ticket can be used before and after a long distance train. However, a separate ticket is then always required for the long-distance route. This has an impact on any passenger rights. If you miss the connecting long distance train, the train connection is not canceled and no refund claims can be made.

Furthermore, the Deutschland-Ticket is not valid on means of transport that are operated primarily for tourist or historical purposes.

You can cancel your Deutschland-Ticket subscription by the 10th of each month to the end of the calendar month. The best way to do this is to use our Aboportal (subscription portal) or the "Cancel subscription" function in the DB Navigator below your mobile phone ticket.

The Deutschland-Ticket can be used before and after a journey on a long-distance train. However, a separate ticket is always required for the long-distance journey. This may have implications for passenger rights. If you miss the long-distance train you have booked following your journey on a local/regional service, you are not entitled to travel on another train with the same ticket and cannot claim a refund.

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.

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 mobile phone ticket is no longer displayed, you can add the travelcard again at any time under "Travel" using the travelcard number from your activation email.

Please note: If you order a new travelcard, you will incur additional costs for the new travelcard contract.
