For everyone under 27: the saver fare ticket for young people

 Sparpreis Young

Depending on availability, a one-way saver fare ticket for young people for 2nd class can cost as little as EUR 16.90.

Information on the saver fare ticket for young people has been available in our regular travel information since 12 December 2021. This new ticket is for customers up to and including 26 years of age, so we have introduced a new passenger type. The offering is available along with all of the other ticket types listed for passengers aged 15-26. This also applies to the app.

Eligibility is based on the passenger's age on the first day of travel. Train attendants check the passenger's age.

Saver fare tickets for young people can be cancelled up to one day before departure for a processing fee of EUR 10. We issue as a refund a voucher that is valid for 3 years. It is not possible to cancel a ticket on or after the day of travel.

To cancel your saver fare ticket, go to your most recent bookings in your "My Bahn" account or use the order search function. Once you have cancelled a ticket, you can then book a new one in the usual way.
