With the DB shuttle service, we always offer you a fixed price including all taxes, fees and tips. The fixed price for sedans may change due to a) delays caused by the client, b) route changes or c) rebookings.
- a) If the delay of a passenger results in additional waiting time, this will be charged at a maximum of 90 cents per minute (incl. 19% VAT). Train delays through no fault of the passenger are excluded.
- b) In the event of a route change, any price change is based on the distance.
- c) Rebookings up to three hours before departure are free of charge. Rebookings within three hours of departure are subject to a processing fee of EUR 5. Cancellations within 3 hours of the pick-up time will be charged the full rate.
If you change a booking, Talixo will try to offer you a trip at the same conditions. If this is not possible, you will be informed.
