BahnCard in Germany
BahnCard in Germany
BahnCard is a good choice, if you plan to travel by train a lot. It's valid for one year from the date of purchase and gives you discounts on all standard tickets. Long-distance BahnCard tickets frequently do include one single journey on public transport in many destinations (look out for City ticket).
The BahnCard discount doesn't apply to network tickets, but some transportation networks do offer their own discounts for BahnCard holders.
BahnCard 25 costs €57 (€114 for first class) and gives you a 25% discount on all standard tickets. Spouses and kids of BahnCard 25-owners can get additional cards for €5. Bahncard 25 discount can be combined with the Sparpreis, Sparpreis 25/50 and Europa-Spezial, totalling in up to 62% discount.
BahnCard 50 costs €230 (€460 for first class) and gives you a 50% discount on all standard tickets. You can get this card for €115 if you're a pupil or student in Germany (up to 26 years of age), a pensioner of more than 60 years or disabled.
BahnCard 100 costs €3800 (€6400 for first class) and gives you a 100% discount on almost all tickets. An exception is the AutoZug, which is a train that allows you to take your car along. You will have to pay an additional fare to use the night trains and the ICE Sprinter.
A Probe BahnCard 25 is periodically introduced under varying names, and this entitles the bearer to the BahnCard 25 discount for themselves (and, on occasion, up to four accompanying riders) for four months and costs €25.
