Cancellation of the DeutschlandTicket
Test the DeutschlandTicket now without obligation!
If you are looking for a suitable ticket for your bus and train journeys, you now have the opportunity to test the benefits of the DeutschlandTicket and remain flexible. If the DeutschlandTicket doesn't suit you and your mobility, you can simply cancel it. There is no cancellation fee. This means you can enjoy all the benefits of the subscription and remain completely flexible if your life situation changes.
The DeutschlandTicket was created as a permanent nationwide subscription ticket as part of the federal government's third relief package. In view of the positive response to the 9-euro ticket, which was temporarily available in summer 2022 as part of a campaign initiative, the DeutschlandTicket is intended to ease the burden of rising energy and fuel costs on mobile people. It is seen as an environmentally friendly "flat rate for regional transport".
The ticket costs 58 euros per month. It is valid from the first day of the month from which you start the subscription. Don't be alarmed by the term subscription, because the ticket can be cancelled monthly. If you no longer need it, the DeutschlandTicket can be cancelled free of charge by the 10th of each month to the end of the month. If you do not cancel, it will be renewed and charged monthly.
The DeutschlandTicket is valid nationwide in all transport associations and with all local transport companies. You can use it on all local transport vehicles, i.e. buses, trams, city trains and underground trains as well as S-Bahn trains, regional trains and 2nd class regional express trains. The ticket is not valid on long-distance services (e.g. ICE, IC, EC), and private providers such as FlixTrain are also excluded.
You can purchase the DeutschlandTicket as a digital version with the DSW21 or DOtick app. Chip cards are also used as a carrier medium, so it is also possible to take out a subscription via the DSW21 subscription portal. It is not available from ticket machines.
No passenger or bicycle transport is provided. If your existing travelcard includes provisions for taking bicycles with you, these cannot be transferred when you switch to the DeutschlandTicket. You can extend your bicycle transport with the monthly bicycle ticket in your travelcard.
VRR offers the 1st class monthly ticket and the 1st class subscription ticket for 1st class use. It allows you to use 1st class on local trains in the VRR. It is valid in conjunction with the DeutschlandTicket or another season ticket. Use of 1st class is thus possible throughout the VRR.
It is not possible to use 1st class on journeys across national borders.
The DeutschlandTicket does not include bicycle transport. If you want to take a bicycle with you regularly, you can buy the monthly bicycle ticket or the bicycle subscription ticket for the VRR area. It is valid in conjunction with the DeutschlandTicket or another subscription ticket. If you only want to take a bike with you from time to time, the FahrradTicket VRR, which is valid for 24 hours, is sufficient.
If buses or trains are delayed by 20 minutes or more or cancelled altogether, the NRW mobility guarantee applies to local transport in North Rhine-Westphalia. This service also applies to people travelling on NRW local transport with a Deutschlandticket. The NRW mobility guarantee only applies to journeys within the North Rhine-Westphalian network and community tariffs and the NRW tariff.
