Each BahnCard means reduced ticket prices for twelve months. Due to the different variants, however, the purchase wants to be well considered.

BahnCard calculator: detailed information for all cases

You can find the BahnCard calculator at this address. There you proceed as follows:

1. First enter the start and destination address of a usual trip for you.
2. On the next page you will now receive a detailed price listing with the indication from how many trips which BahnCard would be worthwhile.

This applies logically: The more trips you complete, the more attractive is a higher-value BahnCard.It is also important here that you should calculate which tariff you are likely to book for the trips most of the time. For example, it makes a difference for BahnCard planning whether you often book early and get the Super Sparpreis, or whether you travel very spontaneously and therefore have to accept more expensive prices (Flexpreis). Die Unterschiede zwischen diesen Preisstufen sehen Sie ebenfalls in der Auflistung des BahnCard Rechners.
