Plan&Save -  The earlier you start planning the more you can save
From now on you can travel much cheaper: If you buy your tickets at least three days in advance you can save up to 50% off the regular price.  

Travel together – Save together
5 people riding together travel on a  companion fare. It does not matter whether you travel with your family or friends, travel together means saving together.  

The new BahnCard costs less -  and you can now do much more with it!
As of August 1st 2003 you can get three different BahnCards. The BahnCard25 which gives you a 25% discount on all available rebates! With the BahnCard25 you can lower the price of regular tickets as well as Plan&Save-prices and companion discount.

For people that are mainly travelling alone the BahnCard50 is an interesting saving.  It allows you a discount of 50% on the regular fares, without booking in advance. So you can be flexible and save!   The BahnCard100 allows you free travel on all german routes, and it is a great opportunity for those who spend      more than €3000 for german train travel per year.     

Family travel is particularly favourable – Children   under 14 years travel free!
Benefit from the new family discount system  (Familienregelungen): Children under 14 travel free of charge in Germany when travelling with their parents or grandparents.
