Deutsche Bahn starts summer discount offensive: saving up to 50%!

Deutsche Bahn launched a comprehensive discount offensive on May 28, 2025 to increase the passenger numbers in summer. Overall, the booking situation for the coming holidays around Ascension and Pentecost is better than in the previous year. According to t-online.de , Deutsche Bahn recorded an increase in traffic by 9% compared to the previous year. 9% more tickets were sold, especially over the Ascension Day, while sales over Pentecost were added by 4%. However, the current utilization of the trains is only about 44%, which means that the target of 50% is not achieved.

The reasons for the noticeably lower utilization include construction sites and longer travel times in April. To counteract this, Deutsche Bahn introduces various price campaigns. From June 15th, the entry -level price for short -distance routes up to 100 kilometers will only drop to only 6.99 euros; With a BahnCard the price even starts at 5.24 euros.

attractive offers for young travelers and seniors

Especially younger travelers under the age of 27 benefit from an action: You can temporarily purchase the BahnCard 50 for 49.99 euros instead of regular 79.90 euros. For seniors, Deutsche Bahn also develops a new extra ticket quota and tests the introduction of a senior BahnCard Plus with additional services.

Other price advantages apply to Flex Price customers who receive 20% discount by July 31 if they book more than four weeks in advance. In addition, tickets can be canceled free of charge from mid -June to one day before departure. Another interesting regulation stipulates that BahnCard 50 owners can take an accompanying person with them at the same price by the end of September.

monthly tickets and special discounts

for commuters there is a 25% discount on long -distance monthly menu in the second half of June. The offers of Deutsche Bahn are supplemented by additional actions by third -party providers. Among other things, a discount of 7% on all rail tickets is valid at Omio by June 30, 2025. Also at Bahndampf.de Finding travelers will find attractive savings price campaigns, for example for ICE tickets from 7.49 euros with BahnCard-discount.

The offers for families are particularly noteworthy: children up to 14 years drive for free and there are special great savings prices for different age groups, including among 27-year-olds and seniors. In addition, groups of six or more people benefit from a reduced price of 8.99 euros for the trip in ICE.

The offer is rounded off by the possibility of using night trains from 29.90 euros and buying flixtrain tickets for short-haul from 4.99 euros. Deutsche Bahn not only attracts casual travelers, but also commuters and families to sustainably increase the workload of the trains.
