Germany ticket
Unlimited mobility for Germany.
The Deutschlandticket is the ticket that fits your life perfectly. Simply use all city and regional buses and trains throughout Germany. As often as you like. For just 58 euros (from 01.01.2026: 63 euros) per month. It's so cheap and convenient that it's also worthwhile for people who don't travel much by bus or train.
Flexibility with a subscription
The Deutschlandticket is available as a season ticket that you can cancel monthly. Your cancellation must be received by your VRS transport company by the 10th of the month at the latest, then the subscription will be terminated at the end of the month.
Good to know: By purchasing the Deutschlandticket from your VRS transport company or via the VRS app, you are actively supporting bus and rail travel in the Rhineland, as the revenue remains in the region.
