What is the Deutschland Corporate Ticket?
All companies that have concluded a corporate ticket agreement with us can offer their employees the Deutschland Corporate Ticket. It allows the use of all public transport in Germany, including regional trains (the ticket is not valid on long-distance trains (IC, EC, ICE)). The ticket is only available by subscription and is a personal, non-transferable season ticket. Other persons, dogs, or bicycles cannot be taken along free of charge anywhere in Germany.
How much does the Deutschland Corporate Ticket cost?
The regular ticket price of €49 a month is reduced by a minimum employer contribution of 25% (equivalent to €12.25) per month and employee plus a BVG discount of 5% (equivalent to €2.45) per month and employee. This means that, in 2023, employees pay a maximum of €34.30 per month of their subscription.
