Under the "Kundengarantie" (customer guarantee), refunds are also granted for the Deutschland-Ticket in the case of delays and cancellations (1 euro per journey). This only applies if the start and destination of the delay are in the NVV area. The amount of the refund is limited to 25 euros per month.

The Deutschland-Ticket does not allow you to take your bicycle with you free of charge throughout Germany. Bicycles can be taken along free of charge within the NVV area. Other regulations may apply outside the NVV. Please contact your local transport companies and associations for more information.

If you want to switch from a mobile ticket to a chip card, the existing travelcard must be cancelled in the relevant app. You can then take out a new subscription and choose to issue the ticket as a chip card. Switching from a chip card to a mobile ticket works in exactly the same way.
