A supplement is payable for ICE Sprinter and CityNightLine trains. RAILPLUS – the extra BahnCard for Europe
BahnCard holders can also enjoy additional savings when travelling to other European countries. In addition to your BahnCard discount on the DB section of the journey, BahnCard holders are also entitled to a 25 per cent discount on the normal fare for the foreign section of the journey in 29 European countries.
This offer does not apply to global fares (e.g. Thalys).
This extra international benefit is automatically included in all BahnCards purchased on 9 December 2007 or after.
Customers who purchased their BahnCard before 9 December 2007 can subsequently purchase the RAILPLUS card for EUR 15.
