## What is Bahnsparer?

Bahnsparer helps you save time and money on German rail journeys, from search to arrival. Compare fares, journey time and past punctuality before you book. Watch your travel day and follow the selected journey live.

BEFORE BOOKING

- Fixed date: open exactly your travel day, including the remaining departures today.
- Flexible trip: compare the cheapest found connections across up to 14 days.
- Fare and journey time: compare price, duration, changes, occupancy, facilities and disruptions.
- Past punctuality: put trains and transfers in context using previous journeys. These figures are not a prediction.
- Fares and travellers: include BahnCards, several people, children, a dog, a bicycle and your chosen class.
- More fare options: compare FlixTrain, Westbahn, Leo Express and GoVolta, plus Deutschlandticket-covered sections and split tickets.
- Return trips: compare both directions together and see the total.
- Booking: open the selected departure directly with the relevant operator.

KEEP FARES IN VIEW

- Fare alert: watch a fixed travel day or a date range. The app reports new lows or fares at your limit.
- Fare history: see observed prices and their matching connections.
- Fare guidance: put previous lows in context without a price prediction.
- Background checks: the app checks saved travel days when iOS gives it time.

FROM DEPARTURE TO ARRIVAL

- Add a trip: save a selected connection or paste shared DB Navigator text and bahn.de links.
- Live journey companion: follow times, platforms, transfer risk, alternative connections and the route.
- Coach order: see the platform, coaches and open sections for your class when data is available.
- Record the arrival: capture the actual arrival and receive a local reminder five minutes beforehand.
- Personal trip record: see recorded trains, past punctuality and total delay minutes.
- Passenger rights: after a delay of at least 60 minutes, estimate possible compensation for a single ticket.

The compensation figure is a non-binding estimate. DB decides whether a claim is valid, and you submit it there yourself.

NO BAHNSPARER ACCOUNT

Bahnsparer needs no sign-up and no email address. Saved routes, price limits, fare history and journeys stay on your device. You can delete everything in the data settings.

Free. No Bahnsparer account, no payment details, no advertising.

BOOKING HAPPENS AT THE OPERATOR

Bahnsparer sells no tickets. Displayed prices can change; only the price in the operator's booking system is binding.

A fare alert is a help, not a promise: a cheap seat can be gone before the notification reaches you.

Bahnsparer is independent and is not connected with, endorsed by or affiliated with any named rail operator. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.
