Deutsche Bahn Introduces New Discount Ticket for Business Travelers

The new 'Sparpreis Business' ticket aims to attract more corporate customers with flexible refund options.

The 'Sparpreis Business' ticket will be available starting January 1, 2025, with prices from €27.99 for routes like Frankfurt to Berlin.
Unlike previous discount tickets, the new offering allows direct refunds to companies, addressing business needs for financial flexibility.
The ticket can be canceled for a €10 fee, offering more flexibility than the non-refundable 'Super Sparpreis' but less than 'Flexpreis' options.
Deutsche Bahn's initiative responds to the post-pandemic recovery in business travel, which remains 24% below pre-COVID levels.
Currently, only 23% of business trips in Germany are made by train, with the majority still opting for cars.
