With Bahncard 25, you save 25% of travel costs, with Bahncard 50 you save 50%. But you have to buy the Bahncard for one year each. Of course, that’ll cost something.

This means that it is not worth a single trip. It’s worth the more, the more common you drive. You’ll also get a discount on savings prices, but you can get a lot out with savings prices alone… then you don’t even need a train card.

I once made an Excel list to calculate the personal savings…

Total price with railway card: price railway card + number of trips * price per trip* (100% discount in percent)

Without train card: number of trips * Price per trip

At Bahncard 50 you pay only half, that is 20€ driveway + 20€ return trip. Bahncard 50 costs 234€, from 6. The train card is worth the weekend (80€ drive).

If you’re every three. Driving weekend (17 trips per year) would you pay on average 53€ instead of 80€… The price of the railway card is calculated. Every second week it would be €49.36.

This is not so easy now:
At a BC 25 you save exactly 25% of the price, at a BC 50 just 50% of the price, but… A BC 50 is a whole lot more expensive than a BC 25, so you have to calculate the extra price.

And then there would be the savings prices: If you are driving a ticket to the (super) repair price (access), you will only get 25% discount on this price with both BahnCards, so the BC 50 does not bring any additional benefit.

BC 50 saves 50%

BC 25 saves 25%

As the name says. And since the one costs 127 EUR and the other doubles, you can calculate from when a BC expects. Spare and super-saving prices also apply without BC.

50 and 25 %

However, you must, of course, offset the costs for the BC.
