What Bahnsparer can do
Every feature at a glance – from search to compensation.
Before booking
Fare calendar
Two weeks at a glance, with fare and journey time for each day on your route.
Price alerts
Watch a travel day or date range for new lows, with an optional price limit.
Reliability
For each connection, see how often it arrived on time and when it usually reached the destination.
Recommendation
Highlights the lowest fare, best balance and fastest option using fare, journey time and reliability.
Occupancy
Shows how busy the train is expected to be where DB provides that data.
Travellers & options
Add BahnCards, children, a dog and a bicycle, and optionally include first class.
Intermediate stops & second destination
Plan a journey through a chosen stop or compare two destination stations directly.
Trip import
Optionally import booked trips from your DB account, DB Navigator or bahn.de.
Weekly journeys
Keep watching selected weekdays automatically, for regular commuter routes.
When booking
Check regional day tickets for your connection and purchase from the official provider. The directory covers all 16 German federal states.
Provider comparison
Check the same journey with ČD, PKP, MÁV, European Sleeper or Snälltåget, often for less. FlixTrain, Westbahn, Leo Express and GoVolta are compared too.
Cheaper seat reservations
Compares eligible seat-reservation offers from ČD, MÁV and ÖBB. In the benchmark, they were typically 44% cheaper than DB.
Split-Tickets

Deutschlandticket
Accounts for the pass across your whole travel party and shows when regional services are the better option.
Sort & filter
Order by recommendation, fare, journey time, reliability or safer transfers.
Price history
Track previous fares and connections for your route.
During the journey
Live journey guidance
On the day of travel, the saved journey opens automatically with DB's current arrival, the platform and progress along the route.
Coach order and seat
Platform, coaches and open sections for your class. With a connected DB account, it also shows the coach and seat of your reservation.
Transfer assessment
Assess whether a transfer is likely to work live, alongside how often comparable transfers worked in the past.
Passenger rights
Estimate possible compensation (25–50% from 60 minutes late), share the facts and open the claim process.
Journey statistics
Review the trains you recorded, their punctuality and delays.
Journey summary
Compare the fare paid with observed prices to calculate an actual saving.
