Cancel your Bahncard online - how it works

If you no longer need your BahnCard or it becomes too expensive for you, you can cancel it quickly and easily online.

Cancel the BahnCard using the online form

If you do not cancel your Bahncard 6 weeks before it expires, the subscription is automatically extended by one year. The easiest way to cancel is online:

• Open the Bahncard Service website.
• Select "Cancellation of your Bahncard" as the subject.
• In the message, you can keep it short or simply take over the following text: "Dear Sir or Madam, I hereby terminate my BahnCard on time. Please send me a written confirmation of the termination. Kind regards"
• Then enter your contact details, your BahnCard number and your e-mail address and send the cancellation.
• You will receive a confirmation email in the next few days that your BahnCard has been canceled.

Alternative: cancel your Bahncard with subscription alert

If you do not want to take care of the termination yourself, you can use the Aboalarm service. There you will find a free cancellation template that you only need to fill in with your data, download as a PDF and send. If requested, Aboalarm will also send the shipment for you (subject to a charge). Depending on the provider, shipping costs 2.99 to 4.99 euros.
