Common questions about DB Regio compensation
Can I claim compensation on a DB Regio regional train?
Yes. EU Regulation 2021/782 applies to DB Regio regional express (RE) and regional train (RB) services. Delays of 60+ minutes at your final destination entitle you to 25% of your ticket price, and 120+ minutes to 50%.

Submit your claim via bahn.de/fahrgastrechte, at any DB Service Point, or through TrainOwed. You need your ticket/booking reference and the delay duration. Claim within 90 days.
Are DB Regio trains often delayed?
DB Regio regional services had an on-time rate of 74.1% in 2024, according to the Bundesnetzagentur. That means roughly 1 in 4 regional journeys arrive late — many passengers are entitled to compensation they never claim.
What counts as 'on time' for DB Regio?
DB Regio uses a 5-minute threshold for 'on time' in its internal reporting. EU 2021/782 compensation kicks in at 60 minutes. A train can be 'on time' by DB's definition but still cause a missed connection that qualifies for compensation.
Does EU law cover short regional train journeys?
Yes. EU 2021/782 covers all domestic and cross-border rail journeys regardless of distance or ticket price. Even a €5 regional ticket qualifies — the minimum payout is EUR 4.
