Întrebările tale, răspunsuri directe

My Frankfurt to Munich ICE was over an hour late. What am I owed?

60–119 minutes late: 25% of what you paid. 120+ minutes: 50%. On a EUR 99 economy fare that's EUR 24.75 to EUR 49.50. On a EUR 199 flexible ticket, up to EUR 99.50. About 34% of services on this route are delayed — your claim is legitimate.

DB rerouted my train and I still arrived late. Can I claim?

Yes. Compensation is based on the delay to your final destination — Munich. It doesn't matter how DB got you there. If you arrived 60+ minutes late, you're owed money.

DB say it was Frankfurt congestion. Can they use that as an excuse?

No. Frankfurt congestion is a systemic, well-documented problem within Deutsche Bahn's own network. That is not force majeure. We challenge these rejections.

How do I start a claim?

Tell us your journey on TrainOwed — takes 30 seconds. We verify the delay, file the claim with DB, and chase it. You pay 25% only if we win.

How long do I have?

90 days from your travel date. DB deletes journey records after that. Don't leave it — check now.
