The Deutschlandticket is a personal ticket that is only valid for you. As a general rule, you cannot bring other people, dogs, or bicycles for free.
Here are the details:
Other People: No. The ticket is only valid for the person named on it. Any companions must purchase their own ticket.
Children: Yes, children under 6 years old can travel with you for free and do not need a ticket. Children aged 6 and over must have their own valid ticket.
Dogs & Bicycles: This is not included in the Deutschlandticket. The rules vary significantly across Germany and depend on the local transport association (Verkehrsverbund). In many regions, you must buy an additional ticket (e.g., a bicycle ticket or a ticket for your dog).
Our tip: Please always check the specific rules for taking dogs or bicycles with the local transport provider for your route before you travel.
