Tickets

No matter how often or how far you intend to travel – we are sure to have the right ticket just for you.
All tickets are on offer at fair prices for specific times and areas of validity.
Below we have compiled certain key information for your attention. You will find further details on our tickets in the left-hand menu.

And keep in mind: Children under 6 years of age travel free-of-charge on HVV services!

Single Tickets (Einzelkarten)

Single tickets are valid for one trip and 1 person.

The Short-trip Ticket – make a short hop at a low price within our HVV Großbereich, the Greater Hamburg Area!

Day Tickets (Tageskarten)

Day Tickets are valid for unlimited travel on the date of issue.

Valid for travel by 1 adult and 3 children (6 to 14 years inclusive), the 9 am Day Ticket is valid after 0900, the All-day Ticket all day long. Also valid after 0900, the am Group Ticket may be used by up to 5 persons.

A 9 am Day Ticket can often make sense for just two trips on the day you select, the 9 am Group Ticket even when only two of you are travelling.

Buy Single and Day Tickets from any bus driver or ticket vending machine.
