Tickets for children (Kinderkarten)

For all children from the age of 6 years who regularly travel on HVV services we offer bargain-price monthly season tickets and the supersaver annual Abo-Karte all year travel pass.

TIP: Children under 6 years of age travel free-of-charge on HVV services.

New:
All General season tickets and supplementary tickets are valid until services officially terminate on the last day of validity indicated. The services officially terminate at 0600 of the following day.

No problem at all – the few steps to your child’s monthly season ticket

An HVV season ticket always consists of a customer photocard and a corresponding coupon indicating the period of validity.

1. First select the ticket type your child requires and the area of validity as shown in the HVV Fare Zone Plan. Or enter the mask for our HVV Timetable Information service and let the assistant guide you to the right HVV season ticket for your child.
2. If the child does not yet have a customer photocard we will be glad to issue one at any of our HVV service centres. As parents of the child please come along too and bring a passport photo of your child which you’d like us all to see together with proof of his or her age.
3. Once we have issued a customer photocard and the corresponding coupon indicating the period of validity your child is free to travel on HVV services.

That’s all you have to do. The easiest and most convenient way to buy your coupon week for week or month for month is at our HVV service centres.
