hvv Prepaid Card

Load up your card and off you go!

It’s easy, fast and practical: the hvv Prepaid Card means that you can pay without cash on buses – without the hassle of logging in to the internet, showing a credit card or having a smartphone. You just select the right ticket on the bus and it is stored on the hvv Prepaid Card. The tickets paid with the hvv Prepaid Card and stored on it are valid on all means of transport.  

And this is how it works

Free of charge

The hvv Prepaid Card doesn’t cost you anything and can be loaded up in 5-euro steps as often as you like. The maximum amount loadable on one card is 150 euros. 

Usable from the word go

The cashless payment card works without logging in. You don’t need to register any account or card data. You just select the right ticket on the bus and it is stored on the hvv Prepaid Card.

Available every­where 

You can get the hvv Prepaid Card everywhere in the Hamburg city area – in our service centres, at U-Bahn stations (from the new HOCHBAHN ticket machines) or from our sales partners:


Simple to charge

You can load your credit balance everywhere where you can get a hvv Prepaid Card (see above)

Choice of tickets

You can buy single, day, group and supplementary tickets on the bus with your hvv Prepaid Card.

Transfer­able

The hvv Prepaid Card is not individualized. That means you can pass it on, together with the credit balance on it, e.g. to your kids, your grandchildren or your visitors.
