Children under 6 always travel free of charge on hvv services. For children older than 6, there are reduced-price single/day tickets or school passes. These can already be used if children have not yet started school.
The hvv offers various types of ticket for all school students in regular primary or secondary education at a public school. The price and the rules on ticket use depend on where you live.
For school students living in Hamburg, the ticket is free. That means you can travel in the entire hvv area and all over Germany on local and regional trains for an unbeatable price of € 0. This ticket can only be ordered online and will be sent as a chipcard by post. For the time until it arrives, you can use the PDF ticket from your confirmation email as your authority to travel.
