Monthly pass subscription

By acquiring a subscription of the Monthly pass you save round about 15 % compared to the price of twelve single Monthly passes. If you pay the entire amount for your annual pass at once, you will receive a further discount of 2 %. The total charge is simply debited to your account. You can choose between a freely transferable or a non-transferable personal pass. The non-transferable (personal) Monthly pass subscription is only valid in conjunction with an official ID. If you regularly travel on local and regional transport, the Deutschland ticket, which is valid throughout Germany and costs 49 euros per month, may also be worthwhile for you.

More information

The order form for your subscription can be filled out on your computer. Please print it afterwards, sign it and send it to us by mail, post or visit us at our GVH Customer Centre or the GVH Service Centres.

You can extend the Monthly pass subscription

  • If you want to travel within more zones your pass actually allows to, you merely need a Single- or a 6 trip Single ticket for one zone (A, B or C). Here it is not important how many zones you cross. Example: your Monthly pass subscription is valid for zone C but you want to get to the main station Hanover in zone A. Although you cross zone B and A, an extension with a Single- or a 6 trip Single ticket for one zone is enough.
  • If you make several journeys in other zones on one day, you can in this case buy a Day ticket or 6 trip Day ticket for one zone (A, B or C).
  • For short journeys in excess of the scope of validity of your Monthly pass subscription (three stations by tram, five stations by bus) all you need is an additional Short trip ticket.
  • All other persons, you take with your Monthly pass subscription and who travel within more zones your pass is valid for, also need a ticket each for one zone (A, B or C). An extension is also possible with a Day ticket for groups up to 5 persons for one zone (A, B or C).

Good to know

  • If you apply for a Monthly pass subscription no later than the 10th day of each month, you can use it in the following month already.
  • Until then, you can purchase a Subscription start pass.
  • The Monthly pass subscription is send to you directly.
  • If you pay the entire amount for your Monthly pass subscription at once in advance, you will receive a further discount of 2 % on the price.
  • Detailed information and support you can get in our GVH Customer Centre in the Karmarschstraße 30/32, 30159 Hanover.

Subscription start pass

If you apply for a new subscription, it takes a few days until your request is processed and you get the desired pass. The Subscription start pass allows subscribers to bridge the time from application to the start of the subscription period: it is currently issued in the GVH Customer Centre. The Subscription start pass is valid from midnight of the first day of validity until 05:00 a.m. of the last day of validity. The price depends on how many days must be bridged until the subscription starts. For each day only 1/30 of the future monthly subscription price will be charged.

Not the right ticket?
Maybe one of these offers will suit you:

  • Monthly pass subscription Regional tariff

    Do you travel regularly during year on the railway lines in rural districts around the Hanover region? If so, the best solution might be to opt for a Monthly pass subscription Regional tariff. It enables you not only to use many regional trains but as well all buses, trams and trains within the GVH tariff area. If you regularly travel on local and regional transport, the Deutschland ticket, which is valid throughout Germany and costs 49 euros per month, may also be worthwhile for you.
  • Monthly pass S (for authorised persons only)

    If you are in possession of a Region S pass (Region-S-Karte), you can purchase the Monthly pass S and save money compared to a regular Monthly pass. You can freely choose the first day of validity. At the weekends and public holidays the whole day long and from Monday to Friday from 07:00 p.m. until 05:00 a.m. of the following day you can take one co-travelling adult and up to three children under the age of 18 (all travellers must also be in possession of a Region S pass).
