FAQ about claiming with ÖBB

When can I claim compensation with ÖBB?

You may claim if you arrive at your final destination 60 minutes or more late due to a ÖBB delay or cancellation, and EU Regulation 1371/2007 applies. Some domestic or tourist services may be exempt — we assess each claim individually.

How much can I get for a ÖBB delay?

Under EU rules: 25% of the ticket price for a 60–119 minute arrival delay, and 50% for delays of 120 minutes or more. Cancellations may also entitle you to rerouting or a refund.

What documents do I need for a ÖBB claim?

Your booking confirmation or ticket (with reference), plus any proof of the delay or cancellation — such as app notifications, station boards or operator emails. Upload these via our claims portal.
