If you have an annual subscription and cancel it early, they will charge you the elapsed months accordingly to the monthly fee, not the yearly one and I had to pay 150 Euros for early contract termination.
- zimpenfish 6y agoWhereas in the UK, cancelling an annual travelcard has at most a £10 administration fee and you get a refund based on when you cancelled (although since it's discounted to 10 months cost, you probably won't get anything after that.) https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/ticket_types/46571.aspx#Refund https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/ticket_types/4657...

In Berlin, if you get an annual subscription instead of a monthly one, you will get two months for free. And if you cancel early instead of waiting for the whole year, you pay the difference between the monthly and yearly subscription for the months already used. I don't see anything scummy or illegal here.
