About this app

The VRN eTarif.
Only the straight line counts.

Simple, cheap and fair:
This is the new electronic tariff - eTarif for short - for the entire VRN area, which is billed based on airline kilometers.

Your advantages:
- Simply get in and drive off – without any tariff knowledge or cash
- You only pay for the shortest distance (as the crow flies) between the start and destination stops.
- Convenient eTarif app with departure information
- Guaranteed cheap with cost airbag through daily and monthly maximum guarantee
- The Assisted Checkout feature attempts to trigger a local notification based on activity detection during an active ride (requires Physical Activity permission) so you don't forget to end the ride in the app.
It's that easy:
- Install the free eTarif app on your smartphone (Android or IOS) and register once.
- Start the app and log in with your smartphone before you start your journey.
- Your valid driving authorization is on your smartphone and can be shown during a check.
- Changing is possible without logging in and out again.
- After getting out, log out and see the price of your trip.
- You can pay your bill conveniently every month by direct debit or credit card - with a cost limit through daily and monthly maximum prices. With the eTarif, the prices of all VRN trips per day or per calendar month are summarized and a maximum of the daily or monthly fixed price is calculated, if this is cheaper for you.

Ratings and reviews

So far so good. But good God, do not select "allow all the time" under Location Permission. It will bring your phone to a crawl. Update: the "Journey Planning" function is a joke. Way too difficult to use. Not intuitive at all. So much for being a "smart app." Update (11.7.23): horrible app. Needs a complete overhaul; this time by someone who actually knows how to design functional apps.

Every attempt to add payment methods fails, be it with different cards or with SEPA mandate. So, pretty useless to have a ticket purchasing app where you can't, you know, pay for the tickets. Perhaps pre-payment though bank transfer works, but it takes up to three days according to their email, which makes me not particularly inclined to even try when I have to travel today. Moreover, the error message for the payment methods is in German even if the payment portal is in English. I can understand it, but not exactly user-friendly.

This app caused the troubles with payment multiple times. Then my credit card didn't work i was not informed and the balance was negative. In a week i got fees for that and by the end on the month I got email with pdf bill. There I found this out and paid accordingly with applied fees for which I was not informed on time!!! This is a fault of the app. Next month I decided to not use it at all. And again minus 9 euros (apparently for the 9 euro ticket, which I didn't purchase myself) and the fees
