Yes - myVRN has lots of functionalities that are accessible without having to register first. First and foremost of course there are route planning and real-time departure tables.
Via the sidebar a list of taxi services throughout the VRN area is accesible; this list is in alphabetical order.
Also via the sidebar on the left you can access „settings“ wher you can define whether you want to use the app in light or dark mode, whether you need to limit walking time to 5 minutes, exclude buses from any connections you plan, which icons do you want displayed in the icon bar at the bottom? – all this and much more can be set here.
Even without an account you can see the information on the different ticket options and ticket prices of the connections within VRN, but to purchase tickets, take out a subscription for Deutschland-Ticket or use the check-in – check-out system „VRN Luftlinientarif“, one needs an account and needs to be logged in.

By tapping on "Log In" and then on "Forgot Password," a window will open where you can enter the email address you used to register.

When traveling together, you can also purchase tickets for other people. However, a subscription cannot be taken out for another person.

Ticket purchase for others: after selecting the type of ticket (via „Plan Route“ or from „Ticket Shop“) – for example, a single ticket for a child or a day ticket for a group, you tap on the word 'Me' under 'Ticket Holder' and enter the first name and last name of the ticket user. During a check, you show your own ticket and that of the accompanying ticket holder.

The BahnCard cannot be stored in the customer data. However, when purchasing single tickets BC, you can normally select the discounted tickets through "Plan Route" or "Ticket Shop."

When using the VRN check-in – check-out system „VRN Luftlinientarif“ you must confirm your eligibility for the BahnCard discount before check-in. This is done by sliding the toggle to the right under "BahnCard" after entering the starting stop ("Where do you get on?").

During a check, you must present the BahnCard without being asked

Depending on which ticket you use, different rules for bringing along passengers apply.

According to our fare regulations, you can take an unlimited number of children under 6 years old for free with any valid VRN ticket. The fare regulations of the Deutschland-Ticket also state that these children can travel for free with the ticket holder.

For the VRN Day Ticket and the VRN Family Day Ticket, there is a special rule for bringing your own children or grandchildren: an unlimited number of your own family children and grandchildren up to and including 14 years old can travel for free with mom, dad, aunt, grandma, etc.. With the VRN Group Day Ticket, the ticket holder can take up to 4 people over 6 years old.
The VRN check-in – check-out system „VRN Luftlinientarif“ allows the registered main user to book up to 4 accompanying passengers. For each of these passengers, a 50% reduced best price for the journey will apply at the end of the trip. It should be noted that any BahnCard discount applicable to the main user does not affect the fare for accompanying passengers—even if one or more accompanying passengers also have a BahnCard.

In some cases, a Day Ticket, Family Day Ticket, or Group Day Ticket may be cheaper—especially if you are traveling multiple times in one day with the same people and/or traveling longer distances and/or bringing family children. If such trips are planned, it is advisable to compare prices in advance using "Plan Route."
