German Train Delay Rights – What Passengers Can Claim (English to German)
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have a practical guide explaining passenger rights for train delays in Germany. Most travelers don't know they can claim compensation when their train is late. This guide explains exactly what they're entitled to and how to get it.
The guide is currently in English and needs translation into clear, accurate German.
