Home > Rail > Rail PassTerms & Conditions

Lost or stolen rail passes are neither refundable nor replaceable.

Unused vouchers of combination packages (those combining rail with other travel programs such as car or hotel) are not refundable if any of the services of the entire combination package have been wholly or partially used. Prices are subject to change without prior notice.
