Exchange and refund conditions for reservations

Last updated on 12 September 2024

 

The exchange and refund conditions for each reservation differ based on country and carrier. If the reservation has been booked using our self-service Book Reservations tool, a booking fee of €2 per passenger per train reservation is generally not refunded. Additionally, our booking tool relies on 3 different booking systems that we have partnered with, each with their own refund conditions – in most cases, a cancellation charge shall be deducted from the total reservation amount when the customer requests for a refund. 

 

Please check the following terms and conditions carefully to know which refund conditions apply for your particular reservation booking and we hope to have you onboard an Interrail adventure again soon!
