Ticket Protection Plan

In order to ensure peace of mind and protect your vacation, our Ticket Protection Plan is essential for rail travellers.

Rail passes are like cash, if you are travelling in Europe and your rail pass is lost or stolen, you will not receive a refund unless you have our Ticket Protection Plan.

Under the Ticket Protection Plan, you are entitled to a full refund of the unused portion of your original rail passes or rail and drive passes. This service is available for only £8 and covers all rail passes issued by this site.

Terms and conditions of the programme are as follows:
