EuroTrain Service Fee

EuroTrain charges a service fee on purchased tickets. This fee is clearly displayed in the price breakdown during purchase.

The EuroTrain service fee is non-refundable in the following cases: voluntary cancellation by the customer, change of travel plans. The service fee IS refundable when: the Operator cancels the train service, a technical error on our Platform caused the booking issue, or we are unable to issue the ticket.

Operator Cancellations & Delays

If your train is cancelled or significantly delayed by the Operator:

Under EU Regulation 1371/2007, you may be entitled to 25% compensation for delays of 60-119 minutes and 50% for delays of 120+ minutes. Claims are processed by the Operator.

Where available, we will offer an alternative journey at no extra cost (re-routing).

You are entitled to a full refund of the ticket price including the EuroTrain service fee for services cancelled by the Operator.

Force Majeure

In cases of force majeure (natural disasters, pandemics, strikes, severe weather, government restrictions), refund and exchange conditions may be modified by Operators. EuroTrain will communicate any special policies and assist you in obtaining the best available outcome.
