Welcome to BookMyTrainz.com! We strive to provide a seamless and enjoyable experience for booking your train tickets. However, we understand that plans can change. This Refund and Cancellation Policy outlines the conditions under which cancellations, changes, and refunds may be requested. Please read it carefully before making a booking.
1. Cancellation Policy
1.1. Cancellation by the Customer
You can cancel your train ticket booking through BookMyTrainz.com, subject to the cancellation policies of the train operators. The amount refunded will depend on the timing of the cancellation and the specific terms of the train operator.
Advance Booking Cancellations: If you cancel your ticket well in advance (as per the operator’s rules), you may be eligible for a full or partial refund.
Last-Minute Cancellations: Cancellations made closer to the travel date may incur cancellation fees, or the ticket may become non-refundable depending on the train operator’s terms.
1.2. How to Cancel
To cancel your ticket, please log in to your BookMyTrainz.com account and follow the instructions in the "My Bookings" section. Alternatively, you may contact our customer support team at support@bookmytrainz.com.
1.3. Cancellation Charges
Cancellation charges will vary based on the train operator, type of ticket, and time of cancellation. The charges may include a percentage of the ticket fare, or in some cases, the entire ticket amount may be forfeited.
Example: If you cancel a ticket within 24 hours of booking, you may be eligible for a full refund minus a cancellation fee. If you cancel within 48 hours of travel, you may receive only 50% of the ticket price.
Please note that different train operators may have different cancellation policies. The details will be provided during the booking process.
