FEES AND CHARGES:

Costs of reservations

For a lot of trains we have given an indication of the costs for a reservation, not for the scenic trains and also not for the night trains.
The supplements for night trains are hard to mention as they can be different per country, per train, per route, per departure date and also on the amount of privacy that you prefer. The supplements differ roughly from €20 to even €120. This big difference is mainly due to the differences possible in amount of privacy.

LOST TICKETS:

ACP Rail is not responsible for tickets or vouchers, which are lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Refunds cannot be authorized in such cases. Therefore, travel insurance is recommended.

When travelling on a 5 or 10-day flexible InterRail Pass, please note that if the benefit entails free transportation, it requires the use of one of your travel days. In case of a free overnight ferry, you may enter either the day of departure or arrival in the Travel Calendar.

If the benefit only entails a discount in price, this does not require use of a travel day. Therefore, you can travel using the discount - even if all your travel days have been used up - provided it takes place within the overall validity period of your Pass.
