What is the refund policy?

Asked 2 years ago
Via Rail Canada has a specific refund policy that varies depending on the type of ticket purchased. Generally, tickets can be classified into three main categories: fully refundable, partially refundable, and non-refundable tickets. Fully refundable tickets allow travelers to receive a full refund if they decide to cancel their trip, typically before the scheduled departure time. Partially refundable tickets may allow a traveler to cancel for a refund; however, there may be a cancellation fee deducted from the total amount. Non-refundable tickets, on the other hand, do not offer any refund option once the purchase is complete. It is important for passengers to carefully review the terms and conditions associated with their specific ticket type. Refund requests usually need to be submitted through the appropriate channels as outlined on the Via Rail website. Refunds may take a few days to process, depending on the payment method used at the time of purchase. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding refunds, including any potential fees or exceptions that may apply, it is advisable to consult the current web page on the Via Rail Canada website. This resource will provide detailed information directly pertaining to the refund policy for different ticket types.
