 Pass Security:
Pass Security is essential for rail travelers. Rail Passes are like cash and
if traveling in Europe and the rail pass is lost or stolen, you will not receive
any type of replacement or refund unless you have Pass Protection. Under the Pass
Security Program, 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 $14 US, and covers all rail passes issued by Railkey. You must purchase
rail Pass Security at the time of purchase of your pass. When you order your
pass online, you will see that the box for Pass Protection is already set to accept.
If you do not want to participate in the Pass Security Program you may change
the option and decline the protection and Conditions .
Claims:
There are several steps to making a claim under Pass Security. Make
sure to read and understand them all. You may wish to print them out
and take them with you on your trip. Follow these simple steps:
- Report loss/theft to local police within 24 hours.
- Purchase a new Eurail, Europass or rail ticket for the remaining
days. Eurail, Europasses or other rail passes can be purchased at
a Eurail or Europass aid office. A listing will be sent to you along
with your pass.
Within 30 days of returning home, send us:
- A notarized written report that includes the pass holder’s
name, the date the pass was validated, how many days were unused,
and a description of what happened to the pass.
- Your official police report and your replacement ticket receipt.
- Also include a copy of your airline ticket stubs/receipts (round-trip
tickets from US of departure city to Europe).
