The InterRail One Country Pass

Types of passes

There are 4 types of passes, depending on the duration of your journey. However, all passes require you to complete your journey within one month.

• 3 days, valid within a period of one month (flexi*)
• 4 days, valid within a period of one month (flexi*)
• 6 days, valid within a period of one month (flexi*)
• 8 days, valid within a period of one month (flexi*)

*Flexi means that you may choose which days you travel during the period for which your InterRail pass is valid. You then have to fill in the day's date on your ticket before boarding the first train of the day. You write down these dates on your Travel Calendar, which you receive together with your InterRail pass.

Cancellation of the InterRail pass

To cancel an InterRail pass, the pass first needs to be stamped NOT USED. This can be done at a Ticket & Service office in the larger stations. The date of cancellation also needs to be stamped onto the pass. Cancellation is only possible prior to or on the date when the pass would become valid.

Restitution

Requests for restitution take place at the facility where the InterRail pass was bought. If the pass was bought via internet or by telephone, the pass may also be cancelled at a Ticket & Service office in one of the larger stations or with NS Hispeed Telesales: 0900 9296 (€ 0.35 per minute).

Administration fee

In case of restitution an administration fee will always be charged. This amounts to 15% of the price of the ticket. There will be no restitution on any ticket that has been "partially" used; the same applies to stolen or lost tickets.
