Compensation for delays and refund

  • Compensation for delays between 30 and 59 minutes for Frecce trains

    If Frecciarossa, Frecciargento and Frecciabianca trains are delayed between 30 and 59 minutes, Trenitalia will grant passengers a bonus equal to 25% of the original ticket price, which can be used within 12 months to purchase a new ticket.
    This bonus is non-cumulative and may not be used in conjunction with compensation awarded for delays of more than 59 minutes nor with any other type of compensation.

  • Compensation for delays exceeding 59 minutes for Frecce, Intercity and Intercity Notte trains

    If your train arrived late at the final destination, you are entitled to a compensation for delay equal to: 

    • 25% of the ticket price for a delay ranging from 60 to 119 minutes;
    • 50% of the ticket price for a delay of at least 120 minutes;
       

    paid: 

    • with a bonus for a new ticket to be bought within 12 months;
    • cash if the ticket has been paid cashre-credit for payment made via credit card.
       

    The compensation for delay is calculated basing on the total price of the whole travel solution, and is due also for purchases paid totally or partially with a bonus*.


    * The solution is proposed by Trenitalia travel sales systems, and can contemplate the use of one or more services of the national transport in combination and/or in combination with one or more regional transport services, purchased contextually. International trains, other companies’ train and combinations of travels including regional services are excluded. The calculation of the compensation will take into consideration the departure time of the whole solution and, for regional train, the arrival time of the train selected during the purchase process.

  • Compensation for train delays for regional transport passengers

    In the event of a delay between the departure station and the destination station indicated on an individual, 39, 39/AS or “mixed general-use ticket” fare ticket, passengers may claim compensation in the amount equal to:

    • 25% of the originally purchased ticket price in case of a delay of between 60 and 119 minutes (for tickets that cost at least €16.00);
