Italy Rail Pass Security Coverage and Conditions

In order to ensure peace of mind and protect your vacation in Italy, Pass Security is essential for rail travelers. Italy Rail passes are like cash. If you are traveling in Italy and your rail pass is lost or stolen, you will not receive a refund unless you have Pass Security. Under the Pass Security Program, you are entitled to a full refund of the unused portion of your original Italy rail passes or rail and drive passes. This service is available for only $12 , and covers all rail passes issued by this site.

You must purchase Italy rail Pass Security at the same time as the your pass. When you order your pass online, you will see that the box for Pass Security is already set to accept. If you do not want to participate in the Pass Security Program you may change this and decline the protection.
