General membership FAQ
How long does my membership last?​
Your membership lasts one year from the date of purchase. You can redeem your RailAid protection at any time within the year of your membership; this non-transferable benefit applies only to the primary ItaliaPass member and coverage begins on the date of your first rail trip. Your Italy Magazine Premium Membership expires one year after the date of your ItaliaPass purchase.
Is ItaliaPass available to travel agents?
ItaliaPass memberships are not available to travel agents or others working with multiple clients.
What if my plans change or I change my mind?
Our promise is that you’ll be delighted with your ItaliaPass membership and will get a lot of value and enjoyment from it. However, if your travel plans change or you change your mind about your membership, we’ll issue you a full refund for the purchase price up to one year after purchase, less any redeemed benefits.
How will I be identified as a member when contacting primo@italiapass.com?
Our team can easily identify you as an ItaliaPass member by your email address.

Benefit redemption FAQ
How do I receive my refunds on my rail and car rental orders?​
For bookings made on ItaliaRail your refund will be automatically processed within 2 business days.Â
For ItaliaDrive simply complete your booking and forward your booking confirmation to us so we can issue the designated refund to your credit card.
How do I receive my discounts on tours?
For tour bookings on ItaliaTours (note: this offer applies only to tours, not transfers), you can use your discount code to get a one-time $100 off your booking. For your 10% discount on tour bookings apply your Member ID on checkout.
Can I split my refund on rail between different purchases?​
We’ll deduct your ItaliaRail refund of $50 entirely from your initial purchase of $50 or more at ItaliaRail. Please note, we cannot divide this refund into smaller portions or distribute it across multiple purchases.
If your first purchase amount is less than the total refund, no credit for the remaining balance will be issued.
Can I combine my refunds with other offers?
Your ItaliaPass membership refunds cannot be combined with other offers.
What if more than one member is included in the same purchase?
The $50 refund from ItaliaRail is available once per member. If multiple ItaliaPass members are included in the same purchase, each member can claim their individual $50 refund for that same purchase.
The $100 refund from ItaliaTours is available once per member. To redeem the discount, each ItaliaPass member must place a separate order to receive their individual $100 refund.
However, if the total purchase price is less than the total of the refunds claimed, no credit will be issued for the difference.
The subsequent $5 refund on train tickets and 10% refund for tour purchases are issued per purchase, not per member. (For example, if more than one member is included in a subsequent rail ticket purchase, the refund is $5 on the overall purchase, not $5 per member).
How do I access wholesale pricing on hotels?
We partner with a broad network of the most popular hotels in Italy. Contact us to receive exclusive wholesale pricing on hotel stays, and we’ll work with you directly to secure the best rates.
Can I book my hotels first and then request a refund for the difference with wholesale pricing?
In order to secure your exclusive wholesale pricing, please contact us for assistance in booking your hotels. This will ensure you receive the best pricing available. We are unable to issue refunds for the wholesale pricing difference on hotels you have already booked on your own.
Who and what is covered under the RailAid protection plan?
RailAid benefits apply to the primary ItaliaPass member and one additional traveler. These benefits can be used for all orders placed with ItaliaRail within the membership period, but only within a single request. View more information about program coverage here. (Please note: the 3-month Italy Magazine Premium Membership benefit does not apply to ItaliaPass members; this benefit is included when RailAid is purchased on its own.) You can redeem your RailAid benefits here.
How do I find the ItaliaPass Lounge?
The ItaliaPass Lounge is located at the start of Track 25 in Rome’s Termini Station.
To reach the lounge from the main hall on the Piazza dei Cinqucento, walk all the way along the tracks to the right until you see the start of Track 25. The lounge is to the right, opposite Track 25 and near Tracks 26-29.
Please see a map to locate the lounge here.
If I am not going to use one of my benefits can I exchange it for another?
Unused ItaliaPass benefits cannot be exchanged for other benefits. Each benefit is fixed and cannot be substituted or swapped for a different one.
