Because we want to provide you with the best possible information about your international train tickets, we have made a list of the various fare types and the respective fare conditions for you.
There are two types of international train tickets: those for trains that require a reservation, and those that do not.
High-speed trains, such as the Eurostar and TGV, generally require that passengers reserve a seat, and the tickets are only valid for the specific train, date and class booked, unless otherwise stated in the fare conditions.
International tickets for trains that do not require a reservation, such as the Intercity and local trains, are limited to a specific route, but not to a specific departure time or train, unless otherwise stated in the fare conditions. These international train tickets are valid for a maximum of one day and the validity period is specified on the ticket.
If you have reserved a seat, we ask that you be seated in your reserved seat within 15 minutes of boarding the train. If you do not do so, the Train Manager may give your seat to another passenger.
A Mobile Ticket is a ticket that you can save in the NS International App and display on the screen of your smartphone. If you book a Mobile Ticket for a journey starting at your departure station, then you do not need to check in and out. If you need to pass through access gates or show your ticket, simply use the Mobile Ticket barcode on your smartphone screen. You will receive an e-mail confirmation with a link to the Mobile Subject to alterations Ticket. Opening this link on your smartphone will automatically download and save the Mobile Ticket in the NS International App under ‘My Bookings’. Mobile Tickets are subject to the standard fare conditions.
Homeprint tickets must be printed on A4 paper before you begin your journey. You will receive an e-mail confirmation of your homeprint booking, which also includes a button that lets you print your homeprint ticket.
The following rules apply:
You can book your Eurostar ticketless journey via NSInternational.nl, NS International Customer Service, the NS International service desk in the service shop, or via your travel agent. The following supplemental terms and conditions apply to ticketless travel with Club Eurostar:

The more expensive rates for TGV service are subject to fairly lenient conditions for exchanges and refunds. As a result, some travellers do not feel a need to cancel their tickets prior to departure. In order to fill seats left empty by ‘no-show’ passengers, you may be offered an overbook ticket if your requested train is fully booked. An overbook ticket is a reservation without a seat assignment. In consultation with the Train Managers, you may be seated in an unoccupied seat, or if none are available, on one of the folding seats at the front and rear of the train. These tickets can be recognised by the notification ‘No seating reservation’.
If you have purchased a ticket, but were prevented from travelling shortly before the departure time, you may be able to request a refund via your original sales point under certain conditions. You can find out which conditions apply to your ticket in the fare tables on this page.
Refunds for partially unused tickets doesn't apply to Mobile/homeprint Tickets. Other tickets may be sent to NS International Customer Service, P.O. Box 2552, 3500 GN Utrecht, up to two months after the start date on the ticket. The ticket must be stamped by authorised railway personnel or accompanied by documents, such as proof of alternative travel. Cost: €15 minimum per ticket.
You may take a bicycle to France on standard trains via the Roosendaal or Visé border routes, as well as Antwerp–Lille. One-way bicycle tickets are € 12 and return tickets are € 24.
For the Intercity Brussels, a maximum limit of 4 bicycles per train applies (bicycle spots cannot be reserved).
Bicycles may only be brought aboard Eurostar trains if both wheels have been removed and if the bicycle is transported in a special bicycle cover (max. 135 x 85 x 30 cm). Folding bicycles are permitted if they are folded up and transported in a cover.
In France, bicycles are permitted in most regular trains.

You can also call NS International Customer Service on 030 – 230 00 23 or visit the NS International service desk in the service shop at most major stations.
It is always a good idea to take out a travel insurance policy when you travel. Travel insurance provides you with security in the event that you need medical assistance, are involved in an accident or lose your luggage.
Certain types of fares are subject to high cancellation fees. It is therefore recommended that you purchase cancellation insurance in advance.
Each train type has different facilities for transporting luggage. Travellers are required to label their luggage with their first and last name when they are travelling by train to and in France.

Passengers may bring their pet with them in the train when travelling to certain European countries, subject to strict conditions. Your veterinarian can inform you about the documents necessary for travelling with your pet.

Under certain circumstances, travellers may be eligible for compensation in the event that their international train experiences a delay. One of these conditions is that the delay must involve a cross-border route. The compensation is calculated based on the price of a single ticket, including surcharges, but excluding booking fees or transaction fees. Compensation is usually paid out in the form of a debit to the traveller’s bank account. Compensation requests can be sent to the railway company from which you purchased your ticket, or one of the carriers involved in your international journey.If you purchased your ticket from NS International, you must submit a compensation request within three months of your journey.
