If you purchased an Economy or Low Cost ticket, you will need to pay a fee to change the date or time of your trip.

All Italo tickets are issued in the name of the passenger and cannot be transferred or used by anyone else in your name. Depending on the ticket tariff chosen, you may be able to change the name of the passenger prior to travel. Please note that our onboard staff may ask you to provide proof of identity.

To get aboard Italo you must be in possession of a named ticket valid for route, date and time of departure and arrival, train number, number of Travelers, travel class, assigned seat and any services you have chosen at the time of purchase. If you have to leave, but do not yet have a ticket, up to three minutes before departure, you can also contact Italo staff.

- The leg of the journey affected by the delay or cancellation
- The entire journey if you no longer need to reach your final destination. In this case, you can also ask to return to your departure point via the first Italo train available

You can choose to complete your journey towards your destination either:
- By means of a service replacement solution if offered, or with the first available Italo train
- By choosing to travel at a later date

Between 60 and 119 minutes of arrival delay, Italo automatically grants you a compensation equal to 25% of the ticket fare.
