Consult PASSENGERS' RIGHTS
Passengers must be informed in a clear and accessible way:
• before the journey, especially as regards the relevant conditions applicable to the ticket, the timetables, the fares applied, the conditions for access and assistance;
• during the journey and especially regarding delays or interruptions to the service;
• on the procedures relating to the presentation of complaints.
Should it be reasonably foreseeable, on departure or in the case of missing a connection or a service being cancelled, that the delay on arrival at the final destination envisaged by the ticket will be over 60 minutes, ITALO immediately offers the choice of the following options:
• the full reimbursement of the ticket; or
• continuation of the journey, on similar transport conditions and at no additional cost, to the final destination as soon as possible; or
• continuation of the journey, on similar transport conditions and at no additional cost, to the final destination on a subsequent date, at the passenger’s discretion.
In the case of a delay on arrival, passengers may on request obtain compensation as follows:
• 25% of the ticket price in the case of delay on arrival between 60 and 119 minutes;
• 50% of the ticket price in the case of delay on arrival of 120 minutes or more.
Compensation is not due, if the delay is due to causes beyond ITALO’s sphere of control (for example, extreme weather conditions, major natural disasters, serious healthcare crises, fault on the part of the passenger, presence of people on the tracks, etc.).
In the case of delay, passengers will be entitled to receive information on the situation and on the expected departure and arrival times.
Should it be reasonably foreseeable that the delay on arrival at the final destination as per the ticket will be more than 60 minutes, passengers will be entitled to:
• meals and drinks within a reasonable quantity;
• hotel or other accommodation, should a stay of one or more nights be necessary;
• if the train is blocked on the tracks, transport to the railway station, to an alternative departure point or to the final destination of the service.
In the case of delays, missed connections or cancellations, passengers will on request be entitled to the related certification.

In particular, for passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility there is the phone assistance of Pronto Italo 060708 for information, booking of the assistance service, and the sale (at no extra cost), change and reimbursement of tickets.
