Train Tours - VIA Rail:
CanRail Terms and Conditions

Here are some additional details on the use of your Canrailpass:

Tickets

Holders of a Canrailpass must obtain a ticket for every journey by presenting their Canrailpass to an authorized VIA sales agent.

The number of places available in Comfort class for Canrailpass holders is limited. We recommend advance booking.

A Canrailpass is not transferable. You must be prepared to show identification or sign your ticket on request.

Validity

The Canrailpass is valid for journeys on any VIA train, and on buses providing transfer between Moncton and Saint John. It is not valid on trains and buses that are listed in the VIA timetable but operated by other companies.

The Canrailpass is valid for 30 days. It entitles you to 12 days' travel in Comfort class over this 30-day period.

Extension: up to 3 days' extra travel can be purchased during the 30-day validity period. The refund terms that apply are the same as those for the regular Canrailpass.

Journeys for which you buy tickets with your Canrailpass must end before midnight on the last day of validity of your pass.

First class

As a Canrailpass holder, you are entitled to a seat in Comfort class (basic service).

For a surcharge, you can upgrade to first-class accommodation on other trains (Sleeper, VIA 1 class and so on). As a Canrailpass holder, you are eligible for any discounts available in first class, provided that applicable conditions are met.

During the peak summer season, an upgrade to Silver & Blue class (between Vancouver and Toronto) and to Totem and Totem Deluxe classes (between Prince Rupert and Jasper) can only be arranged in the 21 days prior to departure.
