How To Cancel My Flixbus Ticket? Cancellation and Refund Policy

Flixbus has been helping people in Europe since 2013. It’s a German brand and it offers intercity bus service in all of Europe and the United States. Flixbus, however, is not responsible for customers’ day-to-day routes. They do not own any buses and do not hire drivers.

It’s partnered with regional bus companies. But they are the ones who are in charge of marketing, permits, network planning, customer service, pricing, and quality management. And due to this reason, it is them that you should contact in case you need some changes with your booking reservation.

In this article, we’ll tell you the information you need to know if ever you want to cancel or change your bookings with Flixbus. Learn more about their Cancellation policy here.

Cancellation and Changing Policy with Flixbus

You can cancel your booking with Flixbus up to 15 minutes before your departure time. If you cancel your trip 30 days before your departure, it’s free. But if it’s less than 30 days, Flixbus will charge you cancellation fees. It varies on the date of your cancellation. Check the Cancellation Fee table here.

If in case you just want to change your booking (departure date or other information) it is also possible. You can also change your booking at least 15 minutes before your departure. Cancellation fees will be applied as well.
