Ticket Change Policies by Carrier in North America

If you have already booked your tickets and are unsure whether to go through with the trip, you may have the option to change your reservation at no additional fee or cancel your trip for a full refund depending on the carrier you are traveling with.

Please keep in mind that Wanderu is an online search platform and we do not have any authority to process or authorize refunds or ticket changes outside of carriers’ official policies.

Many carriers are facing extreme call volumes at the moment. If your trip is not within the next seven days, please consider delaying reaching out, so that customer service representatives can help those whose trips are scheduled to depart sooner. Thank you!

Trip Protection & Peace of Mind

We realize that news about COVID-19 may have you weighing whether or not to book a trip, given the uncertainty of the situation. It may alleviate some of your concerns to know that Wanderu offers travel insurance.

If you are a U.S. resident, for every bus and train trip available to book on Wanderu, you have the option to purchase trip protection from our partners at Allianz Global Assistance. To do so, just search for a trip as you would normally do on Wanderu. Once you get to the checkout page, you will find a Trip Protection box that provides a quote and offers you the opportunity to insure your booking.

Allianz Global Assistance’s trip protection plan can provide protection if your trip is cancelled, interrupted or delayed for a variety of covered reasons. Terms and exclusions (including for pre existing conditions) apply. Check out the full plan details and disclosures.

Keep in mind that claims due to known, foreseeable, or expected events, epidemics, or fear of travel are generally not covered, and coverage can vary by state. For information about COVID-19, please read the U.S. coverage alert.

For any questions about Trip Protection, please contact Allianz Global Assistance.
