Renfe offers discounts and commercial advantages for travel by minors, as well as tickets for children that give the right to travel free of charge without occupying a seat, for which the commercial terms and conditions are set out in this regulation. For all tickets for children under 14 years of age, it is mandatory to fill in one of the contact details of the father, mother or guardian (at least the telephone number).

The passenger's personal data may be changed (national ID card number or identification document, name, surname, etc.) once subject to a variable fee depending on the price option chosen, as part of a specific change of holder process. The change of holder does not accept fare, train or schedule changes.
The change operation that allows the passenger to change train and date does cover changes to the ticket holder.
Tickets may be changed, except when some limitation applies to the ticket under the conditions of the price option or Special Fare.
Issuing the new ticket does not carry an administration fee; only the corresponding change fee has to be paid.
For changes to a cheaper ticket, the face value of the resulting ticket will be the same as the face value of the original ticket, with no refund owed to the customer.
For changes to a higher-priced ticket, the face value of the resulting ticket will be actual value of the new ticket.
Add-ons for improving change conditions are available for purchase, exclusively at the time of purchase of the ticket, and cannot be added later. When purchasing one of these add-ons, the customer has the option, within the deadlines established in each sales channel for these transactions, to make one change to their ticket and date subject to the change conditions determined by the type of add-on.
Add-ons to improve change conditions are inherited by the new ticket generated as part of the change. The value of the add-on in the original ticket is not refunded, rather it is consumed and the add-on is inherited by the new ticket at no cost.
Add-ons to improve change conditions do not include name changes for tickets.
The specific features of add-ons are as follows:
Add-on "Unlimited free changes"
"Puente AVE Changes" add-on (only for departure and arrival within Spain)
"Pack Superflex" add-on (only for departure and arrival within Spain)
In general, any ticket may be cancelled within the validity period, according to the provisions and deadlines established for each sales channel, unless specific limits are established in the terms and conditions of the price option or Special Fare to which the ticket is subject.
Tickets may only be cancelled when the selected price option includes this feature, or the add-on to improve cancellation conditions has been purchased, except for those fares that are expressly indicated.
During cancellation, the sale system will return the fare minus the percentage of the cancellation fee corresponding to the price option or add-on purchased.
Add-ons for improving cancellation conditions are available for purchase, exclusively at the time of purchase of the ticket, and cannot be added later. When purchasing this add-on, the passenger has the option, within the deadlines established in each sales channel for these transactions, to cancel the ticket subject to the cancellation conditions defined for the type of add-on.
When a ticket is cancelled, all of the associated add-ons are also cancelled, even if these have been purchased after the purchase of the ticket.
No refund will be made on the amount of the add-ons for improving cancellation conditions, while 100% of the amount of the other add-ons will be refunded.
No single add-ons can be cancelled. The specific features of add-ons are as follows:
"Refund" add-on
"Pack Superflex" add-on (only for departure and arrival within Spain)
For customers outside Spain, without access to the usual Renfe channels, should take account of the following to request the cancellation of tickets:
Claims may be submitted through the following means:
Passengers have 3 months from the end of the train journey to submit the claim.
When the train departs from the departure station with a delay of 60 minutes or more, customers can choose:
Passengers will not be entitled to compensation if they are sufficiently informed of the expected delay before purchasing the ticket, or after having purchased the ticket but sufficiently in advance of the journey.
Regardless of the cause of the delay, the following compensation shall apply:
Spanish interior route:
French interior route:
International route:
Renfe guarantees the connection between international trains and all AVE (high-speed), Larga Distancia (Long Distance), Avant (mid-distance high-speed) and Regional trains, when the time between arrival and departure is 60 minutes or more, or 90 minutes or more when arrival and departure are at different stations in the same municipality and a rail link between them exists.
If a connection is missed due to delay, passengers will have the right to a free ticket for the next train, in addition to compensation for delayed arrival at their destination. If passengers decide to abandon their onward journey, they will be entitled to a return journey to their departure station free of charge and they will receive a refund of the ticket price.
For the purposes of compensation for delay, the time of arrival at the passenger's final destination will be taken into account, applying to the initial train and the connecting train the compensation provided for in the previous section for international routes. Therefore, no compensation will be payable in the event of delay on intermediate journeys.
For routes with departure and arrival in Spain, compensation can be settled quickly (starting 24 hours after the arrival of the train) via the website's automatic compensation system, at Customer Service offices and Service Centres at stations, or at other points of sale such as ticket offices and travel agencies.
For all departure and arrival points, compensation can be collected within three months of the date on which the refund is authorised. This will be done by the Service Centre authorising the corresponding non-sale transaction. Agencies, in this case, will need authorisation from the After-Sales Department.
The payment of compensation refund amounts will be made via the same payment method used for the purchase.
No automatic or non-sale compensation payments will be made for tickets issued by other railway networks. In these cases, customers will be informed that they can request the corresponding refund through the railway that issued the ticket or submit a written claim.
In accordance with the legislation that regulates Compulsory Passenger Insurance, passengers with tickets for Spanish domestic routes and passengers with international tickets that depart from Spain and arrive in France, as well as passengers with departure from France and arrival in Spain, are covered by this insurance.
Passengers with a ticket for a French domestic route are only covered by civil liability insurance.
The Interrail pass will be presented along with an ID card with photograph to any authorised agent who requests it; failure to comply with this requirement will mean that the passenger will be deemed to travelling without a ticket.
Interrail is valid for the class indicated on the pass. With a 2nd class pass you can travel in 1st class, paying the price difference, at the full fare.
Flexible pass holders must indicate the date of travel before starting the journey in the corresponding box; it must be written with black or blue permanent pen, in the form (dd/mm), for example, May 7 = 07/05.
The trip is valid from midnight of the chosen day. If you start the journey on a direct night train departing after 7.00 p.m. and arriving after 4.00 a.m., only the date of the day of departure must be shown. The same process applies when travelling by ferry, included in the Pass.
No pass can be used before midnight on the first day of validity; the right to travel expires at midnight on the last day of validity.
The pass will be presented stapled on a cover, which describes the main points of the conditions for use, together with a form for the registration of the Global Pass holder details and a Travel Journal that must be completed with the information regarding the journeys, which will be checked by the control staff.
The following will be considered as fraud: travelling with a pass with the altered date, showing a photocopy instead of the original, the pass being used by a different person or travelling outside the validity period.
For trains or ferries that so require, the seat reservation, lying seat supplement, cabin use in shipping companies, port fee, etc. must be purchased, for this it will be essential to present the pass that is valid on the date of travel requested.
For journeys by AVE, Alvia, Euromed and Intercity of holders of an Interrail pass that is valid for travel on Renfe, a fixed supplement will continue to be paid depending on the price option chosen to travel. The Elige, Elige Confort y Prémium options will be offered.
No duplicate pass can be issued, even in the event of deterioration, theft or loss.
There are a series of mandatory criteria at the time of purchase.
A number of steps are required for cancellation.
Unusual situations include:
This rule applies to purchases made as part of the commercial agreement with Iberia for international air traffic that starts or ends their journey on Renfe trains.
The product will be available via all of Iberia's usual sales channels (iberia.com and GDS).
Ave, Alvia and Intercity services as determined as part of the following relationships:
All classes and trains of the above services can be sold. The intermodal product will have two possible comfort classes:
A single ticket for both types of transports for international one-way or round-trip travel. Issued as an "Electronic ticket and itinerary" document by Iberia's booking engine. For rail transport, each direction of travel, round trip or return, will be considered separately (one way). In addition to the ticket, to access each means of transport, it is necessary to issue and present the corresponding boarding pass.
Iberia will issue an IB-075 e-ticket, which comes in A4 format and consists of several different sections:
To travel using each form of travel, the customer must hold the corresponding boarding pass:
Those permitted by Iberia. In the field corresponding to the price of the AVE or LD boarding pass, the R.I.T. caption will appear and "Virtual Agency" as the form of payment.
Currently, the purchase of this intermodal ticket does not allow customers to benefit from Renfe's loyalty programme.
They will always be associated with the terms and conditions of the applicable airfare, and can only be purchased through the channels determined by Iberia. Information about these operations and, if applicable, their formalisation, can be requested by telephone on Serviberia's number 901 111 500.
Under no circumstances can these transactions be carried out at Renfe points of sale.
The "Missed Trains" benefit does not apply. However, the customer will be informed of the possibility of calling 901 111 500 to request information about the possibility of changes, cancellations or postponements, corresponding to the customer's airfare applied on the intermodal ticket.
Renfe-IberIa intermodal tickets do not allow the extension of their rail route on the way or class upgrades in the train journey.
No groups are allowed.
The following pricing groups are established for these intermodal tickets with regards assigning a seat and applying discounts:
- From 0 to younger than 2 years on the date of travel. Free, not occupying a seat. Occupying a seat, they will pay the price of the fare for 2-year olds.
- 2 to 11 years old. They will receive a discount, depending on the conditions of the flight. They will occupy a seat.
In all cases, they must carry their corresponding personal intermodal ticket.
Airlines set certain restrictions for travel with newborns, seat occupancy for children under 2 years of age or children travelling alone. In addition, depending on the country of departure or arrival of the journey, specific requirements and need for documentation are established; the traveller will be responsible for knowing and meeting such requirements.
For train travel, the provisions of the regulations regarding the occupation of seats shared with children shall apply: maximum 2 people per seat.
No unaccompanied minor travel services will be provided during trips on trains or aeroplanes.
Please note that the intermodal ticket does not allow pets.
In this type of trip, an individual ticket must be purchased for both passenger and pet, for each trip and from each company, since pets are not included in this Shared Code Agreement.
*Notice: For safety reasons, from 12 December 2023 onwards, passengers will not be allowed to board the train with electric scooters, unicycles or similar vehicles. This does not apply to vehicles for people with reduced mobility, or to electric bicycles.
When travelling by train, passengers may carry, under their custody and at their own responsibility, in the locations designated for this purpose, luggage that does not contravene the security provisions established in the corresponding laws and regulations and does not represent a danger or inconvenience to other passengers.
For each intermodal ticket, the hand baggage, check-in baggage or special baggage allowed under the applicable airfare shall be accepted, provided that for your trip by train, you meet the following requirements:
Passengers shall be responsible for consulting and fulfilling the airline's requirements in relation to the nature, price, size and weight of their luggage, as well as the legislation of the countries of departure and arrival, for all aspects relating to transport by plane.
Concerning travel by train, only one special item of luggage may be transported per traveller, which shall include:
Golf, ski and sport fishing equipment must travel in the corresponding bag, which must be perfectly closed, in such a way as to prevent the movement of the elements inside.
The passenger carrying special luggage may only carry on one "hand luggage" item that may not exceed 55 x 35 x 25 cm (height-width-depth).
If assistance is required for people with disabilities or reduced mobility, it must be requested separately from each company:
In certain cases that require specialist care, airlines request medical authorisation for the passenger to travel or the presence of a companion.
Also, there are certain restrictions and recommendations concerning the travel of pregnant women depending on the completed weeks of pregnancy. Passengers will be responsible for consulting and fulfilling the necessary requirements in relation to their air travel.
When travelling by train, seat H is not available for sale.
Guide and assistance dogs traveling with the passenger, without occupying a seat, will be admitted free of charge. Certified instructors may travel with a service animal under the same conditions.
They must be adequately accredited and comply with the legislation in force in the country of departure and in the country of arrival. Some countries do not allow the transport of animals, even guide dogs.
Currently, tickets with in-seat food and drinks will not be provided for passengers with an intermodal ticket.
Passengers who are participants of the Más Renfe loyalty programme can access the Renfe Club Lounges under the conditions established by the programme for each of the Más Renfe (loyalty programme) levels, when they hold an intermodal ticket for any type of seat and provided that the name of the holder is the same as that of the Más Renfe (loyalty programme) card. To access the lounge, you will be required to accredit yourself as an intermodal customer and present your Más Renfe loyalty document.
These tickets, regardless of the class in which you travel and the customer's participation in the loyalty programme, shall not include voucher parking.
Customers, at boarding control or en route on-board the train, must present their boarding pass for the train and must keep it with them until the end of their trip. They may also be required to present an identity document accrediting them as the holder of the boarding pass.
If they are unable to present any of the documents indicated at the boarding control, and the customer wishes to travel by train, they will be told that they must acquire the corresponding ticket as they do not have a valid ticket to travel.
If the passenger cannot provide any of the above documents on the train, they will be considered as a passenger without a valid ticket to travel.
Passengers will be responsible for consulting and satisfying the requirements regarding the personal and transport documentation required for their trip by plane, which may vary depending on their nationality, age, reason for travel, as well as the countries of departure and arrival. This control will only be carried out by Iberia.
The connection of passengers under this intermodal ticket is guaranteed, pursuant to the terms provided in these conditions:
In case of a delay in one of the services, if the passenger is unable to use the leg of the other service, the latter company shall facilitate the trip contracted at no additional cost using the means it deems appropriate.
Should the customer fail to board the train connection as a result of an incident in the aeroplane service, Renfe will provide a new reservation on the first train with available seats at no additional cost. The new reservation will be made in the same class or a higher class, depending on seat availability.
In case the passenger misses the connection, the passenger will be entitled to receive assistance with regards to transport, accommodation, meals, etc., as established in the air transport regulations.
As regards rail service, the compensation provided for in the Regulations of the Railway Sector Act shall apply, unless in cases of force majeure.
The voluntary punctuality commitments shall not apply.
Each company will be responsible for handling and processing complaints, according to the service where the incident originated.
The customer may lodge a complaint/claim through the Customer Service Form on the Renfe website or using an Official complaints form, available on board the train, Service Centres and
Customer Service Offices, with a period of two years for submitting the complaint after the date of completion of the trip.
All complaints will be filed in writing; the automatic compensation system cannot be used in such cases.
Renfe Viajeros' (Renfe Passengers) commercial offer establishes special conditions for transfers with guaranteed connections, with a single ticket and competitive prices for passengers, as established in the Integrated Ticket between different national routes and departure and arrival stations.
In addition, the connection will be guaranteed for passengers who have purchased an Integrated Ticket, provided that the passenger has the tickets covering the journey from the departure and arrival stations, including all legs of the journey, and that there is a period of time of at least 60 minutes (when changing to a different train at the same station) or of at least 90 minutes (when changing to a different train between two stations in the same municipality) between the theoretical time of arrival of the inbound train and the time of departure of the outbound train.
Tickets purchased independently for each leg of the journey will be classified as a different transport contract and the connection will not be guaranteed if the above requirement is not met.
The connection guarantee does not extend to the Cercanías and Metric Gauge services with each other, nor does it extend to these with the rest of the services.
Passengers with a guaranteed connection ticket must make their own way between stations in the same city, except where there is a Renfe train or alternative service, such as in Valencia, where tickets will be valid for the journey between both stations.
If a connection is lost due to failure by Renfe Viajeros, passengers will have the right to a free ticket for the next train, in addition to compensation for delayed arrival at their destination. If passengers decide to abandon their onward journey, their return journey to their departure station will be free and they will receive a refund of the ticket price.
In order to benefit from a guaranteed connection, passengers must have their tickets on them from their departure until their final destination for each journey leg.
This regulation regulates how passengers who, for reasons not attributable to Renfe, miss their train at the station at which their trip begins are offered the possibility of continuing their journey, under specific conditions, on the next train with free seats.
AVE and Larga Distancia (long distance high-speed) services on domestic routes, with the exception of passengers whose ticket expressly indicates that this provision is not included.
Applicable to customers of the AVE (high-speed), AVE (high-speed) International on routes with departure and arrival within Spain, Alvia, Euromed and Intercity services, who have a valid ticket for a specific day, train and route, with certain price options, and present themselves at the departure station shown on the ticket for that journey after the train has departed and within a maximum of 30 minutes from the train's scheduled departure time.
Renfe will offer the option of travelling on another train that serves the same route as the original ticket, paying a supplement established for this purpose, with the options indicated below:
The train offered can be indistinctly any train of the AVE products, AVE Internacional on routes to and from Spain, Alvia, Euromed or Intercity, applying the conditions described above.
The customer's decision to accept or reject any of these options does not entitle them to any other type of additional compensation, nor to the claim any expenses that may be incurred as a result of their decisions.
Customers who miss the train must go to the Renfe Customer Service Office, if there is one, for the issue of a new ticket to be authorised. If there is no customer service office, customers may obtain the new ticket directly from the ticket office at the departure station for the ticket.
For the new ticket purchased, only the pet complement and bicycle complement will be offered.
The conditions for using the new ticket are those corresponding to the price option and, where appropriate, the corresponding supplements, regardless of the services originally arranged by the customer.
The amount to be paid shall be a percentage of the dynamic price of the new ticket purchased. If the new ticket corresponds to a higher price option than the original ticket, an additional payment for this concept shall also be required.
The price options providing cover for "Missed trains", as well as the amount to be paid for the new ticket purchased, are as follows:
The new ticket cannot be changed or cancelled.
Nor can the passenger name be changed or new "Missed Trains" cover provided.
If the train corresponding to the new ticket has any incidents for which the customer is entitled to compensation, these guarantees will only cover the amount paid for the new ticket.
If the passenger does not accept the offer made by Renfe to allow them to continue their trip, the provisions of the general terms and conditions of the transport agreements regarding the non-occupation of the seat at the departure station, featuring on the ticket, shall apply.
By 2023 and for a period of three years, a number of rail services will be subject to public service obligations under the local rail passenger service, creating a new commercial product called "Proximity".
The Proximity service includes rail lines with intermediate frequencies between the Cercanías (Commuter) and the Media Distancia (Mid-distance) services subject to public service obligations (OSP).
Proximity Services within the established rail links include Conventional Iberian gauge Mid-distance Regional trains and Commercial Services trains (with or without seat reservation, depending on the characteristics of the train) where one or both of the stations of departure and arrival are outside the Cercanías (Commuter) nodes, and between stations in different nodes, and on these routes any of the modalities of the commercial offer of the proximity service may be used.
Details of the Proximity Service are given at the end of this section.
The basic fare is the T-1 fare for Regional train services on the Iberian gauge. The maximum authorised prices are set per kilometre interval, up to a maximum of 120 km.
The authorised prices are the only starting points for calculating the reduced fares.
The entire Commercial Offer of Mid-distance Regional trains with T-1 Fare will be applied, including multi-journey tickets.
Depending on usage and in accordance with the terms of use of each train, tickets may be:
ONE-WAY tickets: They entitle a single person to travel on a single route and date, by train or additional route. When these tickets are named, they will be personal and non-transferable.
RETURN tickets: Valid for one person making a return journey using the same station of departure and arrival (discount on the price of two single tickets).
GROUP tickets: They entitle more than one person to travel on the same route and date on a single ticket, by train or additional route. These tickets are multi-person.
COMBINED tickets: They formalise different transport contracts and entitle the ticket holder to travel on different modes of transport, including, where appropriate, other associated services, in a single ticket. When these tickets are named, they will be personal and non-transferable.
MULTIPLE-JOURNEY tickets: They entitle the ticket holder to undertake several journeys, either a limited or unlimited number, during the validity period. These tickets may be single-person or multi-person. When they are single-person and named, they will be personal and non-transferable.
The multi-journey tickets valid for travel on the Proximity Service are:
Simultaneous or consecutive purchase of multiple tickets is not valid at a lower price for the same journey, train and date.
For services subject to public service obligations, promotional or discounted prices are calculated based solely on the prices authorised by the central government. In general, for services subject to public service obligations, discounts cannot combined with other commercial offers, unless expressly specified, in which case the combination of discounts or offers will only be allowed under the terms established in the terms and conditions for the commercial product.
Spanish Large Family reductions can be combined with any other discount on the applicable fare, except in the case of products, services or offers established under an agreement, or any that are used or paid on a non-individual basis.
Tickets for the use of these services can be purchased through the usual sales channels: ticket offices at stations, self-service machines, the Renfe website and App.
Multi-journey tickets are only sold at stations: ticket offices and self-service machines (this operation is not available in the remote service "Ares" in the stations) and via the Renfe website.
Renfe Viajeros (Renfe Passengers) will be able to market, through a local distribution system and other media (e.g. contactless cards), commercial products that require it due to their characteristics, as the specific tickets for the University of Rabanales are currently marketed.
Occupying a seat means that the customer exercises their right to sit in a seated space, with or without a guaranteed seat, on a specific train and route, by purchasing a valid ticket, depending on the service offered in each case.
In Proximity Services of Mid-distance Regional trains without assigned seating, the customer can occupy a seat, if free, or travel standing.
In general, the Proximity Service will not have reserved seating. It will only be offered on those Proximity rail services that are so arranged due to the characteristics of the commercial train.
For formalisation of international passes:: Eurail Range Passes, InterRail Range Passes, FIP Leisure, Reduction Card, FIP Service and Free Circulation Card, the price of the seat reservation is set at 4 euros.
Formalisation means the completion of a journey, at least with the date of travel and the train by which the journey is to be made. Each journey must be validated; max. one passenger per train and day.
In the case of multi-journey tickets, the act of discounting or marking a journey is considered a cancellation.
The purchased ticket must be carried on a carrier approved by Renfe Viajeros (Renfe Passengers), formalised or validated if necessary, with the original valid documents confirming the identity of the passenger and with the identification documents justifying the discount to which he/she is entitled.
Multi-journey tickets can be purchased at the ticket office or from the self-service machines in the stations. Also on the Renfe website APP and on the Renfe website. In this case, you must be registered as a user at www.renfe.com.
For Proximity Service rail services where tickets are loaded onto a contactless card, cancellation must be effected before the start and end of the journey at the machines provided at the stations.
If these are not available, the journey will be cancelled by the ticket inspectors on the train. Cancellations are noted on the contactless card.
Formalisation is free of charge for purchased origins and destinations and authorised trains, and must be accompanied by the Pass of which the passenger is the holder.
The staff in charge of boarding control and supervision/inspection on the train must ensure that the passenger holding a ticket covered by this regulation has boarded the train with his ticket duly formalised or validated. They must also ensure that the holder of the multi-journey ticket is identical and can produce an identity document proving the requirement for a reduction in the price of the multi-journey ticket.
Passengers boarding the train without proper formalisation/validation will be considered as passengers without a valid ticket.
If it is found that the ticket is being used fraudulently or that the possession of the Pass does not correspond to the identification presented, the ticket inspectors/supervisors on the train will act without prejudice to the measures or sanctions provided for in the General Terms and Conditions of Transport Contracts of Renfe Viajeros (Renfe Passengers), and will proceed to:
In both cases, both the physical medium and the locator will be sent to the service department of the territorial administration of the public service of the corresponding territory for cancellation.
A passenger shall also be deemed to be a passenger without a ticket valid for travel in the following cases:
If the passenger boards the train at a station without staff and without any mechanical or electronic means of formalising/validating the journey, the ticket inspectors/supervisors on the train must do so.
Passengers can extend their journey by paying a single ticket at the basic train fare for the new route, as long as they have informed the staff in charge of supervision/intervention on the route and there are seats available.
The customer will be charged the full cost of the journey from the point of departure to the destination, less the amount previously paid for the journey originally purchased.
If the passenger does not request the extension in advance and pay the fare to the inspector en route, according to the chosen conditions, they will be considered to be travelling without a valid ticket for the extended part of the route.
The provisions for travel by minors apply. On Proximity Services combined with a Commercial Services train, minors under 14 years of age must travel accompanied by an adult, i.e. a person who is at least 14 years of age, and the sale of a ticket to an unaccompanied minor under 14 years of age is not permitted, regardless of whether a child fare or an adult fare is used.
Generally, the Proximity Service will not have an "H" seat or assistance service for passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility. It will only be provided on those Proximity rail services that are so designated due to their characteristics.
All other General Terms and Conditions, commercial offers, commercial contracts and contracts with public bodies shall be governed by the provisions of the respective Special Fares or General Terms and Conditions.
During the period of marketing of the free passes for regular passengers, known as Free Pass and Child Free Pass, these passes will be valid for all trains of the Proximity Service. In addition, during this period, the sale of all multi-journey tickets for these services will be suspended, applying the "abuse" measures applicable to the Free Pass.
Anything not included in this regulation is governed by the corresponding Special Fares or by the General Terms and Conditions of Renfe Viajeros Transport Contracts.

The contactless card version of this chip/smart card can be used to add authorised tickets, making it easier for passengers to pass through the boarding control points. It replaces the usual hard copies of tickets with a magnetic stripe. However, it is not a payment card.
There are two card types: Personalised and Non-Personalised. Both reusable and rechargeable. They let passengers check all the stored information and the tickets never expire as a medium.
Scope of application. Cercanías (Commuter) trains of the hub from which the ticket is purchased.
Personal cards bear cardholder details and their photo.
Suitable for loading all ticket types at the Cercanías (Commuter) hub.

New tickets can be purchased and additional ones can be added at the ticket offices of the Cercanías (Commuter) stations and at Cercanías (Commuter) self-service machines.
Suitable for adding any non-personalised ticket (one-way ticket, return ticket and Bonotren).
It does not accept tickets with discounts, except in the following exceptional cases:
The non-personalised card can be purchased at the ticket offices of the Cercanías (Commuter) stations, from the self-service machines of the Cercanías (Commuter) trains and even on board the train. New tickets can be purchased and additional ones can be added at the ticket offices of the Cercanías (Commuter) stations and at Cercanías (Commuter) self-service machines.
The Personalised and Non-Personalised "Tarjeta Renfe & Tú" cards can be used to store tickets and do not expire.
Mo more than two identical Multi-trip Tickets can be added to the "+Renfe & Tú" Contactless Card, which have the same number of zones and the same origin-destination, so the ticket can be added before the valid ticket expires. Only the valid ticket can be used at the time of cancellation. It is used to add another identical ticket before the valid ticket expires.
Both the Personalised and Non-Personalised Contactless Cards allow two overlapping Bonotren to be added.
The validity of the tickets will be determined by the terms and conditions established in the current regulations.
Passengers, at boarding control or en route, need to show the "Tarjeta Renfe & Tú" card alongside the booking validation and valid documents proving they are eligible for the discounts, and keep them until the end of the journey. In addition, train or station staff may ask the Contactless Card holders to show their ID document.
If a passenger boards the train without a valid ticket, the intervention/supervision personnel on board must apply the provisions for "Passengers without a valid ticket - Route extension - Class upgrade".
Cercanías (Commuter) tickets added to the Contactless Card accept this and the passenger may extend their trip inside and outside the hub, but must inform and validate their situation at the departure station. In turn, the Multi-trip Tickets allow route extensions on the Cercanías (Commuter) hub only.
In any case, a complementary ticket must be paid.
All other cases will be subject to the provisions for "Passengers without a valid ticket - Route extension - Class upgrade".
Personalised "Tarjeta Renfe & Tú" card
The customer will request a form from the staff at the ticket offices in stations to obtain the duplicate of the "Tarjeta Renfe & Tú" card (keeping the original passenger number) and be asked to pay for the corresponding amount.
If a valid ticket is added to a damaged, stolen or lost card, the passenger must visit the ticket office of the station from which the new card was requested when he/she receives the new card. The station will contact the Cercanías (Commuter) hub and add part of the ticket, corresponding to the new card, at no cost to the passenger.
In the case of faulty Tarjeta Renfe & Tú cards, the ticket office will report the incident to the Cercanías (Commuter) hub and send the request for a duplicate of the Tarjeta Renfe & Tú card signed by the passenger, indicating the anomaly detected. This will be processed for the passenger at no cost.
In all other cases, the procedure for damaged, stolen or lost cards described in the previous paragraphs will be applied.
Non-Personalised "Tarjeta Renfe & Tú" card
In case of damage, theft or loss, the passenger must purchase a new card.
If the card is damaged due to improper use, no tickets will be replaced. If the card is not damaged because of its misuse, the ticket office will contact the Cercanías (Commuter) hub, which will provide the necessary details, so part of the ticket is added to the new card.
In the event of a malfunctioning non-personalised card, it will only be replaced at no cost if it stops working while it is in good condition and no damage or deterioration is observed, also replacing unused tickets, if possible. In any case, the passenger will be asked to pay for a new card.
