I don't have the option to include Trainline Ticket Cover to my booking. Why?
If the option to add Cancel for Any Reason is not visible during your booking, it likely means that you or your journey does not meet one or more of the eligibility criteria.
We understand this may be disappointing. However, while it may not be available right now, we are growing quickly and hope to make it accessible to more journeys in the future.
If you believe you meet the eligibility requirements but are still unable to add the insurance, please get in touch via our chat and we will be happy to look into this for you.
