National Express currently offer three different fare options:
- Fully Flexible - Amendable and refundable. For maximum flexibility, this ticket can be cancelled up to 72 hours prior to departure. Amendments can be made free of charge and at any time up until the scheduled departure time. As an added bonus, there are no restrictions on the number of amendments possible. Cancellations are subject to a £5 fee per passenger.
- Standard - Amendable and non-refundable. A great choice should you need to alter the time and date of travel. A fee of £5 is charged per person to alter a reservation. Should your new journey be more expensive, you will also be liable to pay the excess fare.
- Restricted - Not amendable, non-refundable and not eligible for use with discount cards. Available at the lowest prices, these tickets are a great choice for travelling on a budget.
If you are eligible for a refund, you can conveniently cancel your journey here.
