Can I get a refund at the Scandinavia Express terminal or regional offices?
Yes. For unrestricted tickets, the original purchaser may obtain a refund at the location in which the ticket was purchased.


I lost my ticket. How do I receive a refund?
In accordance with our Terms and Conditions, Scandinavia Express Services is not liable for lost, stolen, or destroyed tickets.


I have a partially used ticket. How do I receive a refund?
A "partially used ticket" means you purchased a ticket and did not complete the trip prior to the final destination. Partially used one-way tickets are not refundable. Partially used round trip-tickets may be submitted for refund when either the going or return portion is completely unused. Refunds will be based on the fare paid minus the one-way fare plus a cancellation penalty. The penalty is based upon the amount of notice provided when the booking was cancelled. See our Refund information in Term and Conditions. If both the going and return portions are partially used the ticket has no refund value.
