Wanderu is a bus and train travel search website, and all tickets are booked directly with our travel partners.

Tickets will be subject to the carriers' terms and conditions as specified on the checkout page.
Changes, cancellations, and refund requests for tickets must be made directly with the carrier that you are traveling on, with a few exceptions.

As per our partners' policies, most tickets are non-refundable. However, you may be able to change the ticket depending on the carrier's ticket change policy for a fee.
