How To Cancel My Flixbus Ticket? Cancellation and Refund Policy

By: Fatima Turla

Flixbus has been helping people in Europe since 2013. It’s a German brand and it offers intercity bus service in all of Europe and the United States. Flixbus, however, is not responsible for customers’ day-to-day routes. They do not own any buses and do not hire drivers.

It’s partnered with regional bus companies. But they are the ones who are in charge of marketing, permits, network planning, customer service, pricing, and quality management. And due to this reason, it is them that you should contact in case you need some changes with your booking reservation.
