About Railcard

Railcard is the official retailer of National Rail Railcards in the UK, sold at railcard.co.uk and through the Railcard mobile app. Each Railcard gives the holder 1/3 off most rail fares (or 50% on selected fares for the 16-17 Saver) on Standard Anytime, Off-Peak and Advance tickets across the National Rail network. Over 20 million people in Great Britain are eligible for a Railcard across the 16-25, 26-30, Senior, Two Together, Family & Friends, Disabled Persons, Network, 16-17 Saver, Veterans, HM Forces and Highland card ranges. Pair the latest one-year or three-year purchase with a Railcard discount code from this page to bring the upfront cost down further.

Railcard Card Types and Eligibility

Each Railcard targets a specific eligibility group, with a one-year or three-year option at checkout, and a Railcard voucher code from this page can apply at the basket alongside the published price.

• 16-25 Railcard: 1/3 off most rail fares for those aged 16-25 and mature students over 25 in full-time study with proof; £30 for one year, £70 for three years.
• 26-30 Railcard: 1/3 off most rail fares for those aged 26-30; one-year and three-year options available.
• Senior Railcard: 1/3 off Standard and First Class Anytime, Off-Peak and Advance fares for those aged 60 and over; £35 for one year, £80 for three years.
• Two Together Railcard: 1/3 off rail fares for two named people travelling together, with an average annual saving of around £104 plus partner discounts.
• Family & Friends Railcard: 1/3 off adult fares and 60% off children's fares for groups travelling with at least one child aged 5-15.

• Veterans and HM Forces Railcards: 1/3 off adult fares plus discounts on children's tickets for veterans, regular Armed Forces, Volunteer Reserves and their spouses or civil partners.

Railcard Digital and Physical Delivery

Customers can choose between three delivery options at checkout, and a Railcard discount code applied at the basket does not affect the chosen delivery option or its charge.

• Digital Railcard: Instant delivery by email with a download code, redeemed in the Railcard app on iOS and Android; no postage fee.
• Physical Railcard: Standard postal delivery to the cardholder's home address, typically within a few working days.
• Station Collection: Same-day collection at a staffed National Rail station with no delivery fee, available on selected card types.
• Validity: 12 months for one-year cards or 36 months for three-year cards from the start date entered at checkout.

Railcard Partner Offers

Beyond the 1/3 off rail fare benefit, every Railcard unlocks partner discounts on dining, accommodation, attractions and entertainment through the Railcard Savings hub on the website. Cardholders log in to the Railcard account or sign in to the app to access partner codes and links across UK chains and independent operators. A Railcard voucher code from this page applies at the basket on the Railcard purchase itself rather than on these partner perks, with one promo code permitted per Railcard order.

Railcard Refunds and Replacements

Railcard handles refunds and replacements through dedicated processes, and a Railcard discount code applied to the original purchase does not affect refund eligibility.

• Unused Cards: Refunds are not generally offered on unused Railcards; the cooling-off rules in the published terms cover the exceptions.
• Forgotten Card: First-time forgotten Railcard within a 12-month window allows a refund of the full-fare ticket purchased on the day, with valid proof.
• Lost or Damaged: Replacements are issued for a £10 administration fee for lost or damaged cards.
• Stolen Card: Free replacement on production of a police crime reference number.
• Faded Print: Free replacement at staffed stations for station-issued cards with faded printing.

How to Use a Railcard Discount Code

Applying a Railcard discount code at the online checkout takes just a few steps.

• Choose a Railcard: Visit railcard.co.uk and select the qualifying Railcard, term length and Digital, Physical or Station Collection delivery option.
• Continue to checkout: Enter cardholder details and any required eligibility evidence on the secure checkout page.
• Enter the code: Locate the Promotional code box at the basket and type the Railcard voucher code exactly as it appears, including any capital letters, then apply.
• Confirm the saving: Check that the reduction is reflected in the order total before completing payment.
• Note: Most Railcard promo codes apply to qualifying new and renewal Railcard purchases only and may exclude Network Railcard, group travel offers and partner discount codes.
