This Affiliate Disclosure explains how TrainsTicket.shop makes money and is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and material connections. Please read it alongside our Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy and Refund Policy.
1. How TrainsTicket Makes Money
TrainsTicket.shop is an independent train fare comparison, referral, and booking-assistance service. We are supported by a combination of:
Referral and affiliate commissions — we may earn a commission or referral fee when you click a link, call our phone line, or complete a booking through a rail operator or third-party booking platform we work with.
Service fees — where disclosed at checkout, TrainsTicket may charge its own separate fee for booking assistance, distinct from the rail fare itself.
This means that when you book a train ticket after visiting TrainsTicket.shop, we may be paid by the operator or booking platform you ultimately transact with, at no additional cost to you unless a separate service fee is clearly disclosed before you pay.
2. This Does Not Make Us "Affiliated" With Any Rail Operator
Earning a referral commission is a financial arrangement, not a corporate relationship. Receiving a commission from a booking does not mean TrainsTicket is owned by, operated by, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially partnered with Amtrak, Brightline, or any other rail operator.
Operator names, logos, and trademarks appearing on TrainsTicket.shop are the property of their respective owners and are used only to identify the routes and services being compared. Their appearance does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of TrainsTicket, and TrainsTicket's receipt of a referral fee does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by that operator either.
3. What This Means for the Fares You See
Compensation we may receive does not increase the fare you are quoted or charged, unless a separate TrainsTicket service fee is clearly disclosed at checkout.
We are not paid to rank or favor one rail operator's schedules or fares over another's. Search results are ordered based on the criteria you select (e.g., price, duration, departure time), not by which operator pays us the most.
If a specific route, promotion, or featured listing on this site is sponsored or paid placement, it will be labeled as such at that location.
4. Third-Party Links
Some links on TrainsTicket lead to the websites of rail operators or third-party booking platforms. We may earn a commission if you make a purchase after following one of these links. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the content, pricing, or practices of these third-party sites once you leave TrainsTicket.shop.
