Duration of the contract.

Automatic renewal.

When purchasing a GA Travelcard, you conclude a contract for an indefinite period. This has the advantage that your subscription is automatically extended after the expiry of the one-year validity period. The SwissPass saves you having to think about renewing your travelcard. Your SwissPass card is valid for several years and your travelcard remains activated on the same card.

Minimum contract duration.

All GA Travelcards have a minimum contract duration of 4 months. You can then decide to have your subscription renewed automatically or to terminate it at the end of a subscription month while respecting the cancellation period.

Cancellation.

Cancellation reminders.

We will remind the ordering party and the invoicing centre manager in good time of the possible termination period before the automatic renewal of the subscription.

Cancellation at the end of the subscription period.

The cancellation period is set at a maximum of one month from the expiry date of the subscription. This gives you enough time to ask your cost centre manager or contract manager to cancel the GA Travelcard. Cancellation can be done at any time in the Travelcard Manager by the contract or cost center manager.

Cancellation currently valid.

The subscription can be cancelled during its period of validity after the minimum contractual period of 4 months by using the refund form (link). You can cancel your GA Travelcard at any time by the end of the next month.

The subscription holder will receive a confirmation of cancellation and a notification on the last day of the subscription’s validity.

Purchase and payment methods.

You can buy your GA Travelcard conveniently online and pay for it with the payment methods provided by your company.

Delivery of the SwissPass.

If the subscription holder does not yet have a SwissPass card, it will be delivered by post to their home address within approximately 10 days. If the time between the order date and the start of the subscription is less than 10 days, a temporary subscription can be downloaded with the purchase receipt.

If the subscription holder already has a SwissPass card, the subscription will be charged to it.
