How many travelers can a group booking include?
Group ticket booking covers trips of 10 to 60 travelers. Below 10 travelers, you can still book on Kombo as well, but without going through group booking.
How do you book train tickets for a group?
Head to the top of this page and enter:
your departure and arrival stations;
your travel dates;
the number of travelers.
Results appear instantly. All you have to do is select the time, class, and exchange/cancellation conditions that suit you.
If you're already ready to pay and you know the passengers' names, you can move on to the next step, enter the passengers' details, and proceed to payment. You'll receive the tickets as soon as payment is confirmed.
If you don't have all the passengers' names yet, or you'd rather pay later, you can make a pre-booking.
How do you make a pre-booking?
No problem. With pre-booking, you reserve your seats without paying a deposit.
You just need to provide, during booking:
your first and last name;
your email address;
the group's name.
Your seats are reserved, and you can finalize your booking up until D-10.
You'll receive a confirmation email
You pay whenever you're ready, up until D-10 before departure.
After this deadline, your pre-booking is automatically canceled and the seats released. No fees will be charged to you.
Are there payment facilities for group bookings?
Organizing a group trip often means collecting payments from several participants.
Thanks to pre-booking, you can reserve the seats immediately and wait until you've received all the contributions before paying for the booking.
What payment methods are available for group booking?
You can pay with a voucher or promo code, a Kombo gift card, instant bank transfer, chèques vacances (holiday vouchers), or a Mandat Administratif (administrative payment order).
How do you provide the details for all passengers?
You can enter the first and last names, date of birth, email, and phone number of all passengers in your after-sales account.
Can I use my Carte Avantage on a group train booking?
No, group bookings don't let you benefit from the discounted rate of your discount card. If you're a small group and the majority of you have a Carte Avantage, it may be more worthwhile to opt for a regular booking instead, even if that means making several bookings.
When will I receive the invoice?
The invoice and proof of purchase are sent automatically.
After your payment, you immediately receive your proof of purchase. The invoice will be sent to you the day after your trip.
Does group booking come with discounts?
By booking SNCF tickets for a group, you'll benefit from reduced rates:
10% discount for adults,
30% discount for young people (ages 12-27)
60% discount for children (ages 4-11).
Note that for SNCF group tickets, it's not possible to use discount cards such as the Carte Avantage, the Carte Liberté or the TGV MAX Jeunes.
Which SNCF trains does group booking apply to?
SNCF group ticket booking applies to the Inoui and Intercités trains.
Very soon, you'll be able to make group bookings on TER trains.
However, you won't be able to book group tickets for Ouigo. If you absolutely need to book a Ouigo trip as a group, you'll need to make several bookings of up to 9 passengers each.
What are the modification and cancellation conditions for a group booking?
Exchange and cancellation conditions depend on the company.
Booking SNCF tickets for a group offers great flexibility in organizing your trip.
Once the booking is confirmed, you can make changes:
Adding or canceling passenger(s): if one of the passengers can no longer make the trip, you can cancel their ticket (as long as the after-sales conditions allow it). You can also add a passenger if needed.
Canceling or exchanging your Inoui and Intercités tickets, according to their after-sales conditions.
Inoui's cancellation conditions are as follows:
Up to D-46 : refund of 100%
From D-45 to D-12 : refund of 50%
From D-11 : no refund
These conditions apply from the time the remaining balance of the booking is paid.
Cancellation conditions may vary for other types of trains (TGV Lyria, TER, Ouigo etc.). If applicable, they will be specified in the quote request, depending on the train concerned.
