How to renew a senior rail card

If you  use a senior railcard, you will know how much money you save with it. It does, however, need to be renewed for you to continue with the benefits.

An important thing to remember is that you can renew the senior railcard when it is within one month of the expiry date. This is a huge bonus for people who travel out of the country and back again to clients.

To renew online:

You will have created an account for when you purchased your first railcard online.

  • Log in to your account
  • Choose the option of the railcard and click renew next to it
  • Make sure all the details are correct
  • Click to pay and you’re all set.

If you have added your email address when you first signed up, you should receive an email reminding you to renew.

Should you need to update your details, you will see the edit button on the review page, and you can change or add information here.

What if you didn’t buy it online?

You can still renew the railcard by simply going to a station where there is an office. You will need to show either your passport or UK driving license which is to prove you are eligible.

Renewing after the expiry date

If you are out of the country and need to renew your railcard before you arrive back, you can do this even though your card has expired.

What is good about this feature is that it makes no difference whether you bought your card at a station or online, you can still renew it after the expiry date. 

Renewing in advance

Remember that your new card will become valid from the date you renew it, so if you are still out of the UK, you may want to wait until you are about to return. To make the most of the offer you should renew your card as close to the expiry date as you can.

Can I renew my card to start in the future?

Unfortunately, this cannot be done. Your card will be valid from the date you pay for it, and you cannot pay for a start date in the future.

Final thoughts

You will find a heap of relevant information along with important phone numbers should you lose your card at this website.
