If you see an error when you try to cancel a pass it could be because you have activated the pass. For Interrail/Eurail passes, open the Eurail/Interrail Rail Planner app on your mobile device and deactivate your travel days. For Swiss Travel Pass Flex, you will need to deactivate your travel days on www.activateyourpass.com. Once all travel days have been deactivated you can try to cancel your pass again.
