CANCELLATIONS/REIMBURSEMENTS

Surcharges and other costs won’t be refunded.
Cancellations must be submitted in written form and confirmed by MOBY before the intended date of departure (also possible on journey
at any travel agency with a Moby ticket sales point). Fees will be charged, independent of whether the tickets have been issued or not.
These are as follows (day of cancellation will not be counted):

SARDINIA and CORSICA:

down to 30 days before departure: 10% of the travel price;
29 days - 48 h before departure: 20% of the travel price;
from 48 hours to 4 hours before departure: 50% of the travel price.

Should the person not appear or cancel at a later date or the ticket has been bought the same day as departure day a 100% cancellation fee is charged:

ELBA:

down to 30 days before departure: 10% of the travel price;
29 days - 10 days before departure: 20% of the travel price.
Should the person cancel later no refund will be paid.

The ticket, however, can be used against a previous booking for a crossing to Elba (only routes as booked originally) during the year of issue (possible seasonal changes, etc. must be recalculated).
If the cancellation has not taken place this right ends.

PEX RATES, “BEST OFFER”: see also point 6. Requests for reimbursement have to be made in writing and within 30 days following the date of departure.

Reimbursement applications can only be filed with the agency where the ticket was bought upon presentation of all original documents,
which must be certified with date, stamp and signature on the ticket by a travel agency, by Moby, the port agency in charge or the purser (for each way).

LOSS OF THE TICKET 

The booking or port office must be informed immediately of loss or theft of a ticket. Replacement tickets may only be issued on condition that the lost ticket has not been used, a reservation has been made and the passenger can provide proof of identity by passport or identity card. 
Generally € 10,00 will be charged immediately for the issue of a replacement ticket as a processing fee at port office.

VALIDITY OF THE TICKET

The ticket is issued under a name, is nontransferable, and is valid for only those crossings specified on the ticket. The passenger is to keep the ticket and present it on request of an officer or a representative of the transport enterprise. Should the passenger not be in possession of a valid ticket, twice the regular ticket amount was be charged and compensation for damages was claimed. Letters of confirmation issued from travel agencies for crossings cannot be accepted. For incorrect information on the number of persons, vehicles carried along, etc., the balance is to be paid on the premises. In case of incorrect information on lengths, widths and heights passengers may be placed in a waiting list and embarkation can be refused. By the order of the ticket, the client has to verify that indications and data refer to his booking and that all vehicle-specific data match with the carried along vehicle´s registration. MOBY refuses all responsibility for wrong ticketing. Open date tickets cannot be issued. For bookings performed in Italy the Italian travel conditions apply.
