Choose the option that fits your journey

Compare the specific Octopus product before buying. A loan card and a sold tourist card can have different deposit, return and balance conditions. Owning a card is not the same as having enough value to cover the next journey; check the top-up method you can use.

Read the detail that changes the booking

Read the official refund or return process for the product you selected and include that stop in the departure day if needed. Transport and shop acceptance should be checked for the actual service, not inferred from the general familiarity of the card name.

Keep the final confirmation available

Use the linked operator or seller information for your travel date. Save the selected product, address or meeting point and the terms that apply to your party. Source review dates are separate from publication dates: an English edition is not a claim that a price or service remains unchanged. Leave a practical margin before any fixed onward departure.
