Traveller's guide

This guide will provide you with some important guidelines when travelling with us!

Ticket validity and pass

New ticket validity and modification policy in force on August 7, 2023

A ticket or monthly pass is non-transferable and non-refundable. Only the person whose name appears on the ticket or pass may use it. Limocar may require proof of identity to validate the customer’s identity and the name on the ticket.

If you benefit from a discount on the regular fare, a supporting document (proof of age, student card, etc.) may be required by Limocar in order to validate the passenger’s eligibility for the discount. Limocar reserves the right to refuse a ticket or pass if the fare cannot be justified by the passenger.

An unused ticket in a booklet remains valid for 365 from the date of purchase. A monthly pass is valid only for the applicable month, regardless of the date of purchase. After these periods, the ticket or pass expires without refund.

You must make sure to reserve your seat for a specific departure online or by contacting Customer Service at sac@limocar.ca. Priority will be given at all times to passengers who have reserved their seat on board.

You can use your ticket or pass for any journey between the destinations shown on the ticket or pass. Example: You have a ticket from Sherbrooke to Montreal. You could decide to get off at Longueuil, as this stop is between Sherbrooke and Montreal.

You must follow the direction indicated on your ticket or pass. Example: A ticket from Sherbrooke to Montreal is not valid from Montreal to Sherbrooke.


Ticket modification and pass

A monthly pass is non-transferable and a holder of a monthly pass may change a ticket or otherwise make a reservation on a date outside the month of validity of the said pass. A monthly pass expires automatically at the end of the month of validity.

The name on a ticket cannot be changed or transferred to another person.

The departure date and time of a ticket may only be changed prior to the scheduled departure time for that ticket, but in no case for a date later than 1 year following its purchase. Requests for changes must be made either (i) via the following website www.limocar.ca or by calling 819-562-8899 (or toll-free at 1-866-692-8899).

A ticket expires on the date and time of departure indicated on the ticket. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, a ticket cannot be changed after it has expired and is non-refundable.

All tickets expire 365 days after the date of purchase, not the date of modification. An expired ticket is non-refundable.

*Limocar shall have the right to cancel, without refund or compensation of any kind, any ticket, booklet or monthly pass in the event of fraud or if a passenger fails to comply with these terms and conditions.*
