### 1/5 — Train ticket booking related

*2026-05-31*

I recently booked a train ticket through RedRail and paid an additional ₹1,500 for their "Seat Guaranteed" service. However, my ticket remained waitlisted and was ultimately canceled. To make matters worse, I received only a partial refund, while the premium amount paid for the guarantee was not refunded.

In addition, I was provided with a voucher that comes with numerous restrictions, including limitations on specific routes and validity periods. Due to these conditions, the voucher is practically unusable and offers little real value.

Based on this experience, I would strongly discourage others from using this service for future bookings. The so-called "Seat Guaranteed" feature appears misleading, as the promised service was not delivered. If a company is unable to fulfill its commitment, it should refund the entire amount paid by the customer rather than retaining money that people have earned through hard work.

**Developer response:** We appreciate you bringing this to our notice. We regret that your recent experience with the redRail IRCTC booking process fell short of expectations. Kindly write to us at AppFeedback@redrail.in, so our team can look into this and help resolve it. Team redRail - IRCTC Authorized Partner!

### 1/5 — No USE if Seat Guarantee Option

*2025-11-29*

Worst App, It will take your money in name of seat Guarantee and if it gets you 3x refund, then the ticket booked from the refilund amount also end up getting waitlisted or unutilised due to their lots of conditions which says to use within same location, to use within 7 days😂😂 Best way to fool people

### 1/5 — Zero response from customer care team

*2025-04-23*

I have got 3x refund from my booking after cancellation of my tickets. But  it is not applying on any booking and it is showing expired. And I am contacting the customer care team but there is no team who can answer, only ai reverting automatically. Worst experience ever

### 1/5 — Seat guarantee feature

*2025-03-05*

Don’t fall fall this feature as they will then send you the 2X. Coupon and you will have to use it within 7 days. And if you book for a certain date eg friday sat sun, they will tell you that this coupon is not applicable for these dates.

Worst decision

### 1/5 — Fraud red rail app

*2025-01-27*

I lost 300 ruppes because of this app because I booked in red rail and not in Redbus . I am very frequent traveller of Redbus but thought of trying this app and booked . It showed me available and I booked but what happens is that it goes to general waiting list . Why would I even book if I know it will go to waiting list . Guys please don’t book here , I am not getting that money and I don’t care but I am writing this review just to say that there are many apps better than this and please try to book in IRCTC itself .

I tried to call customer support , worst service guys . I couldn’t even connect to one . Only so bots which is speaking and it’s doesn’t answer anything. Redbus being a monopoly in the aggregator model of busses . I think they should quit for trains .

### 1/5 — Guaranteed Ticket is fraud

*2024-12-25*

RedRail’s ‘Guaranteed Ticket or 3X Return’ is a complete scam! We paid nearly 50% extra, trusting their promise as we trusted their redbus, but they did nothing to secure my ticket. I had to book a separate ticket myself to travel. Later, they informed me the voucher is valid for only 7 days and on the same route with the same traveler. This is outright misleading—why fool customers with such hollow guarantees?

### 5/5 — From Waitlist 158 to Confirmed Ticket: My Amazing Experience with RedRail Seat Guarantee

*2024-12-15*

I was honestly worried when my train ticket was stuck at waitlist 158. But thanks to RedRail’s Seat Guarantee, my problem was solved like magic! The process was so smooth and hassle-free. I got my confirmed ticket just in time and didn’t have to stress about my travel plans at all. RedRail has truly impressed me, and I’m so happy with their service. Highly recommend it to anyone struggling with waitlisted tickets!

**Developer response:** Hey! We are happy to know that you found our app useful. Please help us by spreading the word amongst your friends/family. Team redRail - IRCTC Authorized Partner Happy Booking! ^Affan

### 1/5 — "Don't fall for the 'seat guaranteed' scam on Redrail Avoid this app at all costs!"

*2024-12-12*

I recently booked a train ticket on RedRail and paid a premium for a "seat guaranteed" ticket of 1500extra Despite this, my ticket was waitlisted and eventually canceled. I received a refund of only a portion of the total amount paid, they wont return the premium fee.

Additionally, I received a voucher with strict terms and conditions, limiting its usability to a specific route and time frame. This voucher is essentially worthless, as it's nearly impossible to utilize it fully.

I strongly advise against using this app for future bookings. It's clear that their "seat guaranteed" service is a deceptive practice. I suggest please if you are not able to fulfil your promise they please return back what customer has paid don’t eat up poor hard earned money.

**Developer response:** Hi, we get your dissapointment. Please share the details on the link https://bit.ly/3YdD8hy so that our team can check and assist you further. Team redRail - IRCTC Authorized Partner ^Affan
