Passes can be purchased from mid-July.
Step 2: Use your Imagine R pass at least once
In order to ensure that data relating to subscriptions taken out can be communicated to the City of Paris by the operators, a minimum period of 15 days after the first use of the Imagine R Navigo Pass or Vélib’ subscription must be respected before making the request for reimbursement online. If the request is made before this deadline, it will not be processed due to a lack of available data.

Refunds can be requested from the beginning of September to June 30 inclusive.
The request is registered after validation of the summary and receipt of the file number. The procedure is to be carried out exclusively via the online form (no possibility by post or at a counter).
