Eurail Pass: The Basics

Discover the basics and key points about Eurail Passes.

What is a Eurail Pass?

With the Eurail Pass, you can travel as much as you like on participating European rail networks for a set time. Choose from a range of valid travel dates, from 4 days to 3 months.

There are two main types of Eurail Passes: Global and One Country.

• Eurail Global Pass – for unlimited rail travel across 33 European countries
• Eurail One Country Pass – for unlimited rail travel in a single country or region

Eurail v Interrail

Eurail passes are only available to non-European citizens and non-residents of Europe. European citizens can purchase an Interrail Pass for the same price as a Eurail Pass.

First-class v second-class: What’s the difference?

Eurail customers can choose to travel first or second class. First class offers more comfort and facilities than the budget-friendly second class.

First-class services vary between countries and train operators; however, you can expect the differences between first and second class.

First Class	Second Class
Extra comfortable adjustable seats	Modern, comfortable seats
Wider seats with more legroom	Compartments and open-plan seating
Extra-wide tables	Multifunctional tables
Quieter carriages with more privacy	Communal carriages
Generous luggage space	Luggage racks and compartments
Electric power per seat (and maybe USB ports)	Shared electric power for two seats
Complimentary wifi	Wifi on some trains
Meals and drinks served at your seat	Restaurant or bistro bar service
Complimentary food and drinks
Access to first-class station lounges
Priority boarding

Budget is usually the deciding factor between first and second class; however, much depends on the Eurail adventure you’re looking for. The second-class pass may be better if you want to meet people and have a more communal experience.

Finally, first-class passes provide access to first-class and second-class coaches, as well as communal areas. Second-class passes are only valid in second-class coaches and communal areas.

Eurail Mobile or Paper Pass

Eurail offers both mobile and paper passes, and unsurprisingly, there are benefits to opting for the mobile option. If you opt for a paper pass, you won’t feel left behind, and it also makes an excellent souvenir.

Mobile pass

A paperless Eurail mobile pass can be instantly added to your phone via the Eurail Rail Planner app. You’ll need to show your mobile app to board trains and have your tickets and app inspected.

• Instant delivery – you’ll receive an email and instructions on how to get started with the Rail Planner app
• Paper-free – activate your pass via the app with an activation code and more convenience
• Flexible start date – no set start date; activate when you want, up to 11 months after you’ve purchased your pass
• Free replacement pass – if you lose your phone, Eurail will help you set up your pass on another one
• Recording your journeys – you must register your journeys and show ticket inspections via the ‘My Trip’ section of the Rail Planner app
• Free cancellation with Plus – for a $25 fee, you can get a 100% refund of an unused mobile pass

Paper pass

The original Eurail paper pass lets you fill in your travel diary as you travel. You’ll need to show your paper pass to board trains and have your tickets inspected.

• Delivery by mail – you’ll need to pay for shipping and plan in advance due to extended delivery times
• Shipping Costs and Times – Delivery costs and times for Eurail paper passes in selected countries. Eurail shipping takes a long time!

• Recording your journeys – register your journeys and show ticket inspectors, either in the ‘My Trip’ section on your paper pass cover or via the ‘My Trip’ section of the Rail Planner app
• Pass protection – for $15, you can purchase Pass Protection, which gives you a refund for train tickets and your Eurail pass if it’s lost or stolen; it’s only available if you buy your pass from Eurail.com

Mobile vs. Paper Pass: Which Is Best?

Whether you opt for a Eurail mobile or paper pass is a personal choice. But Eurail is pushing customers to use their mobile option.

If you prefer to have a physical souvenir of your trip and don’t mind paying for delivery, a paper pass is the perfect option for you. With long shipping times, however, you’ll need to be organised. It’s worth getting Pass Protection for peace of mind.

The mobile pass offers a 100% refund with Plus, which is helpful if your travel plans change. It’s also more flexible for starting your trip and provides a free replacement if your phone is lost or stolen.
