Europe: Cheap Train Tickets – Rail Europe v Trainline v Klook
Rail Europe (formerly Loco2), Trainline and Klook sell train tickets in Europe. All ticket providers offer up-to-date deals. In my research, I’ve found prices vary a great deal depending on the journey!
And of course, then there are booking fees:
Rail Europe (formerly Loco2): £4.95, €5.95 or $5.95 depending on the currency you book in. There are no booking fees on spend under £15/€15/$15. The fee is only charged once per order.
Trainline: No booking fees for journeys with SNCF, Deutsche Bahn, Eurostar, Thalys, Trenitalia, Thello, Italo, Renfe, OUIGO, and OUIBUS. Booking fees do apply for trips with SBB, SNCB, NS, ÖBB, DSB & ČD, however, Trailine does not tell you how much they are!
Klook: No booking fees.
But unfortunately, it’s not that straightforward as ticket prices and journeys differ so much. If you’re looking for cheap train tickets in Europe, you’ll have to compare the overall costs.
I recommend you try Rail Europe (formerly Loco2) first, and compare against Trainline and Klook.
