If you're not exactly sure what you need from us, take a look at our decision matrix below.

To get between two cities within Europe	If you're taking a single trip or a round trip to different places in Europe, our point-to-point travel options may suit you the best. For travel between London, Paris, Brussels, and other destinations in speed and style, look into the Eurostar.	This is the best option if you're sure you're only going to travel between two select cities, especially if you're going one-way or taking a single trip.
Extensive travel within a single country.	Look into our passes for individual countries.
Travel in two countries	Are you traveling infrequently? A point-to-point ticket may be the best option. If you're traveling more frequently, you may want to get a two-country pass.
Travel in three countries that border each other	If you want to travel within three countries that border each other, the Eurail Select Pass is likely to be your best option.	For countries that don't border each other, perhaps separate passes for those countries would be helpful. If you have any questions, call us.
Travel in Britain	Most of our passes do not cover the United Kingdom, including the Eurail Global Pass. Our United Kingdom passes list the ones that do. We also discuss how to get to the UK from the continent and vice-versa.	Some of our passes offer discounts on Eurostar trains.
What's popular	Our most popular travel options include the French Rail Pass, Italy Pass, France-Swizterland passes, France-Germany passes
Unlimited travel around Europe	Take a look at the Eurail Global Pass.	This option is for the hardcore traveler. It's great if you want to ride the rails frequently over a long period of time.
To travel with children	Tell us when you place your order. For passes ordered online, you can tell us how many children are traveling with you.	Youth passes allow individuals under 26 to travel at a reduced rate.
A Youth Pass	A Youth Pass is good when the individual is under 26 on the first day of travel.	There are further reduced rates for children under 11, and children under 4 travel free in most cases.
Traveling as a family	Parents will most likely want to order a saverpass for themselves, and a regular ticket at half-price for children under 11. Older children may also need to be given a saverpass for first-class travel. *If you need any help finding the best passes for your family travel, don't hesitate to call us!*	In many cases, youth passes don't offer first class travel. If you're traveling first class as a family, you may need to order a saverpass for older children.
Rail protection plan	A rail protection plan allows you to get credited for unused time on your rail pass.	In general, it is the policy of European railroads that rail passes are non-refundable. If you order a pass from us, we'll let you know the cost of a rail protection plan before we bill you.
A Europass	The Europass has been retired. Take a look at the Eurail Select Pass.

Are Your Prices Accurate?

We try to keep the prices we list on this web site up-to-date. However, the prices of European rail services are constantly changing due to differing exchange rates of the euro.

How Can I Place An Order?

We offer two options for placing an order. For our more popular selections, you may order online. You may also choose to fill out a form that tells us your needs, and we'll call you back with a quote.

If you prefer to order by phone, you may call us at 800-356-6711 in the United States and Canada.

What Happens When I Place An Order?

We'll call you back to confirm your order before we book. When we call you back, we'll be ready to discuss any concerns you might have, and will tell you the price.

Still Not Sure What You Need?

Do I Need To Bring My Passport?

Yes. You're not likely to get to Europe without it. Besides that, railroad officials will need to see your passport to validate your rail pass. Conductors will request to see your passport when you show them your pass.

Can I Reach You By Phone?

Of course. We often find it best to talk to our customers. If you like, you can fill out a phone consultation form. This lets us learn your needs ahead of time; we then call you back and discuss your options.

If you have a quick question, you can always e-mail us.

If you just want to talk to someone, you can call us by phone at 1-800-356-6711 in the United States and Canada.
